ACE SPEC Pokémon cards — how many are there and what are they worth?

There are 46 ACE SPEC cards on file, 46 of them with a price, and the typical one costs $0.82.

Card mechanic · 46 cards · 46 with a price · $0.30 to $22.02 · read August 14, 2026

How much is a ACE SPEC Pokémon card worth?

The typical ACE SPEC card costs $0.82. Across the 46 of them that carry a price, the cheapest is $0.30 and the dearest is $22.02 — Hero's Cape 152, at $22.02. That spread is why the group price is a starting point and not a valuation of any one card.

Card facts are read from openly published card files; prices are read once a day from public marketplace listings into this site's own archive. Figures on this page were read on August 14, 2026.

The middle step counts every card that records a mechanic, including mechanics too small to have a page of their own. That is why its figure is larger than the totals on the mechanic list, which only counts the groups it can open.

ACE SPEC Pokémon cards at a glance

  • What this group is. 46 cards share the mechanic ACE SPEC. A mechanic is the special kind a card is printed as — V, VMAX and ex among Pokémon, Item, Supporter and Stadium among Trainers — recorded with each card in the card files this site reads. Evolution stages are counted on their own, and a plain card carries no mechanic at all, so this axis covers only the part of the archive that has one.
  • What they cost. The typical card is $0.82. Across the 46 priced cards the range runs $0.30 to $22.02.
  • Where it stands. No. 23 of 28 mechanics by typical price, with 5 of them cheaper.
  • What is listed below. Every one of the 46 cards that carries a price, each with its own price page. The other 0 are counted in the total but have no published price, so they are not listed.
  • When it was read. Every figure on this page comes from the archive as it stood on August 14, 2026.

Each row compares the middle price of the whole group on two days. It is not the change of any single card — a card can fall while the group rises, which is what the movers list below shows.

The typical ACE SPEC card fell from $1.07 to $0.82 over the 11 months on file — -23.4%. A falling middle means the ordinary card of this group got cheaper, which is not always visible from the most expensive card alone.

How ACE SPEC Pokémon card prices are spread

One group price cannot describe 46 cards. These figures show how far apart they actually sit.

Each half circle is the whole price range of the 46 priced ACE SPEC cards, from $0.30 to $22.02, with the tenfold steps evenly spaced. The last one is read differently — it counts cards rather than dollars, and says so in its own label.

The two columns are different groups of cards, not two readings of the same one — the right column is the dearest end of the left one. "Typical" is the middle price, which half the cards sit below; "average" is pulled upward by the few very expensive cards, which is why the two differ.

The average price of a ACE SPEC card is $3.87 while the typical one is $0.82. The gap between those two numbers is the shape of this group: a small number of very expensive cards is dragging the average far above what most cards actually cost.

What three quarters of the 46 priced ACE SPEC cards cost

One in four ACE SPEC cards costs $0.44 or less, half cost $0.82 or less, and three in four cost $4.55 or less. Only the top quarter runs past $4.55, and the dearest tenth starts at $13.07.

Can you still play ACE SPEC Pokémon cards, and what do they cost to retreat?

Which ACE SPEC Pokémon cards moved most this year

The group moved -23.4%. These are the ACE SPEC cards inside it that moved furthest in each direction over the same window.

Change between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026, for the 22 ACE SPEC cards that carried a price on both days. Bar length is the size of the move, not its direction.

22 ACE SPEC cards tracked across the yearSee the group line

A group line and a card line are not the same thing. The ACE SPEC group fell over this window, yet the cards above ran from -62.0% to +535.5% — which is why a figure taken from the group tells you what to expect, and only the card page tells you what happened.

Back to summary

The cheapest ACE SPEC Pokémon cards you can buy

A group price hides its own floor. These are the 6 least expensive ACE SPEC cards carrying a price, which is what the group costs to start rather than what its best card costs.

Read from the same daily price archive as the rest of this page. A low price usually means the card is common rather than that it is a bargain.

How ACE SPEC compares with the other mechanics

Every mechanic in this list is ranked by its typical price. The bar is that price against the dearest group, and the highlighted row is where ACE SPEC sits.

Bar length is the typical price against Star, the dearest mechanic at $1,010.00. The row without a link is this group.

28 mechanics in totalSee them all

ACE SPEC is No. 23 of 28 mechanics by typical price, with 5 of them cheaper and 22 dearer. Rank is not the same as scarcity: a group can rank high because a handful of its cards are chased, while most of it stays affordable — the price ladder above shows which of those two is happening here.

Damage per HP is that group's average biggest attack divided by its average HP: a larger number means the group hits harder for the size it prints. Both averages are counted only across the cards that carry the number at all, and Trainer and Energy cards carry neither. Only groups large enough to have their own page are listed.

The dearest and the cheapest ACE SPEC Pokémon card, side by side

Both of these are ACE SPEC cards, and one costs 73 times what the other does. That gap is why a single group price is a starting point and not a valuation of any one card.

The other mechanics, and what each one is made of

The price ladder above ranks these same groups by what they cost. This one shows how big each of them is and what a card from it actually looks like, which is the part a ladder cannot carry.

Every group listed here is large enough to have a page of its own; smaller ones stay as rows on the page above.

ACE SPEC Pokémon cards — frequently asked questions

How many ACE SPEC Pokémon cards are there?

There are 46 ACE SPEC cards in this archive, and 46 of them carry a price. A mechanic is the special kind a card is printed as — V, VMAX and ex among Pokémon, Item, Supporter and Stadium among Trainers — recorded with each card in the card files this site reads. Evolution stages are counted on their own, and a plain card carries no mechanic at all, so this axis covers only the part of the archive that has one.

How much is a ACE SPEC Pokémon card worth?

The typical one costs $0.82. Across the 46 priced cards the range runs from $0.30 to $22.02, so the group price is a starting point rather than a valuation of any one card.

What is the most expensive ACE SPEC Pokémon card?

Hero's Cape 152 from Temporal Forces, at $22.02. It is 27× the typical price of the group.

Are ACE SPEC Pokémon cards rare?

By price they rank No. 23 of 28 mechanics, with 5 cheaper than this one. By size the group holds 46 of the 20,444 English cards on file, or 0.2%. Those two together are what "rare" usually means in practice — few of them, and dear because of it.

Do all ACE SPEC Pokémon cards have a price?

No. 46 of the 46 carry a price on file. The rest have never been listed at a price this archive could read, so they are counted in the card total but left out of every price figure rather than guessed at.

Where can I see every ACE SPEC Pokémon card?

The list on this page holds the 46 most expensive of them, dearest first, and each card opens its own price page. The remaining 0 carry no published price, which is why they are not drawn.

How often are ACE SPEC Pokémon card prices updated?

Prices are read once a day from public marketplace listings. The figures on this page were read on August 14, 2026. Which cards belong to this group comes from openly published card files and changes only when a new set is added.

Are ACE SPEC Pokémon cards going up in value?

Over the last 11 months the typical ACE SPEC card fell from $1.07 to $0.82, a change of -23.4%. That is the middle of the whole group, so it describes an ordinary card of this kind rather than the headline one at the top.

How much does a cheap ACE SPEC Pokémon card cost?

One in four ACE SPEC cards costs $0.44 or less and the cheapest on file is $0.30. Three in four cost $4.55 or less, so the cards past that point are the exception rather than the rule for this group.

Which ACE SPEC Pokémon cards are worth the most?

Sorted by rarity, Rare ACE is the dearest kind of ACE SPEC card: 13 of them are on file and the middle one costs $5.09. The table on this page lists every rarity in the group beside its own typical price.

Are ACE SPEC Pokémon cards legal in tournaments?

34 of the 46 ACE SPEC cards are legal in Standard today and 46 in Expanded — 73.9% and 100.0% of the group. A card leaves Standard when its set rotates out, so this share moves each year even though the cards do not change.

Are old ACE SPEC Pokémon cards worth more than new ones?

Not simply by age. Among ACE SPEC cards the 2012 printings sit at a typical $5.02 and the 2025 ones at $0.46, while the dearest year of all is 2013 at $5.09. Print run and demand decide it, not the date on its own.

Which ACE SPEC Pokémon card rose the most this year?

Unfair Stamp 165 from Twilight Masquerade, which went from $2.17 to $13.79 — a change of +535.5% between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026. It is one of 22 ACE SPEC cards that carried a price on both days.

Which sets have ACE SPEC Pokémon cards?

ACE SPEC cards appear across 10 sets on file. The largest are Surging Sparks (8 cards, typically $0.62), Temporal Forces (7 cards, typically $0.79), Prismatic Evolutions (6 cards, typically $0.46). The full list on this page gives every set beside its card count and typical price.

How these ACE SPEC figures are collected, and where you can check them

Every figure on this page is counted from the 46 ACE SPEC cards this site holds on file — 46 of them with a price read once a day from public marketplace listings into this site's own archive. Nothing here is estimated: a card with no price is left out of the price columns rather than filled in. The places below are where the same card information can be checked.

Before you rely on these figures

Note: Prices on this page are asking and market prices for ungraded English ACE SPEC cards, taken from a daily snapshot of public marketplace listings read on August 14, 2026. They are not offers, they exclude shipping, duty and marketplace fees, and they move. Counts cover only the English cards this site holds on file. Graded prices, population counts, sealed product values and pack odds are not published on this site because no free commercial source provides them.
