Articuno · 40 cards · 1999–2025

How much is an Articuno card worth?

Ungraded, Articuno cards run from under $1 to $493 on PriceCharting. Across the 42 priced Articuno cards on this page (a 1st Edition or Shadowless printing counts as its own card), the middle one is about $16 ungraded; 7 are $100 or more and 10 are under $5. The dearest is Articuno, Skyridge #H3 at about $493 ungraded and $9,279 in a PSA 10.Prices from PriceCharting, pulled 8 September to 16 October 2026.

Counting cards that name it first, there are 40 English Articuno cards, spread over 28 sets between 1999 and 2025. It did not debut in a booster pack at all: the first was Articuno in Wizards Black Star Promos, 1 July 1999, handed out during the very first English sets. 4 of them come from 1999–2000, and those trade in a different world from everything printed since — which is why one number for “Articuno” means nothing until you know which of the 40 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 Articuno here reaches $12,399 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 29 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. Prices from PriceCharting, pulled 8 September to 16 October 2026.

Every one of them, with a picture

40 English Articuno cards, oldest first.

The set name and the number at the bottom of the card are what tell one Articuno from the other 39 — there are 3 different cards called “Articuno-GX” in Celestial Storm 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 2 Articuno 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. Not counted here: Articuno is also named on “Moltres & Zapdos & Articuno-GX” (4 printings), filed with the Moltres page.

What decides the number

Five things about your Articuno, in order of how much they matter.

  1. Which printing. Articuno spans 28 sets, from Wizards Black Star Promos in 1999 to Destined Rivals in 2025, and the set symbol beside the picture is what tells one from another before anything else about the card is worth discussing.
  2. First edition. 2 of the 40 come from sets printed in a 1st Edition run, and on an Articuno of that age the small “1 Edition” stamp left of the art changes the price, often several times over. On PriceCharting the 1st Edition Articuno from Fossil is about $124 ungraded against $25 for the Unlimited one, 5 times as much.
  3. Which card type. An Articuno V and an Articuno GX are different cards that happen to share a name — Articuno has been printed as 5 types in all, so the word beside Articuno at the top decides which of the 40 you own.
  4. Promo stamps. 6 of the 40 Articuno 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 Articuno promo from another with the same picture.
  5. Centering. Hold your Articuno at arm’s length and look at the border: a Articuno with a visibly fatter margin on one side is capped on grade before condition is even discussed, and with 3 of the 40 from Celestial Storm alone, that is the set to check most carefully.
  • The commonest rarity among Articuno cards is Rare Holo — 11 of the 40.
  • 5ban Graphics has illustrated Articuno more than anyone else, 8 times.
  • Celestial Storm carries the most Articuno cards of any single set (3).
  • Articuno has been printed under 5 card types: V, GX, ex (2003–07), EX, owner’s card.
  • 4 of the 40 Articuno cards come from 1999–2000, the printings collectors ask after most.
  • 20 different illustrators have drawn Articuno.
  • 26 years separate the first Articuno card from the newest.

Want to sell your Articuno? Whether it is Articuno, Skyridge #H3 or one of the other 39, you get a price on the phone from the person who buys it. If your Articuno is one card in a binder of them, how to sell a Pokémon card collection walks through the call, the shipping and the filmed offer. Already slabbed? Here is how selling a graded Articuno card works.

If the card in front of you turns out not to be an Articuno, the other two legendary birds have pages of their own: Zapdos (45 cards) and Moltres (42 cards).
