Let's look back on the most popular sets and expansion packs based on value and sales.
Since 1998, the Pokémon
Trading Card Game has captured the hearts of millions of collectors across the
globe. The sensational card game has produced over 10,000 cards over the last
two decades, with each expansion pack building on the existing iconography.
Some of the most memorable
sets included game-changing new cards that alter the mechanics – V cards, Tag Team variants, and Ex cards,
to name a few. For collectors who prize rarity above all, the promise of
exciting new chase cards build anticipation for each new TCG release.
Let’s take a look on some of
the best releases so far.
Unsurprisingly,
the First Edition Base Set is still considered to be the most valuable set in
the Pokémon TCG. A single Charizard or Mewtwo card from the Base Set can sell
for astonishing amounts.
While
newer sets may be flashier, cooler, and better produced, the Base Set will
always be the most iconic and important set in the Pokémon TCG. As the first
expansion set in the game, it helped launch the demand for Pokémon cards, which
has led to the explosion of the Pokémon franchise. It’s responsible for the
90’s Pokémon card craze and deserves its spot in the canon.
Titan Cards carries a variety of retro
Pokemon Cards from the original Base Set of the Pokemon TCG including common,
uncommon, rare and rare holo cards. Purchase them here.
- XY Roaring Skies
The
XY Roaring Skies expansion was first launched in May 2015 and has had
tremendous impact in the Pokémon TCG as a whole ever since. It’s the sixth
expansion pack for Pokémon XY one of the most powerful expansion packs during
its release, making it a highly-coveted gem in any player’s collection for its
Mega Evolution and EX cards.
Today,
its high-rarity cards can fetch a significant amount. The Shaymin-EX, for
instance, is valued at $121 when graded at a 10. It’s also one of the strongest
cards in-game, with high splashability that made it a staple in almost any
deck.
The
Rayquaza Ex 105 Full Art variant, currently valued at around $62, continues to
be a coveted card alongside the powerful VS Seeker, Ultra Ball, and Trainer's
Mail.

including Ultra Rare, Full Art and Secret Rare cards here. We also offer online booster codes for TCG
Live.
- Black & White
Legendary Treasures
The
Legendary Treasures expansion is the final expansion of the Black & White
series. It was released in 2013 and featured 13 Pokémon-EX cards, including
some from the Radiant Collection. The set also had plenty of visually stunning
holographic cards, making it a great choice for collectors. Although it’s by no
means the rarest set in the entirety of the Pokémon TCG, the fact that it never
had any attached Theme Decks means it’s hard to come by today.
The
set also introduced three new Full Art cards, namely the Chandelure EX and
Excadrill EX which were illustrated by Ryo Ueda, and Meloetta EX, illustrated
by Eske Yoshinob.
At Titan Cards, we carry a variety of
Pokemon Card Singles from Black & White: Legendary
Treasures including
common, uncommon, rare, rare holo and EX Pokemon Cards. We also offer Legendary Treasures online
booster codes for
Pokemon Live.
- Skyridge
We
can't make this list without mentioning Skyridge, the iconic one-print Pokémon
Trading Card Game set that was released in May 2003. This set is home to some
of the most valuable cards in the entire Pokémon TCG, including the Crystal
Charizard, Ho-Oh, Gengar, and Celebi. In mint or near-mint condition, these
cards can sell for over $1,000 each.
The
cards in the set are beautifully designed, with some of the best artwork in the
Pokémon TCG. Plus, the set is relatively old, being out of print for almost 20
years. This makes the cards even more rare and valuable.

Skyridge set here, including common, uncommon, rare and rare
holo cards.
