Pokémon Card Guides

Everything a collector needs to know before pricing, sorting, storing, grading or selling Pokémon cards. Written by the team behind Cardex, the Pokémon card scanner and price checker, and kept up to date as the market changes.

Most questions about Pokémon cards come down to the same few steps: work out exactly which card you have, judge its condition honestly, and compare it with what buyers are actually paying right now. These guides walk through each of those steps in plain language. Start with card value if you have found a card and want a number, with rarity symbols or set identification if you are not sure what you are holding, and with condition and grading if you already know the card is worth something. The storage and organization guides help you protect a collection as it grows, and the selling guides cover where and how to list cards once you are ready to move them.

Every guide is written to work on its own, but they link to each other where one step depends on another. Cardex is mentioned where scanning genuinely saves time, but the manual methods are always explained too.

Skip the lookup. Scan the card.

Cardex identifies the exact card, set, rarity and variant from your camera, then shows current raw and graded prices, recent eBay sales and price history. Free on iPhone, iPad and Android.
