Pokémon Trader #106 Value (Base Set 2)
Pokemon card price guide: raw and graded values, eBay sold prices and price history. Updated Nov 2, 2026.
Pokémon Trader is a Trainer card from Base Set 2, illustrated by Ken Sugimori and issued during an early era of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. It lets players swap a card from hand for one from the opponent's discard pile, a mechanic that made it a staple in early competitive decks. Collectors often overlook it next to flashier holos, but its clean single-print run keeps it a familiar face in Base Set 2 binders. Pokémon Trader remains a quiet fixture of early Pokémon TCG history.
