Most cards in any set are worth well under a dollar raw; the money is in the holo rares, first-print editions and high grades above. A PSA 10 can be worth ten to a hundred times the raw card, so check centering, corners, edges and surface before you decide whether grading is worth it (see card grading). Prices move with the market; use them as a reference, not an offer.
How to tell a card is from Black & White
- This set's redesign changed the printed card-border color, and it differed by region.
- The holofoil pattern used on Rare Holo cards was replaced by a new horizontal-striped foil.
Notes on this entry
First set of the Black & White Series; Japanese release December 17, 2010, English release April 25, 2011.
Checks that apply to any Pokémon card
- Bottom-left or bottom-right corner: the set symbol and the collector number (e.g. 4/102) tell you the set; older cards have no symbol at all, which itself narrows them to Base Set.
- Left of the number: a 1st Edition stamp, if present, sits below the art on WOTC-era cards.
- Regulation mark (a letter in a box near the bottom, D through H so far) dates modern cards to a two-year window.
- Back of the card: the blue Poké Ball back has changed little since 1999; a washed-out, blurry or wrongly colored back is the first sign of a fake.
How to photograph it for identification
Lay the card flat on a dark surface in daylight, straight on, with the whole card in frame, then a close-up of the bottom edge where the set symbol, number and any edition stamp sit. Tilt holo cards under the light for a second shot to show the foil pattern. Photograph the back too. The app reads the card and set; the edition and rarity checks above tell you which version you have.
