Describes the last 2 months, not what happens next. Not investment advice.
Is this card interesting right now?
Above average - 76 out of 100
It ranks above 77% 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?
Climbing for 2 months and jumpy price
It has done better than the market over two months, which is long enough to be a trend rather than a blip. 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+8.4%
Past 2 months+34.5%
Past 4 months+3.6%
Is it expensive or cheap?
$27.71 - expensive for its set
At $27.71 it is one of the priciest cards in its set - number 18 of 363 by price. It costs more than 92% of other ACE SPEC Rare cards we track. It is 12% 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?
ACE SPEC Rare - genuinely scarce
Only 65 of the cards we track are ACE SPEC Rare - under 0.2% 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 99% 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?
Large fee versus raw price
A roughly $22.00 grading fee is 79% of the $27.71 raw price. Raw price plus fee comes to about $49.71, 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.
