Where the Persian 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 36 Persian cards hold 80% of the $622 total. The remaining 30 share what is left, which is why a “complete Persian collection” in the collection tracker costs far less than the headline suggests until you reach the top row.

This is the median, not the average. Averaging the ratios gives 96.2×, which only 11 of 30 cards (37%) 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.

Strongest Persian 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 Persian cards

Persian has been printed in every era of the game, from 1999 (Wizards Black Star Promos) to 2025 (Destined Rivals). The Modern (2011–2019) era holds the most printings, 16 of the 36. The value sits elsewhere: the Vintage (1999–2003) era's 7 cards are worth $249, 40% of the total, against $100 for the Modern (2011–2019) printings.

Most Persian cards are cheap to own: 23 of the 36 priced cards sit under $5 raw, the cheapest being the Persian, and the median card is worth about $2.98. 4 are worth $50 or more. A set-by-set Persian collection is a small-dollar exercise until the last handful, which is where 69% of the total on this page comes from.

By rarity the printings split into 12 tiers, led by Uncommon (14), Rare (5) and Promo (3). 30 of the 36 cards carry a PSA 10 price, the figure the grading section uses; those cards are worth about $2.90 raw at the median, against $2.98 for the 6 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 Persian 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.
