The Pokémon card market cap

Every graded Pokémon card we can identify, at today's price for its grade, comes to $10.67B: $10.28B in PSA slabs, $247M in CGC and $137M in Beckett. That is 30.7M slabs we can price, out of 42.5M the three have graded. The rest are counted below rather than estimated.

Method note, 23 October 2026: the headline now counts CGC and Beckett slabs beside PSA's, and PSA counts come from GemRate's daily reading of PSA's report where it has one (26,431 entries, 18.1M slabs, read 13 October 2026 to 23 October 2026; the rest keep our crawl of 28 September 2026). Neither change moved the two history lines, which keep their English PSA 8–10 basis, and the 30-day figure is on that basis too. A change of method is never a market move.

By grader

Grader	Value	Share	Slabs	Slabs priced
PSA	$10.28B	96.4%	36.5M	74.5%
CGC	$247M	2.3%	5.4M	59.2%
Beckett (BGS)	$137M	1.3%	0.5M	51.5%
SGC · beside the headline	$6.8M	—	0.2M	41.9%
TAG · beside the headline	$40.7M	—	0.4M	58.6%

A CGC or Beckett slab is valued at that grader's own price for the grade, never at PSA's. Their populations are GemRate's counts of the same card and printing as each PSA entry, English and Japanese. SGC and TAG join to too few prices to carry, so they sit beside the headline with their coverage stated.

How it has moved · today's population at each day's prices

This line holds today's population fixed and moves only with prices. It covers English PSA 8–10 slabs, $7.50B of the $10.67B headline (70.3%): those are the cards and grades with a price history. Japanese cards, CGC and Beckett have none yet. The same slabs were worth $1.13B at 1 January 2022, $3.04B a year ago, $6.35B thirty days ago and $7.50B on 24 October 2026. A card released since then counts from its first price. Not every card already out had a price at the start: 93.3% of their value was priced then, and 100% is now. The line starts in 2022 because before that the share was under three quarters, and the line would have climbed on coverage rather than prices. Read as a price index instead, chain-linked over the slabs priced at both ends of each step so a new set never counts as a move, the same market is up 124% since 1 January 2022; that index sits beside the CardTrack 100 on the index page.

Week by week · each week's population at that week's prices

This line also grows as new slabs are graded. From 24 July 2026 to 19 October 2026 it went from $5.13B to $7.31B (+42.6%); prices alone, on today's population, moved +33.6% over the same weeks, and the rest is newly graded slabs. It starts when our weekly crawl of PSA's population report began.

Charizard alone is 15.0% of the graded market, across 156cards. The 30-day column is the history's basis (English PSA 8–10 slabs at today's population, prices only), so a Pokémon whose value is mostly Japanese or in lower grades shows a change on a smaller part of its cap.

A card's market cap is every slab of it we can price, at every grader and grade, all printings together: for Charizard that is 135,089 slabs, the biggest single line being PSA 10 at 123 copies × $343,098. Each card page carries its own figure under Population.

By grade · PSA

Grade	Value	Share of PSA
PSA 10	$6.57B	63.9%
PSA 9	$2.21B	21.5%
PSA 8 and 8.5	$814M	7.9%
PSA 7 and 7.5	$340M	3.3%
PSA 6.5 and below	$347M	3.4%

PSA 10s carry 63.9% of PSA's value. A gem-mint grade is where most of a card's graded price sits, and the PSA 10 premium index measures how big that gap is. The PSA population report has the counts behind these numbers.

Two kinds of card lead. Modern chase cards graded in the tens of thousands, like Pikachu with Grey Felt Hat, sit next to vintage cards with a few hundred slabs at six-figure prices. A 1st Edition printing is valued at its own price, not the unlimited card's: Charizard 1st Edition in PSA 10 is 123 slabs at $343,098.

What is not counted

Reason	PSA slabs	CGC slabs	BGS slabs
Not matched to a card we price (other languages, sets we do not catalogue)	4.5M	—	—
A printing with no price of its own (stamped, staff, prerelease, Japanese 1st Edition; for CGC and BGS also 1st Edition, Shadowless and reverse holo)	2.4M	0.8M	82,360
A grade with no price for that card	2.4M	1.4M	0.2M
Authentic and altered labels, with no grade	—	55,501	—
Priced under $1	1,331	—	—

None of these are estimated. A price borrowed from a neighbouring grade or a similar card would make the number bigger but not truer, so the 11.8M slabs here stay out until they have a price of their own. CGC and Beckett counts exist only for the cards GemRate has read, so a card outside those has no CGC or Beckett line rather than a zero.

FAQ

What is the Pokémon card market cap?

It is the value of every graded Pokémon card we can identify in PSA's, CGC's and Beckett's populations at today's price for its grade: $10.67B as of 24 October 2026, across 30.7M slabs we can price. It counts graded slabs only, not raw cards or sealed product, so it is a floor for the market rather than all of it.

How is it calculated?

For each card, printing, grader and grade, the population (how many slabs exist) times our price for that grader's grade. The card's own printing uses its published graded price. Another PSA printing of it (1st Edition, Shadowless, reverse holo) uses that printing's own price history. A grade with no price is left out and counted, never estimated.

Where do the population counts come from?

PSA's population report, each entry matched to a card and printing. GemRate reads the same entries daily and carries CGC's and Beckett's counts for the same card and printing: 26,431 entries (18.1M PSA slabs) are on GemRate's reading of 23 October 2026; the rest keep our own crawl of 28 September 2026. We publish the values, not the raw counts.

Why is it lower than other market-cap figures?

Because a slab with no price is left out rather than estimated: 11.8M of the 42.5M slabs carry no price we can stand behind (another language, a stamped or staff printing, or a grade with no sales). Other figures fill those in from neighbouring grades or similar cards; this one shows what it leaves out.

Why are SGC and TAG not in the headline?

Their populations join to far fewer prices: we can price 53.7% of their slabs against 72.3% of the headline's. They are listed beside it with that coverage stated, so the two can be added if you want a wider figure.

Why are there two history lines?

The first holds today's population fixed and moves only with prices, back to 2022: it answers what today's graded supply would have been worth then. The second values each week's actual population at that week's prices, so it also rises as new slabs are graded. Both cover English PSA 8, 9 and 10 slabs, the grades with both a price history and a weekly population history, and that did not change when CGC and BGS joined the headline on 23 October 2026.

How is a Pokémon's market cap counted?

Every valued slab of every card of that Pokémon, English and Japanese, by its National Dex number. A card shows one Pokémon in our catalogue, so a tag-team card counts toward the first Pokémon named on it.

Method: PSA's population report lists each card by set, number, name and variety. Each entry is matched to a card in our English or Japanese catalogue and to its printing. Sets are matched by how many of their cards agree on number and name, within a year of release. GemRate reads the same entries daily, and its reading carries CGC's and Beckett's counts of the same card and printing; where GemRate has read an entry its counts are used, otherwise our own weekly crawl's. The count at each grader's grade is multiplied by that card's published price for that grader and grade, or, for a PSA 1st Edition, Shadowless, reverse-holo or holo printing, by that printing's own price history. Prices are the same ones the card pages show, restated across changes in our pricing method so a change of method never reads as a market move. Per-card and per-Pokémon figures sum the same lines; a Pokémon is the card's National Dex number. Both history lines and the 30-day change stay on English PSA 8–10 slabs at today's population, and are recomputed in full every night. Population counts are published as values, not as counts. Market measures, not investment advice.
