What Base Set is worth today

The set carries $2k of tracked value across 101 priced cards, and Charizard accounts for 39.8% of it on its own. That concentration is the normal shape of a Pokemon set: a handful of chase cards hold almost all the money, and the median card sits at $2.57.

If you are pulling this set, the cards worth sleeving are the ones at the top of the list. Everything below the top twenty trades for less than the cost of shipping it, so bulk it and move on.
