Where the Inkay money is
Value is not spread evenly across the printings — the ranking below is by total tracked value, not by card count, the same measure as the most valuable Pokémon cards.
The top 6 of 18 Inkay cards hold 81% of the $9 total. The remaining 12 share what is left, which is why a “complete Inkay collection” in the collection tracker costs far less than the headline suggests until you reach the top row.

one card, near-zero raw
This is the median, not the average. Averaging the ratios gives 216×, which only 8 of 17 cards (47%) actually reach: a card worth a few cents raw with a three-figure slab produces a ratio in the hundreds and drags the mean above almost the whole set. The median is what a card in the middle really does, and it is the figure to take to the grading ROI calculator.

Collecting Inkay cards
Inkay printings span 2 eras, from 2013 (Kalos Starter Set) to 2026 (Pitch Black), and the Modern (2011–2019) era holds the most of them, 11 of the 18, and it holds the value too: $8, 90% of the total.
Most Inkay cards are cheap to own: 18 of the 18 priced cards sit under $5 raw, the cheapest being the Inkay, and the median card is worth about $0.16. None reaches $50, so the total above is spread thinly rather than stacked in one card.
By rarity the printings split into 3 tiers, led by Common (14), Rare Shiny (1) and Uncommon (1). 17 of the 18 cards carry a PSA 10 price, the figure the grading section uses; those cards are worth about $0.16 raw at the median, against $0.47 for the 1 with no gem-mint price on file.
The grid filters by set and rarity and sorts by value, era, the PSA 10 gap or the 30-day move, so the cheapest Inkay is one sort away (add the rarity filter for the cheapest holo); the by-set index above lists every card as text for when you know the number. Prices are CardTrack's blended raw value from real sold results, updated today.
Inkay card questions
How many Inkay cards are there?

What is the most valuable Inkay card?

How much is a complete Inkay collection worth?
All 18 tracked Inkay cards come to approximately $9 in raw near-mint condition. The value is concentrated: the top 6 cards alone account for 81% of it.
How much more is a graded Inkay card worth?
A typical Inkay card in PSA 10 sells for about 209× its raw price — that is the median across the 17 cards with both a raw and a PSA 10 price. Half fall between 135× and 268×, and the very cheapest cards can show far larger multiples simply because their raw price is near zero.
