Card price and rarity glossary

Plain definitions of the price figures, variants, rarities and card details shown across Dexicards.

Last updated October 13, 2026

1.Price terms

The figures on card, set and price-ranking pages, named as the site labels them. Cardmarket and TCGplayer figures are never blended into one price. See How prices work.

30-day avg: The average Cardmarket price of a variant over the last 30 days, in euros, published for Pokémon cards only. On narrow phone screens this column is hidden to make room.
High: TCGplayer’s high price for a variant, in US dollars, published for Pokémon cards only. On narrow phone screens this column is hidden to make room.
Low: TCGplayer’s or Cardmarket’s low price for a variant, in that market’s currency. Published for Pokémon cards only.
Market: The headline price of a variant, in its market’s currency. For Pokémon it is TCGplayer’s market price in US dollars and Cardmarket’s average price in euros; for the other games it is the single TCGplayer and Cardmarket price available for that variant. It is the large figure at the top of a card page and the first column of each price table.
Mid: TCGplayer’s mid price for a variant, in US dollars. Published for Pokémon cards only.
Price movers: The cards whose market price rose or fell the most over the last 7 days, and over 30 days where enough history exists, ranked by percentage change on each market separately. Each game has a price-movers page, which lists only variants priced at least $5.00 or €5.00 at both ends of the period.
Prices as of: The newest day a price was recorded for the card, shown on each card page that has a price. Prices refresh every day at 03:00 UTC.
Set value: The sum of each card’s lowest market price in a set, counting one copy of every card, shown separately for TCGplayer and Cardmarket. Cards with no price on that market are left out, and the set page says how many cards were counted.
Trend: Cardmarket’s trend price for a variant, in euros. Published for Pokémon cards only.

2.Variants and finishes

Each finish of a card is priced separately. These are the variant names Dexicards uses in its price tables.

1st Edition: A Pokémon printing marked with the 1st Edition stamp, from the first print run of early sets such as Base Set. TCGplayer prices it apart from the Unlimited printing.
1st Edition Holo: The holofoil version of a 1st Edition Pokémon printing, priced on TCGplayer.
Etched Foil: A Magic: The Gathering foil treatment, also called foil-etched, with a textured metallic finish that is less glossy than a standard foil.
Foil: The foil printing of a Magic: The Gathering or Disney Lorcana card, priced apart from the non-foil Normal printing.
Holofoil: The holographic version of a Pokémon card as TCGplayer lists it, usually with foil artwork.
Master Ball: A Pokémon reverse holo whose foil carries a Master Ball pattern, rarer than the Poké Ball version in the same sets. TCGplayer prices it as its own variant.
Normal: The card’s standard printing, without a special finish. For One Piece and Yu-Gi-Oh!, whose price data has no finish split, Normal is the only variant and covers the card as printed.
Poké Ball: A Pokémon reverse holo whose foil carries a Poké Ball pattern, found in some Scarlet & Violet era sets such as Prismatic Evolutions. TCGplayer prices it as its own variant.
Reverse Holo: A Pokémon finish in which the card is foil everywhere except the artwork. Both Cardmarket and TCGplayer price it.
Unlimited: A Pokémon printing from the later, unstamped print run of a set that also had a 1st Edition run, priced on TCGplayer.
Unlimited Holo: The holofoil version of an Unlimited Pokémon printing, priced on TCGplayer.
Variant: One finish of a card, such as Normal or Reverse Holo, with its own price. Cardmarket and TCGplayer name finishes differently, so a variant can have a price on one market and none on the other.

3.Rarities by game

Rarity names appear exactly as the card data spells them, so one game can have an older and a newer name for similar rarities. Labels used by very few cards are left out.

4.Card identity

The details that tell one printing of a card from another.

Card number: The collector number printed on the card. In many sets it reads like 060/182, where the second part is the number of cards in the set.
Illustrator: The artist credited for a card’s artwork. Where the card data names one, Dexicards links to a page of that illustrator’s cards.
Legal formats: The tournament formats in which a card may be played, shown on the card page as Legal in. Formats in which a card is banned or restricted are listed with that status.
Printing: One release of a card in a specific set, with its own number, rarity and prices. A popular card is often reprinted in many sets, so one card name can have many printings, each with its own page. Yu-Gi-Oh! is the exception: each card has one page and one price covering all its printings, which that page lists.
Regulation mark: A letter printed on Pokémon cards since the Sword & Shield era that sets which cards are allowed in the Standard format. Dexicards shows it on the card page as Regulation.
Series: A group of related sets. How sets are grouped depends on the game: Pokémon groups them by era, such as Scarlet & Violet, and Dexicards groups Yu-Gi-Oh! sets by release year.
Set: A release of cards sold together under one name, such as a booster expansion. Every set on Dexicards has its own page listing its cards.
Set code: The short abbreviation that identifies a set, such as LC06 for the Yu-Gi-Oh! set Legendary Collection Kaiba. Many games print it on each card.
