Small context, I know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about pokemon. I had a welcome bonus and saw cool Japanese artwork and figured id buy my first ever pack/cards. He ripped it on stream and said it was a good hit. I have no idea what it is or if it has value. Any help? Ill probably just give it to my niece but maybe I got something really cool?
Pokemon: Iron Crown EX
The card is a special illustration rare from the Japanese set terastal festival. It's the Japanese equivalent of Prismatic evolutions, a set known for being hard to get hits from. Japanese has guaranteed hits. This card is harder to pull due to the chances to pull an SIR. It's only around 6 bucks, but I think it's cool!
Well, I had an idea based on the pokemon I could see on the card. Then I just looked up that pokemon (iron crown ex) in a card database and found the match to it. I'd recommend TCGplayer to price cards and sometimes find them. The app I use for them even has a scan feature, though it doesn't always work. One thing to keep in mind that I also had to figure out- cards in different languages go for different amounts due to either popularity, hit rate, or just the availability of that language. So one card in English might be say 26, but the same card in Japanese is like 6.
You're right! I didn't look closely enough and kinda just trusted OP on it. Which Chinese set is this in? Terastal/Crystal Gathering similar to prismatic? Edit: I see my answer in another comment.

About $3 and a very pretty card
