Modern cards · 2017 to today

Why only modern cards?

Holoworthy covers English Pokémon sets from 2017 onwards, from Sun & Moon to the newest releases.

Every price here comes from real sales on TCGplayer. Modern cards are bought and sold every day, so their prices stay accurate and up to date.

Vintage cards are a different story. The best of them change hands only now and then, sometimes just a few times a month, so one unusual sale can swing the price a long way.

Rather than show you numbers we can't fully stand behind, we focus on the era where prices are solid.

  1. Mew R/RGB RGB Rare from 30th Celebration$4,900
  2. Latias & Latios-GX 170/181 Ultra Rare from Team Up$4,500
  3. Umbreon VMAX 215/203 Rainbow Rare from Evolving Skies$2,324
