2001 Pokémon cards worth money

Q: How do I tell if my 2001 Pokémon card is worth money?

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

The most valuable 2001 Pokémon card is Mew 1/18 from Southern Islands, at about $1,300 for a raw copy and $840,000 in a PSA 10 slab. Next come Shining Gyarados 65/64 ($1,000) and Shining Magikarp 66/64 ($636). 2001 gave us Neo Discovery, Southern Islands and Neo Revelation: 159 English cards, of which 57 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 2001 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 on a 2001 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.

Are 2001 Pokémon cards worth anything?

Some are. 57 of the 159 English cards released in 2001 sell for $20 or more raw today, topped by Mew 1/18 at about $1,300. Most commons and uncommons are bulk unless they are gem mint or 1st Edition.

What is the most valuable 2001 Pokémon card?

Mew 1/18 from Southern Islands, at about $1,300 raw and $840,000 in PSA 10.

How do I tell if my 2001 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 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.
