Neo Genesis overview

This Neo Genesis card list is a working price reference rather than a checklist alone: every card we track sits in the table above with its current Near Mint value, its rarity, its collector number and its 30-day change. The set carries the code N1 and was released on 2000-12-16 as part of the Neo series. In the order the series has been released, it is the first expansion in our catalog of that series, arriving after Gym Challenge and followed by Neo Discovery. That timing matters for prices, because each new expansion pulls collector attention and spending away from the one before it.

In size, the set runs to 111 cards, and every one of them sits in the main numbering. We currently price 104 of its 111 cards; when a card is missing from the table it is because there is not yet a reliable stream of completed sales to anchor its value, not because it does not exist. We would rather leave a gap than publish a number we cannot back up.

Most valuable Neo Genesis cards right now

The most expensive card in the set is Lugia Rare Holo (#9) at $534.65 Near Mint, followed by Typhlosion Rare Holo (#17) at $201.40. Only 21 of the 104 cards we price are worth ten dollars or more, and 7 clear one hundred dollars. The ten most valuable cards together add up to about $1,662.90, which is roughly 77% of the whole Near Mint set index. That concentration is typical of modern sets: a handful of secret rares carry the value, and the rest of the checklist trades as bulk.

Behind the top two, the next tier is Typhlosion Rare Holo at $175.02, Feraligatr Rare Holo at $144.81, Feraligatr Rare Holo at $136.24, Pichu Rare Holo at $133.45. These cards are where the gap between a lucky pull and an ordinary pack shows up most clearly. If you are selling, the top-ten panel above is the shortlist worth checking first; if you are buying singles, it shows how much of the set's cost sits in just a few cards.

Volume matters as much as price. In this set, Marill Common is the most heavily traded card on the page at 44 completed sales in 30 days, and Marill and Moo-Moo Milk are the two easiest to sell, while the most valuable cards trade far less often. A price backed by heavy volume is a more dependable guide to what your copy will sell for than one built on a handful of sales.

Neo Genesis rarity breakdown and what to chase

The main set is built from the usual tiers. By the set catalog, there are 35 Commons, 35 Uncommons and 16 Rares. Taken together that is the bulk of the checklist, and it is also the bulk of the cards that trade for small amounts: across the cards we price, 24 of 104 sit under one dollar and the median card is worth $2.21.

In plain terms, Illustration Rares are full-art versions of regular Pokemon with a different artist's take on the scene, Ultra Rares are full-art versions of ex cards and trainers, and Special Illustration Rares are the full-art pieces that usually feature the set's headline ex Pokemon and supporters in a more elaborate illustration. The Mega Hyper Rare is the top-numbered card in the set and sits at the very end of the checklist. For collectors, the practical chase is clear from the data: the Special Illustration Rares and Mega Hyper Rares account for most of the value, while Illustration Rares are the affordable way to own alternate art from this set.

Artists matter to many collectors when they decide which cards to chase. Among the most valuable cards in the set, Lugia (Rare Holo) is illustrated by Hironobu Yoshida; Typhlosion (Rare Holo) is illustrated by Shin-ichi Yoshida; Typhlosion (Rare Holo) is illustrated by Ken Sugimori. Card pages list the artist for every card where the catalog provides it.

30-day price movers

Only cards from this set with at least 25 completed sales in 30 days are ranked here, so thin-price noise stays out. Change is Near Mint market index, 30 days.

Neo Genesis price trends in the last 30 days

Among cards with at least 25 completed sales in the last 30 days, the biggest risers are Mareep at plus 71%, Snubbull at plus 45% and Marill at plus 6%. On the way down, Super Rod is off 38%, Pikachu is off 36% and Oddish is off 24%. The risers are low-priced cards where a move from a few cents to a few more cents shows up as a large percentage, so read them as a signal of demand for playable or collectible commons rather than as a big change in money terms.

New sets tend to follow a familiar path. In the first weeks after release, prices for the chase cards are set by a small number of early sales and can swing widely. As more product is opened, supply of every card grows, and prices for most secret rares drift down until they meet steady demand. The release of the next expansion, here Neo Discovery, often pulls attention away and softens prices further.

The movers panel above only ranks cards with at least 25 completed sales in 30 days, so thin-price noise stays out. Changes are measured on the Near Mint market index over 30 days and are updated with the rest of the page each day.

Is Neo Genesis worth collecting, and should you buy sealed or singles?

Whether the set is worth collecting depends on what you want from it. If you want the full checklist, the Near Mint set index of $2,162 is a useful reference for what one copy of every card we price would cost at today's market values, although buying everything individually rarely lands exactly on that number. If you only want the cards you love, singles let you skip the luck of opening packs entirely, and the price table shows the cost up front.

Opening sealed product is a different decision. We do not publish sealed prices or pull rates for this set or for Neo Discovery on this page, because we only report what we can measure from completed card sales. What the card data does show is that 24 of the 104 cards we price trade for under a dollar, so most pulls from any pack are worth very little on their own, and the value of opening rests on the small chance of hitting one of the top secret rares. People open packs for fun, for the chase and for building decks; if your goal is a specific card, buying that single is usually the more predictable route.

To complete the master set, collectors usually start with the main 111 cards, which are cheap and plentiful, then add the Illustration Rares and Ultra Rares, and leave the Special Illustration Rares and Mega Hyper Rares for last. Nothing on this page is financial advice, and past prices do not predict future ones. Card prices can fall as easily as they rise, especially for newer sets.

How we price Neo Genesis cards

Every price on this page is the Near Mint market value for a single English card, built from completed TCGplayer sales. We rebuild the numbers daily, and the date in the facts box shows when this set last updated. We do not use asking prices or listings, so a number here reflects what copies have actually sold for, not what sellers hope to get.

The Near Mint set index is the sum of the Near Mint market values of every card we price in the set. It is a reference for the value of a complete collection in one condition tier, not an offer to buy or sell. Lightly played, moderately played and damaged copies sell for less, and each card page shows those condition values alongside 30 days of price history.

If you need a firm number for a high-value card, open its page and look at the recent sales behind the price. For more sets, see the links at the foot of this page, starting with Gym Challenge Card List and Neo Discovery Card List.
