Some of the best cards in thePokemon TCGhave a long and storied history as early inclusions in the First and Second Generations. While some of themost valuable Pokemon from Generation One, like Flareon, boast a host of incredibly expensive cards to their name, Kangaskhan doesn’t cost quite as much as some traditional choices.
Vintage cards, likethe most valuable Pokemon in the base set, often carry a premium when they’re in good condition, allowing even less popular Pokemon, like Kangaskhan, to have some high-value cards. While none break the bank, these are the most expensive Kangaskhan cards ever.
Cards are valued according to theirTCGPlayerMarket Price,representing what you mightpay on averagefor any (first edition,where applicable)copy of the cards below.
However, given their age and rarity,sale prices are vastly different depending on the card’s condition,so this market price is just a rough idea of the card’s value.
6Kangaskhan: Flashfire (Full Art) – $10.56
A Bold Introduction
This stunning Kangaskhan kicks things off witha vibrant action scene that depicts Kangaskhanin the middle of an attack. The burst of prismatic brilliance behind Kangaskhan raises the quality of this card’s art significantly, as the standard punching motion would’ve fallen flat without such a stunning background.
This card is relatively new, so you won’t find many copies in heavily played (HP) or moderately played (MP) conditions.
Whether you enjoy the art or not, this card has experienced a revitalization that turned the tide of its price trend, bringing it out of the single digits and into striking distance of$11 in near-mint (NM) condition.If you want to save a few dollars, you may settle for a lightly played(LP) copy, which could cost as little as half the price.
5Kangaskhan: SWSH038 Promo (Pre-release) – $10.70
Promo Paradise
This Kangaskhan card was used to promote the Darkness Ablazeset in the Sword & Shield era. While the set itself isn’t spectacular, this Kangaskhan promo features multiple printings, with the second one boasting an even higher value than this.
Keeping to the standard promo, for the time being, this valuable Kangaskhan card is trending upward, rallying support as itapproaches the $11 plateau.Given the significant jump out of the single digits, this card could continue to increase in value as time goes on, given its limited release.
4Kangaskhan: FireRed & LeafGreen (Holo Rare) – $12.27
Throwing Rights Like Fight Night
This Kangaskhan came ready to toss hands, with a strong right jab ready to punch through the frame. The blood-red background boosts the intimidation factor for Kangaskhan as this Normal-type Pokemon prepares a devastating Power-Up Punch.
While both the Reverse Holo and the regular Holofoil sell in similar price ranges, the Holofoil sells more often and commands about ten dollars for LP condition, dropping to as low as three for HP or MP cards. At the top of the range,NMcopies can fetchabout $12.
3M Kangaskhan: Flashfire (Secret Rare) – $23.20
A Dynamic Mega Duo
This Kangaskhan is an excellent representation of some ofthe best sets in the X&Y era, as the signature style can be seen across this generation.
You’ll see a similar style onvaluable cards from XY Evolutions, including the Mega Charizard.
You’ll find plenty of NM copies of this card available on the market, with Kangaskhan boasting an upward trend that takes it into the 20s, as this card has hada big rally since it sat at the $18 mark.While the sky is the limit, there’s little hope of this card catching the next rare Kangaskhan.
2Kangaskhan: SWSH038 Promo (Staff Pre-release) – $48.18
The Stamp Of Approval
If you thought getting your hands on a copy of the regular pre-release promo for this card was difficult, then prepare for an even tougher challenge with this exclusive Kangaskhan card.
Staff promosare typically only given out to community “Staff” members who have taken a test, achieved the Professor rank, and volunteered their time to help during specified events.
Since this card is already very limited, the condition doesn’t play as big of a factor as it might with certain other cards, like a vintage favorite still to come.Both NM and LP copies sell for $45 to $50,giving this card one of the most stable – though unusual – price charts among any Kangaskhan card.
1Kangaskhan: Jungle (Holo Rare) – $49.83
A Kantonian Classic
The Kangaskhan fromJungle is among the best cards in that setand tops the charts as the most valuable Kangaskhan cards of all time. This simple design puts all the attention on the classic depiction of Kangaskhan, leaving the background with darker greenish hues to fill out the holo pattern.
First-edition copies trade in a wide range, giving this card appeal at almost any price range, with MP and LP copies going for $20 to $30, while you’llpay somewhere in the region of $40 to $75 for NM copies,though the exact price will depend entirely on the specific card and if it looks like it might receive a perfect grade.
