Cards Worth Chasing

Base Set — every card, ranked by upside

Every Base Set card, all printings ranked together — 427 cards in total, priced raw and at PSA 7, 8, 9 and 10, and sorted by what a raw copy could be worth in a PSA 10 once you pay to grade it. The printing is named on every row, because on these sets it is most of what a card is worth. 404 carry a rank.

Prices: PriceCharting sold-comp data, October 12, 2026 — refreshed monthly. The cost basis includes $59.99 to grade (PSA Standard, the cheapest tier you can buy). Populations are PSA-graded copies only — CGC is excluded so every share has one denominator.

The card every other vintage card is priced against, and the flagship of the oldest English set. It holds the biggest prize on this list by an enormous margin — roughly $325,593 above what it costs to buy raw and grade. The catch is the odds: only about 41.7% of graded Charizards reach a PSA 7 or better, and more than a quarter come back a grade 6 or below. If you grade one, expect an 8 or 9 — the PSA 10 is only a 2.4% outcome.

The second-biggest prize in the set, and the biggest surprise. A raw copy at about $400 sits under a PSA 10 worth roughly $102,500, a prize of some $102,040 on a very small outlay. But read the odds before you believe it: only about 68 PSA 10s exist in 3,143 graded copies, and 34% come back a grade 6 or below. The prize is real. The chance of collecting it is about one in forty-six.

The anime's antagonist and one of the most recognised characters in the franchise. Its prize is about $53,481, and the odds behind it are among the kinder ones here: roughly 57.9% of graded copies reach a PSA 7 or better. A raw entry near $528 keeps the cost side low, which is what turns a $54,070 PSA 10 from a number into a plausible target.

Raw copies cost $463.38 and a PSA 10 has sold for $37,934.00 — +$37,411 over the cost of buying one raw and grading it. A PSA 7 already clears the fee (+$382), so the downside is limited to what the raw copy cost. 75.3% of graded copies reach a PSA 7 or better and 7.3% come back a 10. PSA has recorded 3,584 copies of this printing.

The second starter and the set's other heavyweight, with the second-largest PSA 10 price in the set at roughly $70,729. Its odds are the steadier story: about 50.6% of graded copies reach a PSA 7 or better, and its grade spread sits higher up the range than Chansey's. A prize of about $69,384 on a $1,285 entry — a big number with better-than-average odds of landing somewhere useful.

The third starter, and quietly the most gem-friendly of the three. Venusaur has produced about 172 PSA 10s from 4,009 graded copies — more PSA 10s in absolute terms than either Blastoise or Charizard, off a smaller population. Its prize of roughly $36,002 is smaller than Blastoise's for that reason, but if you are choosing which starter to submit, the odds separate them and Venusaur's are the best.

Shadowless is the printing between 1st Edition and Unlimited — the 1999 artwork with thinner borders and no drop shadow under the frame, but no 1st Edition stamp. Raw copies run about $1,010, so grading one leaves roughly +$29,030 at a PSA 10. The 10 is essentially unreachable at 0.4% of PSA-graded copies (58 of 13,006), so the realistic ceiling is the $9,974 PSA 9 rather than the headline $30,100. It profits at every rung from PSA 7 up, which is rare outside the holos.

A fan-favourite fire-type whose prize sits above several more famous cards, at roughly $21,731. Roughly 2,562 graded copies — one of the thinner populations here — and a 61.7% chance of a PSA 7 or better, which is among the better spreads in the set. A useful reminder that perceived popularity and graded demand do not always move together.

One of the two most forgiving cards to grade in the entire set. About 63.8% of graded Poliwraths reach a PSA 7 or better, and 4.4% come back a PSA 10 — nearly nine times Machamp's rate. The prize is small at roughly $12,239, so it will never top a value ranking, but a high hit-rate on a $359 entry is a different kind of opportunity than a lottery ticket.

One of the set's two fighting-types and the sharper edge of the pair. A gem rate of about 2.7% is low — level with Charizard's — and only 57.5% of graded copies reach a PSA 7 or better, with a third coming back a grade 6 or below. The $288 raw price is among the cheapest entries here, so a cheap entry softens the risk, but the odds say expect a mid grade.

The first card in the set by number, and a genuine hobby landmark for that alone. Drawn by Sugimori with 2,887 graded copies and a 54.6% chance of a PSA 7 or better, on a $597 raw entry against a prize of about $16,775. Note the shape: this card is more likely to grade a 9 (19.0%) than a 7 (14.1%), which is a healthier spread than most here.

An anime monster with a devoted following and no starter premium, which makes it one of the more interesting cards in the middle of the table. Drawn by Arita, with about 2,860 graded copies and a 59.7% chance of a PSA 7 or better. The prize is a fraction of the starters' at roughly $25,766 — but the odds of landing a decent grade are meaningfully better, and the raw entry is only about $416.

Shadowless is the printing between 1st Edition and Unlimited — the 1999 artwork with thinner borders and no drop shadow under the frame, but no 1st Edition stamp. Raw copies run about $88, so grading one leaves roughly +$12,996 at a PSA 10. 1.1% of PSA-graded copies reach a 10, with 52.7% still landing at grade 6 or below. It profits at every rung from PSA 7 up, which is rare outside the holos.

Shadowless is the printing between 1st Edition and Unlimited — the 1999 artwork with thinner borders and no drop shadow under the frame, but no 1st Edition stamp. Raw copies run about $125, so grading one leaves roughly +$11,475 at a PSA 10. The 10 is essentially unreachable at 0.8% of PSA-graded copies (33 of 4,392), so the realistic ceiling is the $626 PSA 9 rather than the headline $11,659. It profits at every rung from PSA 7 up, which is rare outside the holos.

The only holo in Base Set not drawn by Sugimori or Arita — Keiji Kinebuchi's work, and the reason it has a following among art-focused collectors. About 64.7% of graded copies reach a PSA 7 or better, the best odds in the set, on the second-cheapest raw entry at roughly $214. The prize is a middle-weight $9,993, but the reliability is the best available here.

A classic Sugimori holo sitting mid-table on a $465 raw price, with a 62.5% chance of a PSA 7 or better — better odds than several cards ranked above it. Its prize is modest at roughly $13,897, but a $146 profit at a PSA 7 means the downside is thin. That is the honest profile of most non-starter holos in this set: a small prize that is relatively likely to materialise.

Pikachu's evolution carries the recognition without the print volume, and that asymmetry is the story. Around $334 raw against a prize of about $20,346, with a 57.3% chance of reaching a PSA 7 or better. For a collector who wants a headline Pokémon without paying the starter price, this is the shape of card to look for: a real prize with odds that hold up.

Shadowless is the printing between 1st Edition and Unlimited — the 1999 artwork with thinner borders and no drop shadow under the frame, but no 1st Edition stamp. Raw copies run about $50, so grading one leaves roughly +$4,334 at a PSA 10. The 10 is essentially unreachable at 0.4% of PSA-graded copies (16 of 3,560), so the realistic ceiling is the $1,472 PSA 9 rather than the headline $4,443. It profits at every rung from PSA 7 up, which is rare outside the holos.

The cautionary tale of this guide, and the reason it is not simply ‘big number wins.’ Machamp is the most heavily graded card here by a wide margin — 7,404 copies — and only 48 came back PSA 10. That is a gem rate of about 0.2%, roughly one in two hundred. Worse, more than a third of all graded copies come back a grade 6 or below, and only 34.2% reach a PSA 7 or better. Its profit at a PSA 7 is exactly $0 — so the $4,576 prize is a number you will almost certainly never see.

Raw copies run about $57, so grading one leaves roughly +$3,934 at a PSA 10. 1.9% of PSA-graded copies reach a 10, with 43.6% still landing at grade 6 or below. It profits at every rung from PSA 7 up, which is rare outside the holos.

Shadowless is the printing between 1st Edition and Unlimited — the 1999 artwork with thinner borders and no drop shadow under the frame, but no 1st Edition stamp. Raw copies run about $75, so grading one leaves roughly +$3,667 at a PSA 10. The 10 is essentially unreachable at 0.7% of PSA-graded copies (26 of 3,545), so the realistic ceiling is the $764 PSA 9 rather than the headline $3,802. It profits at every rung from PSA 7 up, which is rare outside the holos.

Raw copies cost $376.21 and a PSA 10 has sold for $3,427.68 — +$2,991 over the cost of buying one raw and grading it. Every grade below a 10 loses money at today's prices (−$386 at a 7, −$363 at an 8, −$71 at a 9), so the whole case rests on the gem.

Shadowless is the printing between 1st Edition and Unlimited — the 1999 artwork with thinner borders and no drop shadow under the frame, but no 1st Edition stamp. Raw copies run about $36, so grading one leaves roughly +$2,295 at a PSA 10. 1.8% of PSA-graded copies reach a 10, with 38.9% still landing at grade 6 or below.

Shadowless is the printing between 1st Edition and Unlimited — the 1999 artwork with thinner borders and no drop shadow under the frame, but no 1st Edition stamp. Raw copies run about $20, so grading one leaves roughly +$1,090 at a PSA 10. 19.2% of PSA-graded copies reach a 10, with 20.4% still landing at grade 6 or below. It only turns a profit from PSA 8 upward, so the 10 is where it actually pays.

Every grade below a 10 loses money at today's prices (−$51 at a 7, −$45 at an 8, −$26 at a 9), so the whole case rests on the gem. 85.0% of graded copies reach a PSA 7 or better and 14.0% come back a 10.

Raw copies cost $11.99 and a PSA 10 has sold for $583.39 — +$511 over the cost of buying one raw and grading it. The 9 clears the fee (+$87) but the 8 does not. PriceCharting records no PSA census for this printing, so there are no odds to quote — the figure above comes from its sold-comp data alone.

Shadowless is the printing between 1st Edition and Unlimited — the 1999 artwork with thinner borders and no drop shadow under the frame, but no 1st Edition stamp. Raw copies run about $10, so grading one leaves roughly +$386 at a PSA 10. 14.3% of PSA-graded copies reach a 10, with 16.8% still landing at grade 6 or below. No rung of the ladder clears the fee, so its position here is a ceiling, not a plan.

Shadowless is the printing between 1st Edition and Unlimited — the 1999 artwork with thinner borders and no drop shadow under the frame, but no 1st Edition stamp. Raw copies run about $13, so grading one leaves roughly +$327 at a PSA 10. The odds are unusually generous for a vintage card: 20.9% of PSA-graded copies return a 10, and only 12.1% come back grade 6 or below. It only turns a profit from PSA 9 upward, so the 10 is where it actually pays.

Raw copies cost $8.84 and a PSA 10 has sold for $397.27 — +$328 over the cost of buying one raw and grading it. Every grade below a 10 loses money at today's prices (−$39 at a 7, −$31 at an 8, −$3 at a 9), so the whole case rests on the gem. 91.7% of graded copies reach a PSA 7 or better and 37.3% come back a 10. PSA has recorded 882 copies of this printing.

Raw copies run about $16, so grading one leaves roughly +$321 at a PSA 10. 19.6% of PSA-graded copies reach a 10, with 9.4% still landing at grade 6 or below. It only turns a profit from PSA 9 upward, so the 10 is where it actually pays. The Shadowless census is thin — 373 PSA-graded copies — so a grading decision here moves the population, and the population moves the price.

Raw copies cost $2.75 and a PSA 10 has sold for $331.75 — +$269 over the cost of buying one raw and grading it. Every grade below a 10 loses money at today's prices (−$40 at a 7, −$28 at an 8, −$9 at a 9), so the whole case rests on the gem. 93.0% of graded copies reach a PSA 7 or better and 44.5% come back a 10. PSA has recorded 941 copies of this printing.

Shadowless is the printing between 1st Edition and Unlimited — the 1999 artwork with thinner borders and no drop shadow under the frame, but no 1st Edition stamp. Raw copies run about $3, so grading one leaves roughly +$262 at a PSA 10. The odds are unusually generous for a vintage card: 23.9% of PSA-graded copies return a 10, and only 9.3% come back grade 6 or below. No rung of the ladder clears the fee, so its position here is a ceiling, not a plan. The Shadowless census is thin — 364 PSA-graded copies — so a grading decision here moves the population, and the population moves the price.

Shadowless is the printing between 1st Edition and Unlimited — the 1999 artwork with thinner borders and no drop shadow under the frame, but no 1st Edition stamp. Raw copies run about $3, so grading one leaves roughly +$222 at a PSA 10. The odds are unusually generous for a vintage card: 20.4% of PSA-graded copies return a 10, and only 12.0% come back grade 6 or below. It only turns a profit from PSA 9 upward, so the 10 is where it actually pays.

Raw copies cost $13.85 and a PSA 10 has sold for $250.90 — +$177 over the cost of buying one raw and grading it. Every grade below a 10 loses money at today's prices (+$0 at a 7, −$59 at an 8, −$12 at a 9), so the whole case rests on the gem. 93.9% of graded copies reach a PSA 7 or better and 20.4% come back a 10. PSA has recorded 49 copies of this printing.

Shadowless is the printing between 1st Edition and Unlimited — the 1999 artwork with thinner borders and no drop shadow under the frame, but no 1st Edition stamp. Raw copies run about $4, so grading one leaves roughly +$176 at a PSA 10. The odds are unusually generous for a vintage card: 21.6% of PSA-graded copies return a 10, and only 13.8% come back grade 6 or below. No rung of the ladder clears the fee, so its position here is a ceiling, not a plan.

No rung of the ladder clears the fee, so its position here is a ceiling, not a plan. The Shadowless census is thin — 303 PSA-graded copies — so a grading decision here moves the population, and the population moves the price.

Raw copies cost $2.28 and a PSA 10 has sold for $214.54 — +$152 over the cost of buying one raw and grading it. Every grade below a 10 loses money at today's prices (−$45 at a 7, −$42 at an 8, −$17 at a 9), so the whole case rests on the gem.

Shadowless is the printing between 1st Edition and Unlimited — the 1999 artwork with thinner borders and no drop shadow under the frame, but no 1st Edition stamp. Raw copies run about $2, so grading one leaves roughly +$95 at a PSA 10. The odds are unusually generous for a vintage card: 22.9% of PSA-graded copies return a 10, and only 12.5% come back grade 6 or below. No rung of the ladder clears the fee, so its position here is a ceiling, not a plan.

Raw copies cost $2.41 and a PSA 10 has sold for $187.75 — +$125 over the cost of buying one raw and grading it. Every grade below a 10 loses money at today's prices (−$50 at a 7, −$47 at an 8, −$16 at a 9), so the whole case rests on the gem. 96.2% of graded copies reach a PSA 7 or better and 39.4% come back a 10.

The odds are unusually generous for a vintage card: 26.1% of PSA-graded copies return a 10, and only 9.7% come back grade 6 or below. It only turns a profit from PSA 9 upward, so the 10 is where it actually pays. The Shadowless census is thin — 341 PSA-graded copies — so a grading decision here moves the population, and the population moves the price.

Shadowless is the printing between 1st Edition and Unlimited — the 1999 artwork with thinner borders and no drop shadow under the frame, but no 1st Edition stamp. Raw copies run about $2, so grading one leaves roughly +$101 at a PSA 10. The odds are unusually generous for a vintage card: 27.9% of PSA-graded copies return a 10, and only 10.8% come back grade 6 or below.

Shadowless is the printing between 1st Edition and Unlimited — the 1999 artwork with thinner borders and no drop shadow under the frame, but no 1st Edition stamp. Raw copies run about $2, so grading one leaves roughly +$70 at a PSA 10. The odds are unusually generous for a vintage card: 20.2% of PSA-graded copies return a 10, and only 10.4% come back grade 6 or below. No rung of the ladder clears the fee, so its position here is a ceiling, not a plan.

Raw copies cost $2.15 and a PSA 10 has sold for $129.38 — +$67 over the cost of buying one raw and grading it. Every grade below a 10 loses money at today's prices (+$0 at a 7, −$37 at an 8, −$30 at a 9), so the whole case rests on the gem. PriceCharting records no PSA census for this printing, so there are no odds to quote — the figure above comes from its sold-comp data alone.

Shadowless is the printing between 1st Edition and Unlimited — the 1999 artwork with thinner borders and no drop shadow under the frame, but no 1st Edition stamp. Raw copies run about $2, so grading one leaves roughly +$68 at a PSA 10. The odds are unusually generous for a vintage card: 32.2% of PSA-graded copies return a 10, and only 7.4% come back grade 6 or below. No rung of the ladder clears the fee, so its position here is a ceiling, not a plan.

Shadowless is the printing between 1st Edition and Unlimited — the 1999 artwork with thinner borders and no drop shadow under the frame, but no 1st Edition stamp. Raw copies run about $2, so grading one leaves roughly +$39 at a PSA 10. The odds are unusually generous for a vintage card: 37.5% of PSA-graded copies return a 10, and only 5.6% come back grade 6 or below. No rung of the ladder clears the fee, so its position here is a ceiling, not a plan.

Every grade below a 10 loses money at today's prices (+$0 at a 7, −$43 at an 8, −$24 at a 9), so the whole case rests on the gem. 99.1% of graded copies reach a PSA 7 or better and 52.3% come back a 10. PSA has recorded 111 copies of this printing.

Shadowless is the printing between 1st Edition and Unlimited — the 1999 artwork with thinner borders and no drop shadow under the frame, but no 1st Edition stamp. Raw copies run about $2, so grading one leaves roughly +$30 at a PSA 10. The odds are unusually generous for a vintage card: 25.1% of PSA-graded copies return a 10, and only 8.8% come back grade 6 or below. No rung of the ladder clears the fee, so its position here is a ceiling, not a plan.

Raw copies cost $0.99 and a PSA 10 has sold for $84.00 — +$23 over the cost of buying one raw and grading it. Every grade below a 10 loses money at today's prices (−$50 at a 7, −$47 at an 8, −$32 at a 9), so the whole case rests on the gem. 94.3% of graded copies reach a PSA 7 or better and 31.1% come back a 10. PSA has recorded 1,240 copies of this printing.

Shadowless is the printing between 1st Edition and Unlimited — the 1999 artwork with thinner borders and no drop shadow under the frame, but no 1st Edition stamp. Raw copies run about $2, so grading one leaves roughly +$17 at a PSA 10. The odds are unusually generous for a vintage card: 33.4% of PSA-graded copies return a 10, and only 5.4% come back grade 6 or below. No rung of the ladder clears the fee, so its position here is a ceiling, not a plan.

Shadowless is the printing between 1st Edition and Unlimited — the 1999 artwork with thinner borders and no drop shadow under the frame, but no 1st Edition stamp. Raw copies run about $2, so grading one leaves roughly +$6 at a PSA 10. The odds are unusually generous for a vintage card: 30.2% of PSA-graded copies return a 10, and only 8.0% come back grade 6 or below. No rung of the ladder clears the fee, so its position here is a ceiling, not a plan.

Raw copies cost $1.31 and a PSA 10 has sold for $68.00 — +$7 over the cost of buying one raw and grading it. Every grade below a 10 loses money at today's prices (−$42 at a 7, −$30 at an 8, −$25 at a 9), so the whole case rests on the gem. 93.9% of graded copies reach a PSA 7 or better and 28.3% come back a 10. PSA has recorded 875 copies of this printing.

The odds are unusually generous for a vintage card: 35.1% of PSA-graded copies return a 10, and only 6.4% come back grade 6 or below.

How to read this list — and why I built it this way

The ranking is by potential value — a card’s PSA 10 price minus what it costs to buy it raw and grade it. That is the size of the best-case prize, and it is deliberately simple. Set a price range and the list re-reads for your budget, so you are comparing the cards you could actually buy against each other instead of against the biggest card in the era.

Then read the odds. Every card shows its real chance of each grade, drawn from its own population rather than a rule of thumb, beside the profit at that grade. They will not sum to 100%: the rest of a card’s graded population sits at grade 6 or below, and that line is shown too, because a card that often lands there is a different proposition from one that does not. Read the two together — a large prize with poor odds is a lottery ticket, a smaller prize with good odds is a decision. Judging population and price side by side, on the cards your budget actually reaches, is how you work out what is worth chasing and what you want to collect.

ⓘ The method, stated plainly
Cost basis = raw NM price + $59.99 PSA fee. That is PSA's Standard tier, currently the lowest you can actually buy — the cheaper Value and Value Bulk tiers are paused as of September 2026. Shipping and insurance are excluded so the comparison stays consistent card to card; add your own for a specific copy. The ladder is PSA only: raw plus PSA 7, 8, 9 and 10. PSA does not issue half grades, so any 9.5 figure is BGS or CGC data and is left out. Population and grade odds are PSA population only — CGC copies are excluded, so every share on the page uses one denominator. Figures are occasionally rounded and may not total exactly.

Why potential value, and not a single blended return figure. A blended number hides both the size of the prize and the risk in it, so every card shows the odds of each grade right beside the profit at that grade, and you weigh the prize against the likelihood yourself. The population basis is PSA only for the same reason: one denominator, measured the same way on every card. CGC and BGS figures are real, but mixing three grading companies into one share makes the odds mean less. Shipping and insurance are excluded from the cost basis on purpose — they vary by where you live and how many cards you send, and consistency matters more here than completeness.

There is one catch, and it is the whole game: condition. To use this list well you have to be able to look at a raw card and estimate, roughly, what it would grade — and understand why graders penalize what they penalize. A card bought at a PSA 9 price in PSA 6 condition is a loss no matter how good its rank looks here. If that skill is new to you, the grading ROI guide covers the cost math and the pre-screen check; a dedicated condition guide is coming.

This is my perspective as a collector, not a promise of returns. Every figure on the page is a decision input, not a forecast.
