Most Valuable Cards in Pokemon GO TCG Set
Every now and again a Pokemon TCG set comes along that gets a lot of attention. Pokemon GO is one of those sets. Much like Celebrations, Pokemon GO brings with it an element of nostalgia. Sure, it might not signify 25 years of Pokemon like Celebrations did, but it brings back memories of those earstwhile days of 2016 when Pokemon GO was a fad, and we all had something to do with each other for a change.
This could be why it’s so hard to get your hands on any real Pokemon GO product. At your local store, they seem to be constantly out of stock. But if you can manage to get your hands on a few boxes, these are the cards you are going to want to be looking out for the most.
MewTwo VSTAR
Although not an incredibly valuable card by any means, MewTwo VSTAR is the first card you’ll find that has some good, solid value. If you pull this card, make sure to either hold onto it, or stick it in your binder for safe keeping!
What this card goes for probably varies on any given Sunday, but most recently I sold one for 5.50.
Radiant Venusaur
Many collectors will want to hold onto Radiant Venusaur. Not only is it based on the much beloved original starter Pokemon, it’s also one of this set’s super rare and super collectible, Radiant Pokemon.
In addition to its collectibility, players of the game might value it for its Ability, which is also pretty good. I recently purchased this card on the singles market for around $12.
Radiant Blastoise
Radiant Blastoise is another one of those key cards you are going to want to pull from this set. Like Venusaur, it is gifted with a powerful ability, coupled with the collectability of the starter Pokemon.
If you get this card, either sell it right away if you are into flipping Pokemon cards, or package it up and add it to your private collection.
Radiant Charizard
Of course, the grandaddy of all Pokemon cards is going to be worth the most. Radiant Charizard, based off of the original and massively popular fire Pokemon, Charizard, packs a punch in the wallet and in the game. Loaded with a special ability that might make your mouth water to use it in a game while doubting your sanity for treating such a card so poorly, Radiant Charizard is one of those cards very much likely to stick around for a long time as a highly sought after card.
Professor Willow Rainbow Rare
My son and I pulled this one and put it in our collection. It’s not an incredibly valuable card, but it will fetch you over $10 on the right day. Plus it looks really cool, too.
Dragonite VSTAR Rainbow Rare
One of my favorite cards from this set overall, Rragonite VSTAR Rainbow Rare looks cool, and it’s based on an Iconic Dragon Pokemon from the first generation.
If you are lucky enough to pocket this bad boy, you’re looking at a value of around 30+ bucks.
MewTwo VSTAR Gold and Alternate Art
Last but not least, the MewTwo VSTAR Gold Rare and Alternate Art are the two most valuable cards in the Pokemon Go TCG set. Pulling one of these two cards means pocketing $40+ a piece. Truly any collector’s dream!
