These are the 12 dearest of the 17 cards credited to "Big Mama" Tagawa in this archive, not the whole set. Cards with no price on the snapshot day cannot be ranked and are left out of the ordering.

"Big Mama" Tagawa is credited on 17 cards in this archive. The prints above are the ones that currently carry the highest prices, which is the quickest way to see the kind of card this artist tends to be given.

An illustrator is a way of sorting cards, not a reason for their price. Buying another card by the same hand does not carry the price across — what makes the price is the Pokémon, the rarity and the year, and the numbers for that sit in the ranking section.

Pokémon Center 40 in depth — what the numbers mean

The figures from the sections above, tied together once more.

What makes the price of Pokémon Center

  1. Pokémon Center — the Pokémon this card is, and the group it is ranked inside
  2. Promo — Wizards Black Star Promos, so supply came from how that promotion was handed out rather than from a pull rate
  3. Illustrated by "Big Mama" Tagawa — a sorting axis, not a price driver

What holds the price where it is

  • It sits at 91% of its own 1-year range, between $450.00 and $1,175.00 — priced where it has usually been
  • Legal in Unlimited only, so it is not bought to fill a tournament deck
  • 104 daily readings stand behind every figure above

Which Pokémon cards moved most since yesterday?

Both lists are recalculated once a day, after the source archive is refreshed — the readings compared here are August 13, 2026 against August 14, 2026. Cards under $5 are left out of the ranking, because a one-cent move on a card worth a few cents becomes a double-digit percentage and would bury everything else.

Pokémon Center 40 price — frequently asked questions

How much is Pokémon Center 40 worth?

Pokémon Center 40 has a market price of $1,108.00, and the cheapest copy on sale is $2,499.00, read on July 31, 2026. Both figures are for ungraded cards.

Is Pokémon Center 40 rare?

Pokémon Center 40 is a Promo, which means it was handed out through a promotion rather than pulled from a booster pack of a numbered set. It carries no set number of its own, so scarcity came from how that promotion was run.

Why is another Pokémon Center selling for much more?

Pokémon Center was printed in 0 different sets. The artwork looks alike, but the set name and the card number under the picture are different, and so is the price. Check the number before you buy.

Should I get Pokémon Center graded?

No grading figure for Pokémon Center 40 is published here. Graded prices and population counts come from paid grading services under commercial plans that are not in use on this site, so the question cannot be answered with data. What can be said is the ungraded price above, which is the floor any grading decision starts from.

Is the German or French Pokémon Center cheaper?

No. The six European language printings of Pokémon Center share one product record, so they trade at the same price. Only the Japanese release is a separate card, because Japan uses a different set and numbering system.

Does tournament play affect what Pokémon Center 40 sells for?

Yes, and mostly by keeping it out. Pokémon Center 40 is legal in Unlimited only, so it is not bought to fill a competitive deck — its price is set by collectors instead, which is why it moves with condition and print rather than with the season's results.

Do these Pokémon Center prices include shipping or tax?

No. Every figure on this page is the listed price of Pokémon Center 40 itself. Shipping, import duty and marketplace fees are added on top by the seller.

How often does the Pokémon Center 40 price update?

Once a day. The Pokémon Center 40 archive behind this page holds 104 daily readings, the oldest from July 30, 2025 and the newest from July 31, 2026.
