2016 Pokémon cards worth money
The most valuable 2016 Pokémon card is Magikarp 4/12 from McDonald's Collection 2016, at about $222 for a raw copy and $749 in a PSA 10 slab. Next come Gyarados-EX 123/122 ($200) and Flareon-EX RC28 ($175). 2016 gave us BREAKpoint, Generations, Fates Collide, Steam Siege, McDonald's Collection 2016 and Evolutions: 613 English cards, of which 77 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 2016 pulls against what they actually fetch.
For a modern year like 2016, 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 played copy sells for less than the raw price here, and a PSA 10 of the same card can be several times more. These sets sit in the XY era; the year is the set’s English release date, not the copyright line on the card. More in the guides: Pokémon cards worth money and are new Pokémon cards worth anything?

Common questions
Are 2016 Pokémon cards worth anything?
Some are. 77 of the 613 English cards released in 2016 sell for $20 or more raw today, topped by Magikarp 4/12 at about $222. Most commons and uncommons are bulk unless they are gem mint.
What is the most valuable 2016 Pokémon card?
Magikarp 4/12 from McDonald's Collection 2016, at about $222 raw and $749 in PSA 10.
How do I tell if my 2016 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: 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.
