Palworld TCG price guide
What the sets are, how the rarity tiers work, and what actually drives a Palworld card's value — with live links into the sold-price data instead of numbers that rot in prose. Every price behind these links is a completed sale, never an asking price.
The sets
The game launched worldwide on 2026-07-30 with one booster set and two trial decks; event promos exist outside retail entirely. Japanese and English printings share a set — the English printing prefixes an E to the code (so JP BP01-025 and EN EBP01-025 are the same card, and each printing's sales are priced separately).

Rarity tiers, from the printed codes
The printed rarity code on the card (bottom edge) is the single biggest identity fact for pricing — a base printing and its alternate-art parallel share a name and a set number but trade at completely different levels. This table is derived from our card catalogue, not typed by hand:
| Tier | Printed codes | Cards | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| common | TD C |
83 | the bulk of every pack; almost never worth more than the sleeve |
| uncommon | U |
30 | one step up; playable, rarely collectible |
| rare | R |
24 | the foil floor — where a pull starts feeling like a pull |
| super rare | SR TSR RR |
65 | the standard hits (RR, SR and the trial-deck TSR foils) |
| chase | OSR SP SSP TSP SSS |
36 | the money slots: alternate-art and special printings (SP/SSP/OSR/TSP/SSS) |
| promo | PR |
11 | event handouts with no retail path — scarcity comes from the venue, not the pull rate |
Trial-deck cards carry their own codes (TD for fixed deck cards, TSR/TSP for their foil and parallel slots). "Chase" is our tier word for the printings whose pull rate, not gameplay, sets the price.
What actually drives value
- The printing, not the character. The same card exists as a base rarity and as SP/SSP/OSR parallels; the parallel routinely trades at many times the base. Always check which printing a price refers to — every card page here splits its printings and prices each from its own sales.
- Supply class. Booster-box cards are as scarce as the print run (3.5M+ packs pre-sold at launch — structurally plentiful); event promos handed out at conventions and launch festivals have no restock path at all once the event ends. That difference, not artwork, is why promos dominate the top of the sold-price table.
- Sample depth. A "price" resting on one sale is a story, not a market. Every number on this site carries a confidence tier for exactly that reason — see how we price.
- Language and market. JP and EN printings of the same card are separate markets; Japanese marketplace sales are converted at a dated ECB reference rate, never a made-up exchange rate.
- "1st Edition" is not a chase stamp. On this game it is a wrapper label on the whole launch print run — Bushiroad house style — not a per-card scarcity marker.

Looking a card up
We track 250 printings. Search by name or code from any page, browse every card, or start from a market overview. If a card shows "no verified solds — tracking live", that is the honest state of the market, not a gap in the guide: nobody has resold one that we could verify yet.
