The short answer
In every game we track, fewer than 1 in 10 cards has a market price of $100 or more. One Piece has the highest share (7.7%), followed by Pokémon (4.9%). The big prices are rare, which is exactly why finding the exact print of a card matters.

What stands out
- Pokémon has the most cards at $1,000 or more (266), even though it is a small share of its 68,704 priced cards.
- One Piece has the highest share at every level: 7.7% of its cards are $100 or more, and 162 are $1,000 or more.
- Magic has a very large catalog (128,290 cards with a price), so 1,804 cards at $100 or more is only 1.4% of it.
- Yu-Gi-Oh!, Dragon Ball Super, Lorcana and Digimon have fewer cards at these levels, but each still has some at $1,000 or more.
How we counted
- Only single cards, never sealed products.
- The raw (ungraded) market price. Graded copies are priced separately.
- Every print and variant counts as its own card, because each one has its own price.
- Prices are market estimates based on recent sales, not offers to buy or sell, and the real price of a card also depends on its condition.
Why the exact print matters
Two cards with the same name can sit on opposite sides of these lines: one worth a few dollars and another worth hundreds. U.C.M looks for the exact print, shows its official picture and its current price, and when a few prints look alike it shows the closest matches so you can pick the right one.
