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 HeartGold & SoulSilver

  • This set introduced Pokémon Prime cards, identifiable by a Holofoil card border, gold foil name text, spiked artwork-window border, and the absence of a Pokédex entry.
  • Pokémon Prime cards replaced the usual Reverse Holofoil card slot in booster packs.

Editions and variants

  • Pokémon Prime: Look for a Holofoil border, gold-foil name text, spiked artwork-window trim, a close-up art crop, and no Pokédex entry text box.

Notes on this entry

Japanese release October 9, 2009 across separate HeartGold Collection and SoulSilver Collection subsets (142 cards); English release February 10, 2010.

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.
