Describes the last 2 months, not what happens next. Not investment advice.
Is this card interesting right now?
Standout - 95 out of 100
It is in the top 5% of everything 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?
Climbing for 2 months and climbing this month
It has done better than the market over two months, which is long enough to be a trend rather than a blip. It has done better than the rest of the market over the past month. Working against it: the price lurches around, so what you pay depends heavily on timing.
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+15.5%
Past 2 months+46.9%
Past 4 months+81.9%
Is it expensive or cheap?
$4.49 - expensive for its set
At $4.49 it is expensive for its set - number 28 of 102 by price. It costs more than 54% of other Classic Collection cards we track. It is at or near its highest price of the past year.
What makes this card unusual?
Classic Collection - genuinely scarce
Only 159 of the cards we track are Classic Collection - under 0.4% of them. This is the Holofoil printing, which is priced as a completely separate market from the other printings of the same artwork.
Could you actually buy or sell it?
Easily - it trades often
The price changed in 47% 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 490% of the $4.49 raw price. Raw price plus fee comes to about $26.49, 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.
