UltraBall

UltraBall is a Pokémon card price and market data platform covering 20,903 English cards across 185 sets, from the 1999 Base Set through to current releases. It is built for collectors, sellers, graders and investors who need a dependable way to check what a card is actually selling for, rather than a single headline number lifted from a marketplace listing. Every card page pairs an ungraded price with its four-week change, a price ladder for each graded condition, a price chart, recorded sales and liquidity marks, so you can see how much evidence sits behind a value before you buy, sell or submit a card for grading.

The database spans the full English print run, organised by era (Wizards of the Coast, EX, Diamond & Pearl, Sword & Shield, Scarlet & Violet, Mega Evolution), by Pokémon species, by rarity and by collector nickname, so identifying an unfamiliar card is straightforward. UltraBall also publishes market indexes, trade volume rankings and record sale data, giving a wider read on where the hobby market is heading rather than an isolated snapshot of one card.

What Makes UltraBall Stand Out

• Prices backed by recorded sales: Each card lists the sales UltraBall has captured, how many there were and how recently they happened, with live listings kept separate from completed sales.
• Graded prices are never blended: PSA, CGC, BGS, SGC and TAG values are reported separately for each grade, so a PSA 10 estimate is not contaminated by raw or lower-grade data.
• Confidence and liquidity on every price: Listings show how many copies sold, how recently, and how easily a card in that condition changes hands, and thin evidence is labelled rather than hidden.
• Market indexes and trade rankings: Track the UltraBall 100, Vintage, Modern, PSA 10 and Raw indexes alongside most traded cards, record sales and low population reports.
• Practical collector tools: The AI card grader, centering tool, grading calculator, selling calculator, Slab Hunter and eBay deal finder support the decisions that follow a price check, from whether to grade a raw card to what to bid at auction.

Who Should Use UltraBall

• Collectors checking a card's value who want recent sold prices and price history in one place instead of scrolling through months of marketplace listings.
• Sellers and resellers who need graded and ungraded price ladders plus liquidity signals to price a card realistically and judge how quickly it will move.
• Graders and investors weighing submission costs against likely returns, using the grading calculator, centering tool and population data before committing money.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is UltraBall?

UltraBall is an independent database and price guide for English Pokémon cards. It tracks values, recent sales, graded prices and market indexes for 20,903 cards across 185 sets, with prices updated daily and set checklists, rarity guides and collector tools included. It is a collector resource, not a marketplace, and it is not affiliated with Nintendo, Creatures, GAME FREAK or The Pokémon Company.

How does UltraBall calculate Pokémon card prices?

Prices are derived from recorded sales for the exact card and condition, with the number of sales and their recency shown beside each value. Graded prices are calculated per grader and grade, and cards with limited sales evidence are marked so you know how much weight to give the number. The methodology page sets out the full approach.

Does UltraBall cover Japanese or non-English Pokémon cards?

The current database covers English cards only, spanning 185 English sets from 1999 to the present. Japanese exclusives and other language printings are not included in the price data, though English promos and special releases such as Black Star Promos and 30th Celebration are covered.
