2002 Pokémon cards worth money
The most valuable 2002 Pokémon card is Charizard 6/165 from Expedition Base Set, at about $2,400 for a raw copy and $139,500 in a PSA 10 slab. Next come Mew 19/165 ($2,200) and Shining Charizard 107/105 ($1,800). 2002 gave us Neo Destiny, Legendary Collection, Expedition Base Set and Best of Game: 397 English cards, of which 138 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 2002 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 2002 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.

Common questions
Are 2002 Pokémon cards worth anything?
Some are. 138 of the 397 English cards released in 2002 sell for $20 or more raw today, topped by Charizard 6/165 at about $2,400. Most commons and uncommons are bulk unless they are gem mint or 1st Edition.
What is the most valuable 2002 Pokémon card?
Charizard 6/165 from Expedition Base Set, at about $2,400 raw and $139,500 in PSA 10.
How do I tell if my 2002 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.
