On October 10, 2026, Card AI's published catalog separated ME: 30th Celebration into the 30C main set with 202 card records and the 30C-CC Classic Collection with 30 card records. Confirm the set code and collector number before using a price, because the same Pokemon can appear in both groups or in an older set.

30th Celebration price snapshot

Price snapshot observed October 10, 2026 (USD):

  • Lugia 149/147 from 30C-CC: $192.93

These are dated market snapshots, not offers, appraisals, or guaranteed sale prices. Available values can change after publication, and the value that applies to a physical copy still depends on the confirmed printing, finish, language, and condition or existing slab grade.

Confirm 30C or 30C-CC first

The main 30C set and the 30C-CC Classic Collection are separate catalog groups. A familiar name or artwork is not enough to choose between them. Check the set code and collector number printed on the card, then compare the artwork and finish.

This also keeps the new set separate from Pokemon Celebrations cards released in 2021. Similar anniversary wording does not make two printings interchangeable, and their prices should not be blended.

Scan or search for the matching record

Use the Pokemon card scanner when the card is in front of you. Card AI compares the photo with its catalog and suggests likely candidates. In Review, confirm 30C or 30C-CC, the collector number, artwork, finish, and language before using the selected record.

The scan does not authenticate a card or guarantee the exact printing from the photo alone. If the card is not in front of you, use the card price checker to search by name, set, or card number instead.

Keep raw and graded values separate

A raw copy and a graded copy are different holdings. For raw cards, record the condition you observe. For a slab, record the grading company and grade already printed on it. Card AI does not predict a grade from a photograph.

Available raw and graded prices also depend on the selected record and market coverage. A missing price should not be replaced with a value from a different printing.

Questions

Is 30th Celebration the same as the 2021 Celebrations set?

No. Confirm the set code and collector number rather than relying on the anniversary name. This guide covers the ME: 30th Celebration records identified as 30C and 30C-CC in Card AI's catalog on October 10, 2026.

Does the highest listed price apply to every copy?

No. Each amount belongs to the named card record in the dated snapshot. Printing, finish, language, raw condition, and an existing slab grade can change which available value is relevant.

Can the scanner identify the exact printing automatically?

The scanner suggests likely catalog candidates. You confirm the matching record and its details in Review; it does not authenticate the card or guarantee an exact printing from the image alone.
