The 100 Most Expensive "Bulk" Pokémon Cards Right Now - 07/29/25
By Peter Day •
If you judge Pokémon cards just by their rarity, you might miss out on the Rare, Uncommon, and Common cards that are worth real money on the secondary market. To help you filter out the diamonds from the rough, we’ve put together a downloadable CSV report of the most expensive “bulk” Pokémon cards currently in print.
This report shows the 100 Rare, Uncommon, and Common-rarity Pokémon cards from the Scarlet & Violet Series with the highest Market Price as of July 27, 2025. The report only considers Near Mint copies. Reverse Holo printings and normal printings are treated as separate cards.
Poké Ball Pattern and Master Ball Pattern cards from Prismatic Evolutions, Black Bolt, and White Flare were excluded from the report. Otherwise, they would have been the entire list. Don’t neglect those cards either!
Here are the top 10 cards from the report.
#1 Night Stretcher
Set: Shrouded Fable
Printing: Reverse Holo
Market Price: $4.51
Night Stretcher has the fewest printings of any highly played Item card in Standard, appearing only in a single set (Shrouded Fable) at its base rarity.
#2 Night Stretcher
Set: Shrouded Fable
Printing: Normal
Market Price: $4.49
At around $4.50 for either the normal or Reverse Holo version, whichever printing of Night Stretcher you have, it’s worth separating from the true bulk. These are more valuable than plenty of never-played Double Rares.
#3 Arven
Set: Obsidian Flames
Printing: Normal
Market Price: $4.18
Arven belongs to the same class of generically useful Supporter cards as Professor’s Research and Boss’s Orders. Unlike those cards however, it’s only been printed at base rarity in two sets (Scarlet & Violet Base Set and Obsidian Flames), so even the non-Reverse Holo versions are remarkably valuable.
#4 Arven
Set: Obsidian Flames
Printing: Reverse Holo
Market Price: $3.52
The Reverse Holos are also in demand among players who want something a little nicer than the base version but aren’t ready to grab a full playset of one of the Ultra Rare or Special Illustration Rare versions.
#5 Hilda
Set: White Flare
Printing: Reverse Holo
Market Price: $3.38
The newest widely played card-selection Supporter, Hilda has only been printed in White Flare. Given how expensive packs of this Special Set continue to be, it’s not surprising that this is the most valuable card in either Black Bolt or White Flare with a rarity below Double Rare (ignoring Poké and Master Ball printings).
#6 Hilda
Set: White Flare
Printing: Normal
Market Price: $3.27
That goes for the normal printing as well as the Reverse Holo version.
#7 Basic Fighting Energy
Set: Scarlet & Violet Base Set
Printing: Foil
Market Price: $3.12
Some of the Basic Energy cards in Black Bolt and White Flare have a special horizontal line foil pattern like the one featured during the Black & White Series. These cards are worth significantly more than the normal “SVE” Energy cards, so keep them separate!
#8 Arven - 166/198
Set: Scarlet & Violet Base Set
Printing: Normal
Market Price: $2.88
The first printing of Arven is in just as much demand as the Obsidian Flame printing.
#9 Basic Darkness Energy (Cracked Ice Holo)
Set: Stellar Crown
Printing: Foil
Market Price: $2.80
The Cracked Ice holo Basic Energy cards are also worth separating from your normal “SVE” Energy cards.
#10 Arven - 166/198
Set: Scarlet & Violet Base Set
Printing: Reverse Holo
Market Price: $2.59
Reverse Holo or no, Arven is Arven. If it doesn’t get a reprint, Arven will rotate out of the Standard format in April of 2026, so be sure to sell your copies while they’re still seeing play.
