Where to buy Pokemon cards

A single is one card, bought on its own. It is the cheapest way to get one card you want, because you do not pay for packs that do not have it. Find the card on our site first. Its page shows the set, the card number and a TCGplayer market price for each finish (Normal, Holofoil, Reverse Holofoil and the others), so you know which listing to look for.

• TCGplayer is a US marketplace of many card sellers. Most card pages on our site have a Buy on TCGplayer link to the exact printing and finish. The market prices we show come from TCGplayer.
• eBay has auctions and fixed-price listings, including graded cards and older cards that few stores stock. Check the photos, the seller's feedback and the return policy.
• CardNexus is a card marketplace based in Europe. It lists Pokemon singles and sealed products.

Not sure what your card is? Use photo search to find it from a picture, or look up any card by name on the card value checker.

Sealed products are booster packs, booster boxes, Elite Trainer Boxes and bundles. Our guides list them by set with their TCGplayer market prices: booster boxes, Elite Trainer Boxes and booster packs.

When a set is new, stores sell its products at the retail price, and so does the Pokemon Center, the official online store of The Pokemon Company. Popular sets can sell out at stores. Then marketplaces are the main place to buy them, and the price can be higher or lower than retail.

A local game store sells packs and boxes, and many also sell singles from a case or binder, so you can see the card before you buy it. Many run Pokemon TCG events too. The official Play! Pokemon event locator lists stores near you that run official events.

Big stores such as Target, Walmart, Best Buy and GameStop sell sealed products such as packs, boxes and tins. Stock depends on the store, so call or check the store's website before you go.
