What does 199/165 mean on a Pokémon card?

It is the printed card number and set total (card number / set total). Some special cards can have a number higher than the total (secret rare style).

What is the best way to search using the number?

Use name + number together when possible (example: “Charizard ex 199/165”). If you only have the number, try the number first and then refine with the name.

Are Pokémon card prices guaranteed?

No. Prices are estimates and change by condition, language, and marketplace. Always confirm using the latest listings before buying or selling.
