Describes the last 2 months, not what happens next. Not investment advice.
Is this card interesting right now?
Above average - 63 out of 100
It ranks above 63% of the cards we track. The score describes the conditions around the card today - how sellers are pricing it, how it is trending, how steadily it trades. Its weights were tuned on how cards moved over the following 60 days, so a high score is a tendency across many cards, not a forecast for this one - and it says nothing about whether you will enjoy owning the card.
Why is it interesting?
Sellers undercutting and climbing this month
Median asking prices sit below the recent-sales market reference - sellers are pricing more aggressively. It has done better than the rest of the market over the past month.
Is it becoming more popular?
Yes - consistently
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.
Past month+6.7%
Past 2 months+10.7%
Past 4 months+25.0%
Is it expensive or cheap?
$4.31 - expensive for its set
At $4.31 it is expensive for its set - number 55 of 251 by price. It costs more than 42% of other Holo Rare cards we track. It is at or near its highest price of the past year.
What makes this card unusual?
An ordinary Holo Rare from a 8-year-old set
Holo Rare is a widely printed rarity - 3,435 tracked cards share it. This is the Holofoil printing, which is priced as a completely separate market from the other printings of the same artwork. The set is about 8 years old, so surviving copies in good condition get scarcer over time.
Could you actually buy or sell it?
Yes, with patience
The price changed in 26% of our checks over the past year across 365 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 510% of the $4.31 raw price. Raw price plus fee comes to about $26.31, 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.
