What this is
How many items PSA, the largest grading company, graded in 2025 and how many were trading cards: nearly 20m items, more than 11m trading cards, mostly Pokémon.
How it’s built
- Reported by Sports Illustrated’s collectibles site, citing GemRate: “more than 11 million were TCG cards, most of them Pokémon.”
What we assumed
Nothing. The figure is used as published.
Sanity check
Caps PSA’s 2025 Pokémon count at about 11–12m. An estimate elsewhere in the research (11.1m) sits at or above that cap, which the research flags as inconsistent.
The values
- Items: nearly 20m
- Card game: more than 11m (also '12 million total TCG items')
- Pokemon: most of them
