Alakazam (Japanese) Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Alakazam (Japanese) (Base Expansion Pack, 084/128) is worth around $50.00 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $50.00, while a Heavily Played one drops to roughly $8.98. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $50.00, Lightly Played $12.00, Moderately Played $19.99, Heavily Played $8.98 — so grading the condition correctly before you buy or sell matters more than almost anything else.
