Sets featuring Rei Ayanami
How much are Rei Ayanami cards worth?
We track 3 Rei Ayanami cards across 1 set, ranging from $10.78 to $491. That spread is normal for a collected character: the same artwork often exists as an inexpensive base print and again as a scarce premium print, and it is the print rather than the character that sets the price.
The most valuable Rei Ayanami card we track is Rei Ayanami (005) (SR★★) (UE15BT/EVA-1-005) at $491, while Rei Ayanami (1-Star Alt Art) at $31.21 is the most accessible entry point on this page. Prices are weekly TCGplayer market data where we have it and editorial estimates otherwise, and every card links to its own page with price history.
