While thebest sets from the Black & White eracontinue to age into the vintage gems they’ll one day be considered, some of thesePokemon TCGcards are still available for affordable prices. If you enjoy sets that feature a blend of Pokemon, Trainer Supporters, and various rarities, then Noble Victories will provide the perfect roster of cards for you.
Top-tier choices like N make an impressive mark in this set, as popularity reigns supreme, with most cards featuring a straightforward art style. Unova is well-represented among the best cards in Noble Victories, but the set isn’t exclusive, so there’s room to include a welcome guest among these Legendary Pokemon.
Cards are ordered according to theirTCGPlayerMarket Price,which you might pay on average for a copy of the cards below.
However,sale prices differ depending on the card’s condition,so this market price is just a rough idea of the card’s value.
8Chandelure (Rare) – $11.33
Warming Up
Chandelure’s introduction to the Pokemon TCG gave us one of the best cards in Noble Victories, but this Ghost-type also appears in othervaluable sets, like Next Destinies.Chandelure’s value is fairly middling, as this Pokemon avoids bottom dwelling, but hasn’t quite jumped into the upper echelon of popularity.
This Chandelure comes in a Non-Holo Rare and a Reverse Holo version, and while the Reverse Holo has a higher ceiling, its market price is lower overall. As a point of comparison, you should expect to payabout $17for a near-mint(NM)of aReverse Holo,while theother version will max out closer to $14.
7Archeops (Rare) – $11.43
Hovering Among The Best
Archeops barely sticks its neck ahead of Chandelure, claiming a minuscule lead that may not last for long, especially since prices shift often. However, at the moment, Archeops jumps ahead with this solid Secret Rare.
Much like Chandelure, this Archeops' best Reverse Holos will exceed the Rare’s market price, but unfortunately, theReverse Holo’s sub-ten-dollar market priceleaves it as the technical runner-up. NM copies of the Reverse will run you about $13, while the regular variant can’t eclipse $12.
6Terrakion (Full Art) – $22.52
A Sword Of Darkness?
Terrakion is the first member of the Swords of Justice to claim its spot on the most valuable cards in Noble Victories, leaving plenty of room for its peers to claim higher placements. While Terrakion and its fellow Swords are well-known as defenders of justice, this shadowy depiction sends the opposite message.
This card can range from as low as $7.49 for a damaged copy, all the way up to about $30 or more for NM cards. If you’re looking for a middle ground, lightly played(LP)cards sell for about $15 or $16, with moderately played(MP)copies following close behind at about $13.
5Virizion (Full Art) – $27.87
Justice Restored
While Virizion is sometimes confused with a popular communications brand, this green-hued Sword Of Justice leaves no doubt about its commitment to representing multiple shades of green in this verdant visual masterpiece. The careful use of shading and perspective lets Viriziondistinguish itself from the background, giving an almost 3D effect.
If you’re looking for a cheap copy of this card, then you’ll be happy to find HP versions trading for around ten dollars, while upgrading to an MP copy will only cost an extra two or three dollars in some cases. However, LP jumps into the $18 to $21 range, followed byNM cards that can sell for up to $37.
4Cobalion (Full Art) – $28.72
Switching Directions
The final member of the Swords Of Justice to feature among the most valuable cards in Noble Victories is Cobalion, the Steel and Fighting-type member. This Pokemon’s regal appearance is undoubtedly its dominating trait, as the deep blue and white complement each other elegantly.
Prices are beginning to jump, with HP and MP cards trading for about $11 and $13, respectively, while LP turns up the heat, boasting sales firmly around the $25 plateau. That leaves rareNM copies to sell for anywhere from $29 to $45,a wide range that requires you to inspect each card before purchase.
3Victini (Full Art) – $31.04
Unovan Supremacy
Victini claims a consolation prize, as the most valuable Unovan Pokemon in Noble Victories, leaving fellow legendaries in the dust.
With two spots still to fill and no more Unovan Pokemon to come, you might be surprised by the standout stars of this set.
Victini’s art leans into its primary red coloring and succeeds with a stark, vibrant scene that highlights this Pokemon’s signature style. Prices still range in similar ways to previous entries, with the worst copies starting at roughly $12, andthe cleanest copies soaring as high as $37.
2Meowth (Secret Rare) – $38.54
A Surprise Guest
You rarely see Meowth among the most popular Pokemon from Kanto, so it’s an even bigger surprise to find it near the top of a set primarily themed after Kantonian Pokemon.
The cute illustration and Secret Rare status give this card more qualities to enjoy.
NM copies of Meowth can reach highs around $43,while the cheapest copy you can find will likely cost around $17, leaving a decent range to choose from depending on your budget. However, LP copies are only slightly higher than the bar of entry, so avoiding NM listings will help you save.
1N (Full Art) – $98.73
Thinking Ahead
N is sometimes forgotten due to his quiet nature and dislike of dramatic actions, but his cards frequently garner love and attention among some of the best cards from the era.
you’re able to also find N amongthe most expensive full-art Trainer cards ever.
Unfortunately, the bargain hunting is mostly over, as even damaged copies of this card can command $45. However, if you want to get anNM version, prepare to spend roughly $105for your perfect copy. However, settling for LP seems more affordable, with sale prices dropping toward the $70 mark.
