Pokémon Center — Base Set 85
Market price
TCGplayer · snapshot Sep 24, 2026| Market (US) | Listings low–high | Europe avg | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal | $2.02 | $0.30 – $5.00 | €2.66 |
United States vs Europe
Same card, normal print, two marketplaces.
Europe is 50% more expensive than the US for this print. Before acting on that, count shipping across the Atlantic, customs on the way in, and the risk of a card travelling in an envelope.
Converted at the European Central Bank reference rate for 2026-09-23. Currency moves on its own — the gap shown here is the gap on that date.
Last 30 days
Cardmarket rolling averages for the normal print.
| Window | Average sale |
|---|---|
| Last 24 hours | €3.33 |
| Last 7 days | €2.72 |
| Last 30 days | €2.68 |
The 24-hour average has risen 24% against the 30-day average — €2.68 to €3.33. A single day is a thin sample; treat it as direction, not as a price.
About this card’s market
Copies on sale run from $0.30 to $5.00 — a 17× spread that comes from condition, not from the card. Read the listing before you read the price.
TCGplayer Direct has it at $0.85, below the market price — that is the cheapest verified-condition copy sitting in their warehouse right now.
In Europe the card has been climbing: the 24-hour average is 24% above the 30-day one.
It sits 56th of 101 priced cards in Base Set.
It is a Uncommon card, printed in 1999, illustrated by Keiji Kinebuchi.
It has been out of tournament play for two decades — what is left is collector demand.
