Alakazam · 29 cards · 1999–2025
How much is an Alakazam card worth?
Ungraded, Alakazam cards run from under $1 to $1,400 on PriceCharting. Across the 32 priced Alakazam cards on this page (a 1st Edition or Shadowless printing counts as its own card), the middle one is about $29 ungraded; 9 are $100 or more and 7 are under $5. The dearest is Alakazam ★ (Gold Star), Crystal Guardians #99 at about $1,400 ungraded and $16,122 in a PSA 10.Prices from PriceCharting, pulled 8 September to 16 October 2026.
There are 29 English Alakazam cards, spread over 19 sets between 1999 and 2025. The first was Alakazam in Base Set, 9 January 1999, drawn by Ken Sugimori in the very first English sets. 5 of them come from 1999–2000, and those trade in a different world from everything printed since — which is why one number for “Alakazam” means nothing until you know which of the 29 you are holding.
Condition decides most of it. The figures above are for ungraded cards. The same card graded is a different market entirely — the dearest Alakazam here reaches $16,740 in a PSA 10 slab. A PSA 10 is a flawless grade and it is the exception, not what to expect of a card that has been in a binder — on this page a PSA 10 is a median 27 times the same card ungraded. Every card below shows both ends, raw and graded, so you can see which band yours could sit in.
What we pay is a different number again. These are what collectors pay each other. A buyer pays less than that, because a buyer takes on the waiting, the fees and the risk — which is why you get our number on the phone, in one call, before anything is posted.
Spaced by ratio, not by dollars, so the cheap end stays readable. Tap a handle to jump to that card. 2 of the 29 Alakazam cards have no price on file. Prices from PriceCharting, pulled 8 September to 16 October 2026.

Figures marked est. sit at a fixed multiple of another grade for the same card on PriceCharting — for example SGC 10 at 0.6 times the PSA 10 — so treat them as approximate, not as a separate run of sales. PriceCharting’s Grade 9 is a PSA or BGS 9; its Grade 9.5 is a BGS 9.5.
Every one of them, with a picture
All 29 English Alakazam cards, oldest first.
The set name and the number at the bottom of the card are what tell one Alakazam from the other 28 — there are 3 different cards called “Alakazam-EX” in Fates Collide alone. Each one shows both ends — what it trades for ungraded, and what it reaches in a PSA 10 slab. Tap a card for the grades in between and what to read down the phone. The 4 Alakazam cards from 1st Edition era sets list each printing on its own row — 1st Edition, Shadowless where Base Set had one, and Unlimited — and the picture on those tiles is the 1st Edition.

What decides the number
Five things about your Alakazam, in order of how much they matter.
- Which printing. Alakazam spans 19 sets, from Base Set in 1999 to Mega Evolution in 2025, and the set symbol beside the picture is what tells one from another before anything else about the card is worth discussing.
- First edition and shadowless. 4 of the 29 come from sets printed in a 1st Edition run, and on an Alakazam of that age the small “1 Edition” stamp left of the art, or a Base Set frame throwing no drop shadow down the right of the picture, changes the price, often several times over. On PriceCharting the 1st Edition Alakazam from Base Set is about $681 ungraded against $40 for the Unlimited one, 17 times as much.
- Which card type. An Alakazam ex and an Alakazam EX are different cards that happen to share a name — Alakazam has been printed as 10 types in all, so the word beside Alakazam at the top decides which of the 29 you own.
- Promo stamps. 2 of the 29 Alakazam cards were promos rather than pack pulls, and a black star, a tournament stamp or a set-launch mark in the corner is what separates one Alakazam promo from another with the same picture.
- The Gold Star one. 1 Alakazam card carries the Gold Star treatment — if the symbol ★ sits after Alakazam on your card, that is the first thing to tell us.
- The commonest rarity among Alakazam cards is Rare Holo — 8 of the 29.
- Ken Sugimori has illustrated Alakazam more than anyone else, 6 times.
- Fates Collide carries the most Alakazam cards of any single set (5).
- Alakazam has been printed under 10 card types: ex (modern), EX, Dark, Mega EX, V, owner’s card, Gold Star, SP, LV.X, Radiant.
- No English Alakazam card of any kind was printed in the 6 years between 2009 and 2016.
- 5 of the 29 Alakazam cards come from 1999–2000, the printings collectors ask after most.
- 14 different illustrators have drawn Alakazam.
- 26 years separate the first Alakazam card from the newest.
