Japanese Trainers Magazine Promos Darkness Energy Magazine: Prices by Grade
Japanese Trainers Magazine Promos (1999) · Magazine
Prices for this printing
Each row opens to its sales — dated, venue-labelled, linked where the listing still exists. Raw is our own estimate: the average of the five highest ungraded sales in the last three months, priced from eBay completed listings only — graded slabs from other companies, multi-card lots and reprints are filtered out, and the table under it lists exactly those five with the date each one sold. Vintage raw sales are dominated by played copies, while the near-mint copies people actually grade are the expensive ones. Each graded row averages the sales listed under it. PSA and CGC are priced separately and never averaged together. Every block names the sales it rests on.

Sources, named per row. Graded PSA rows come from PriceCharting's PSA grade bands — the grader is named in the seller's own listing title, so each row is one sold listing with its date and link, and two kinds of record are left out: sales far below the card's own auction level (counterfeit slabs and mis-listed items carry copied cert numbers, which is how a real PSA 10 Charizard cert appears at $36) and ended fixed-price listings, which are not confirmed sales. Every row links to its own sold listing. Ungraded and CGC rows come from eBay completed listings via PriceCharting: the seller's own title is what removed the other companies' slabs, the multi-card lots and the reprints, and each row links to the eBay item — eBay retires item pages after a few months, so an older row may no longer open.
Both are live searches for this printing, not listings — the prices above are sold comps, and asking prices will differ. eBay links are affiliate links (eBay Partner Network); we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
Printing
Japanese Trainers Magazine Promos are magazine inserts, not a set: one printing each, no 1st Edition and no Unlimited run. This card is Magazine.

Machine-compiled card record. These inserts print no collector number, so the number shown is the Pokedex number the price source files the card by. Prices are PriceCharting sold comps (November 7, 2026) with PSA and CGC kept separate. Dark Venusaur and Dark Ivysaur from this same magazine run are on the Game Boy page because they carry the GB symbol; Pikachu, Smeargle and Unown have no price-source listing and therefore no page.
