1999 Pokémon cards worth money

Q: How do I tell if my 1999 Pokémon card is worth money?

Find the set symbol and card number, match the card here, then check the printing (1st Edition stamp, Shadowless frame or Unlimited) and the condition: a played card sells for less than the price shown.

The most valuable 1999 Pokémon card is Pokémon Center 40/53 from Wizards Black Star Promos, at about $1,999 for a raw copy and $3,600 in a PSA 10 slab. Next come Lucky Stadium 41/53 ($1,864) and Charizard 4/102 ($721). 1999 gave us Miscellaneous, Base Set, Jungle, Wizards Black Star Promos and Fossil: 282 English cards, of which 89 sell for $20 or more raw today. Every one is priced below, raw and graded, chase cards first, so you can check a stack of 1999 pulls against what they actually fetch.

Wizards-era rule of thumb: the holo rares carry the value, commons and uncommons are bulk unless they’re 1st Edition or gem mint, and the print matters as much as the card. A 1st Edition stamp or a Shadowless frame on a 1999 card is a different item with its own price, so check the printing pages further down before you sell. These sets sit in the Wizards of the Coast era; the year is the set’s English release date, not the copyright line on the card.

Some are. 89 of the 282 English cards released in 1999 sell for $20 or more raw today, topped by Pokémon Center 40/53 at about $1,999. Most commons and uncommons are bulk unless they are gem mint or 1st Edition.

What is the most valuable 1999 Pokémon card?

Pokémon Center 40/53 from Wizards Black Star Promos, at about $1,999 raw and $3,600 in PSA 10.

How do I tell if my 1999 Pokémon card is worth money?

Find the set symbol and card number (the set symbols chart helps), match the card here, then check the printing (1st Edition stamp, Shadowless frame or Unlimited) and the condition: a played card sells for less than the price shown. The price checker walks through it step by step.

Is the year printed on the card the release year?

Not reliably. The copyright line is the artwork’s copyright and can predate the English set by a year or more, and reprints keep the original line. These pages use the English release date of the set.
