The eras at a glance
Each era changed what a valuable card looks like, so knowing the era narrows down what you are holding:

- EX, 2003–2007. The Pokémon Company International took over with EX Ruby & Sapphire in 2003. Pokémon-ex, Gold Stars and δ Delta Species define it: see 2005 and 2006.

Finding your exact printing
The same Pokémon has been printed hundreds of times, and the printings can differ in value by orders of magnitude. Three details settle which one you have: the set symbol, the card number, and the finish — holo, reverse holo or plain. For cards from Japan's early years the number is a Pokédex number rather than a set number, so the set symbol does the work. Japanese and English printings are always listed separately. A Pokémon guide such as Charizard or Mewtwo puts every printing of one Pokémon side by side.
About the values
The figures are estimates, not guaranteed sale prices. Where market data exists, a card page shows values by grade; where it does not, it shows a rough range from the app's own scans. How the estimates are produced explains both.
