The PokémonPokédex No. 53

How much is a Persian card worth?

It depends which one. We know the price of 34 Persian cards: here they are, dearest first. Each number is what that exact card actually sold for on average over the last seven days at Cardmarket, Europe's big card marketplace — prices are in euros because that is how it trades.

Two Persian cards can be worth wildly different amounts, and that is normal: they are different cards. Every set prints its own version, often at several rarities, and a rare version printed in small numbers can be worth a hundred times the common one. The code and number at the bottom of the card tell you which one you are holding.

The 7-day average is what the card actually traded at this week at Cardmarket. Read on 5 September 2026.

Our prices are for cards traded as they are at Cardmarket. Graded cards — the ones scored and sealed in a case by specialist companies — sell on a different market, and we do not measure that one.
