What is the most expensive card in Base Set?

How much is a complete set of Base Set worth?

Dexcatch currently prices 100 of the 102 cards in Base Set, and those 100 come to $2,172 as of September 17, 2026, with a median of $2.57. The remaining 2 cards are not priced yet, so read this as the tracked-card subtotal rather than the value of the full set.

How many cards are in Base Set?

Are Base Set card prices going up or down?

Over the past 7 days, of the 20 Base Set cards above $1.00 with enough history to measure, 8 moved up and 12 moved down, based on daily market snapshots. Cards below $1.00 are left out because a one-cent move on a bulk card reads as a double-digit percentage.
