Where the Lapras 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 13 of 50 Lapras cards hold 81% of the $637 total. The remaining 37 share what is left, which is why a “complete Lapras collection” in the collection tracker costs far less than the headline suggests until you reach the top row.
- Ruby & Sapphire · 1 card$165
- Southern Islands · 1 card$94
- Legend Maker · 1 card$51
- Sun & Moon · 3 cards$36
- Sword & Shield · 5 cards$34
- Fossil · 2 cards$33

one card, near-zero raw
This is the median, not the average. Averaging the ratios gives 88.2×, which only 13 of 47 cards (28%) 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.

1 year is withheld: the weighted index and the basket total disagree over that window, which means the index was re-based rather than the cards re-priced. A number we cannot stand behind is worse than no number.
Strongest Lapras grading opportunities
Ranked by expected net — every grade weighted by how often this card actually earns it (the gem rate beside each card is its PSA 10 share). Best case is the PSA 10 outcome, which is why it is the larger number and the one to trust least.

Collecting Lapras cards
Lapras has been printed in every era of the game, from 1999 (Fossil) to 2026 (30th Celebration). The Current (2020–) era holds the most printings, 25 of the 50. The value sits elsewhere: the Vintage (1999–2003) era's 5 cards are worth $319, 50% of the total, against $144 for the Current (2020–) printings.
Most Lapras cards are cheap to own: 26 of the 50 priced cards sit under $5 raw, the cheapest being the Lapras, and the median card is worth about $4.31. 3 are worth $50 or more. A set-by-set Lapras collection is a small-dollar exercise until the last handful, which is where 49% of the total on this page comes from.
By rarity the printings split into 15 tiers, led by Rare (9), Uncommon (8) and Common (6). 47 of the 50 cards carry a PSA 10 price, the figure the grading section uses; those cards are worth about $5.52 raw at the median, against $1.72 for the 3 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 Lapras 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.
