Top 10 Hottest Lugia Cards: Most Traded, With PSA 10 Prices

Lugia is one of the most enduring favourites in Pokémon card collecting — but which Lugia cards actually change hands most? We counted 12 months of sales (2025-10-05 to 2026-10-05) across 92 Lugia cards on Japan’s secondhand card market and took the 10 most traded. Each one shows how many sold ungraded and at PSA 10, the lowest asks right now, and a Collect2Day search link for each grade. #1 is the 30th Celebration Lugia [M6a 142/103], with 2037 sales in 12 months.

TL;DR

How This Ranking Was Built

The ranking counts actual sales on Japan’s secondhand card market over the last 12 months, ungraded and PSA 10 together, across 92 Lugia cards, and keeps the 10 most traded. A sale count measures how actively a card trades, not how expensive it is.

Each card shows two sets of figures. “Sales, last 12 months” gives the ungraded and PSA 10 counts separately. “Lowest ask now” is the cheapest listing on Japan’s market on 2026-10-05, in yen; for ungraded it is the lowest across conditions A to D. An ask is not a sale price, and asks move with the market.

Where This Data Comes From

What period do the sale counts cover?

12 months, 2025-10-05 to 2026-10-05, from sales records on Japan’s secondhand card market.

When were the asks captured?

2026-10-05, the lowest listing on each card’s product page on Japan’s secondhand card market.

Why is the 25th Anniversary Lugia’s count combined?

The sales records don’t separate the regular and mirror-holo prints of [s8a 005/028], so 233 covers both; the asks for each print are shown separately.

Will the asks change?

Yes. Check Collect2Day for the live price.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PSA 10?

PSA is a US card-grading company, and 10 is its top grade: surface, corners and centring all close to perfect. A PSA 10 copy and an ungraded copy of the same card are different goods, and their prices don’t compare directly.

How many versions of the #1 30th Celebration Lugia are there?

Three: the regular print, Hoshikui and Aoen. See Lugia 30th Celebration: Normal vs Hoshikui vs Aoen for how they differ and what each sells for.

Where can I buy these cards?

Every card has two Collect2Day links below it — “Search ungraded” and “Search PSA 10” — so you can check stock and prices by grade.

Sale counts from sales records on Japan’s secondhand card market, 2025-10-05 to 2026-10-05; asks captured 2026-10-05 from each card’s product page on Japan’s secondhand card market. A market snapshot, not a price forecast — check Collect2Day for the live price.
