What a Secret Rare card is worth
The most valuable one we price is Charizard from Skyridge at $5,728£4,311€5,045. The 601 cards across 77 sets come to $67k£50k€59k together, and the median card at this rarity is $15.22£11.46€13.40, so half of everything printed with the label trades below that. The ten at the top hold 33.7% of the total on their own, which is the normal shape here: the label sets the print run, the Pokemon on the card sets the price.
How to spot a Secret Rare
A secret rare is defined by its number, not its look. The collector number runs past the set's printed total, so a card reading 199/198 is secret whatever the artwork does. Of the 589 we price that carry a number out of a set total, 588 are numbered past it, so checking the number against the total after the slash identifies one on its own.
Every other rarity is on the rarity chart, and the rarest cards list ranks the chase tiers against each other by price.
