Beating the market, or just riding it?
Not enough trading to say
It trades too rarely, or has too little recent price history, for a 2-month comparison with the market to mean anything.
Describes the last 2 months, not what happens next. Not investment advice.
Is this card interesting right now?
Not scored
This card does not trade often enough for the signals to mean anything, so it is left unscored rather than given a misleading number.
Why is it interesting?
No score to explain
It has no interest score, so there is no ranking to break down.
Is it becoming more popular?
Mostly yes
Compared with the Pokemon market as a whole, so a rising tide does not count as popularity. In this market these trends have tended to keep going rather than reverse.
Is it expensive or cheap?
$3.02 - cheap for its set
At $3.02 it is one of the cheaper cards in its set - number 465 of 632 by price. It costs more than 31% of other Promo cards we track. It is at or near its highest price of the past year.
What makes this card unusual?
An ordinary Promo from a 10-year-old set
Promo is a widely printed rarity - 4,015 tracked cards share it. The set is about 10 years old, so surviving copies in good condition get scarcer over time.
Could you actually buy or sell it?
Slowly - it rarely trades
The price changed in 9% of our checks over the past year across 34 observations. TCGplayer's market price only updates when a copy sells, so a low figure means the price shown may be stale and any trend reading is built on very few real sales.
How does the grading fee compare?
Fee exceeds raw price
A roughly $22.00 grading fee is 728% of the $3.02 raw price. Raw price plus fee comes to about $25.02, before shipping, insurance or selling costs. That is a cost comparison, not an estimate of a graded copy's value. We track raw ungraded prices only - no graded sales and no population data. We cannot assess this copy's condition or tell you what a PSA 10 is worth. Check condition and comparable graded sales before deciding whether grading would pay off.
