How to Read These Rates
A rate of $20 per 1,000 cards means 1,000 commons, uncommons, and rares earn $20, which works out to $0.02 per card. Per-1,000 categories are entered in thousands in the calculator, so 5,000 cards is entered as 5. Categories priced per card are entered as the exact number of cards.

What Is a Pokemon Bulk Buylist?
A buylist is a published list of what a buyer will pay for specific categories of cards. Unlike a marketplace listing, you know the rate before you ship, so you can calculate your payout in advance. Ours covers the bulk categories collectors most often have in quantity, from commons and holos to V, VMAX, and GX cards, plus WOTC bulk, graded slabs, and new ETB sleeves.
Quick Answers
How often do Pokemon bulk rates change?
Rates can change, so check the “last updated” date at the top of this page. The calculator always uses the rates shown here.
Why are some categories priced per 1,000 and others per card?
Commons, uncommons, rares, holos, reverse holos, and WOTC bulk come in large quantities worth only cents each, so they are priced per 1,000. Higher-value categories such as VSTAR, VMAX, and graded slabs are priced individually.
Which categories pay the most per card?
At current rates, graded slabs (CGC 8+ Slab and PSA 8+ Slab) pay $8 each, and WOTC 1st Edition bulk works out to $5.00 per card ($5,000 per 1,000). Among modern categories, VMAX pays $1.25 each.
