Pokemon Bulk Prices
How Pokemon bulk prices work, what common quantities pay at current rates, and how to estimate your own payout before you ship.
How Pokemon Bulk Prices Are Set
Bulk prices come down to category. Large-volume cards are priced per 1,000, and cards that are worth more individually are priced per card. That keeps pricing simple: sort, count, multiply. At current rates commons, uncommons, and rares are $20 per 1,000 cards, holos and reverse holos are $50 per 1,000 cards, and WOTC Unlimited bulk is $250 per 1,000 cards. The complete list is on our Pokemon bulk rates page.

Worked Payout Examples
These examples show how different lots add up. They are illustrations based on current rates, not guaranteed quotes.
| Example lot | Estimated payout |
|---|---|
| A 5,000-card commons box | $100 |
| A 10,000-card mix: 8,000 commons/uncommons/rares and 2,000 holos/reverse holos | $260 |
| A modern hits stack: 25 V, 10 VSTAR, 8 VMAX, 40 GX, and 30 EX | $67.50 |
| A 3,000-card WOTC Unlimited lot | $750 |
Why Holos Pay More Than Commons
A holo or reverse holo is worth more to resell than a plain common or uncommon, so the bulk price reflects that: $50 per 1,000 cards versus $20 per 1,000 cards. The same logic runs up the ladder: V, VSTAR, VMAX, GX, and EX cards are priced per card because each one is worth individually more than bulk.
What Affects What You Net
- Condition. Rates assume Near Mint cards (WOTC-era cards can be Lightly Played to Near Mint).
- Shipping. We cover shipping for 5,000 or more cards. For smaller shipments, factor the cost of postage into what you expect to net.
- Payment method. Payment is sent via PayPal G&S or Venmo G&S after your submission is confirmed.
Quick Answers
Are Pokemon bulk prices per card or per 1,000?
Both. Commons, uncommons, rares, holos, reverse holos, and WOTC bulk are priced per 1,000 cards. Everything else is priced per card.
How much do 10,000 Pokemon bulk cards pay?
It depends on the mix. At current rates, 10,000 commons, uncommons, and rares pay $200, while 10,000 holos and reverse holos pay $500.
Do bulk prices include shipping?
Shipping is covered for bulk quantities of 5,000 cards or more, so nothing comes out of your payout for postage on those shipments.
