Item specifics

Fill in Game (Pokémon TCG), Card Name, Character, Set, Card Number, Rarity, Finish, Language and Features (1st Edition, Full Art, Alternative Art). eBay's filters only show listings with these filled in, and they should match the title.

Condition

Raw cards need a condition: Near Mint or better, Lightly played (Excellent), Moderately played (Very good) or Heavily played (Poor). Slabs need the grader, the grade and the cert number. Describe any whitening or scratches honestly; it's cheaper than a return.

Price from sold listings

Filter by sold items for the exact card, in the same language, edition and grade. A Japanese copy or a reverse holo of the same card sells at a very different price. See how to see sold items on eBay.

Ship it

Raw cards under $20 ship by eBay Standard Envelope from $0.78 with tracking; slabs and pricier cards go in a padded mailer.
