Is this card interesting right now?
Quiet - 19 out of 100
It ranks above 20% 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?
Sliding for 2 months and sellers holding firm
It has fallen behind the market over the past two months. Median asking prices sit above the recent-sales market reference - sellers are holding firm on price. This has been the strongest historical price signal in this market.
Is it becoming more popular?
No - losing ground
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-3.7%
Past 2 months-28.1%
Past 4 months-25.8%
Is it expensive or cheap?
$3.49 - expensive for its set
At $3.49 it is one of the priciest cards in its set - number 5 of 138 by price. It costs more than 33% of other Promo cards we track. It is 25% below its 12-month high. Worth knowing: in this market cards near their highs have gone on to do better than deeply discounted ones, so a big discount is not automatically a bargain.
What makes this card unusual?
An ordinary Promo from a 6-year-old set
Promo is a widely printed rarity - 4,015 tracked cards share it.
Could you actually buy or sell it?
Yes, with patience
The price changed in 43% 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 630% of the $3.49 raw price. Raw price plus fee comes to about $25.49, 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.
