ABOUT THIS CARD

Porygon is an uncommon Pokemon card from Pokemon Base Set, card 39 of 102, released January 9, 1999 in the Base series. The illustration is by Tomoaki Imakuni.

VALUE

What is Porygon #39 from Base Set worth?

Two different numbers answer this, and they are not interchangeable. Raw/ungraded: a loose, ungraded copy of Porygon #39 (Base Set) carries a market reference of $3.26 USD for the normal printing (TCGplayer market price, as of 2026-09-11). Graded slabs: a graded example is priced per grading company and per grade and can sit far above that raw figure - our own graded marks for this card are charted and tabled below, per grader and grade. Both are references, not offers. The graded copy in our machine carries a Rip Station estimated slab value of $79.00 (CGC 9).
