About the Vintage Pokémon Card Heatmap

The vintage Pokémon card heatmap covers the first era of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, printed by Wizards of the Coast from 1999 to 2003: Base Set (Shadowless), Base Set, Jungle, Fossil, Base Set 2 and the sets that followed, up to Skyridge. Each box is one set and each tile one card, sized by its price.

Only the 12 most valuable cards of each set are shown, and none under $5, so the map stays readable and shows the cards that carry a set's value. Color is the price change: the map opens on 7 days, with 1 day, 30 days and 1 year one click away. For every card of a set, open that set's own heatmap from the list below the map.

Vintage Pokémon Card Heatmap FAQ

How do I read the vintage Pokémon heatmap?

Each tile is one card and each box is one set. The tile's area is the card's price, and its color is the price change over the selected period: green for gains, red for losses, deeper shades for moves above 5% and 15%. Click a set's name to zoom into it.

Which cards are on the map?

The 12 most valuable cards of each Wizards of the Coast expansion with a market price of $5 or more, up to 250 cards. Promo cards, decks and trainer kits are left out.

Where do the prices come from?

From TCGplayer, the largest marketplace for Pokémon cards in the United States. The price shown is TCGplayer's market price, which is based on what copies recently sold for rather than on what sellers are asking. Prices are in US dollars for ungraded (raw) English cards, not for graded slabs such as PSA 10, and they update once a day.

Why do vintage cards jump so much?

Few copies of a vintage card sell in a given week, and their condition varies. One sale well above or below the last one moves the market price more than it would for a modern card that sells every hour. Read large moves on this map with that in mind, and check the 30 day and 1 year views.
