2009 Pokémon cards worth money
The most valuable 2009 Pokémon card is Pikachu 7/16 from Pokémon Rumble, at about $879 for a near-mint raw copy and $25,609 in a PSA 10 slab. 2009 gave us Platinum, POP Series 9, Rising Rivals, Supreme Victors, Arceus and Pokémon Rumble: 550 English cards, of which 99 sell for $20 or more raw today. Every one is priced below from real sales, raw and graded, chase cards first, so you can check a stack of 2009 pulls against what they actually fetch.
For a modern year like 2009, the money sits in the top rarities: the alt arts, illustration rares, gold and rainbow secret rares and each set’s hyper-rare chase. Regular holos and reverses are mostly playset money. Condition still decides everything: a raw price here is for a near-mint copy, and a PSA 10 of the same card can be several times more. These sets sit in the Platinum era; the year is the set’s English release date, not the copyright line on the card.

Common questions
Are 2009 Pokémon cards worth anything?
Some are. 99 of the 550 English cards released in 2009 sell for $20 or more raw today, topped by Pikachu 7/16 at about $879. Most commons and uncommons are bulk unless they are gem mint.
What is the most valuable 2009 Pokémon card?
Pikachu 7/16 from Pokémon Rumble, at about $879 raw and $25,609 in PSA 10.
How do I tell if my 2009 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 (holo, reverse holo or the special rarity) and the condition: prices are for near-mint copies, and a played card sells for less. 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.
