Describes the last 2 months, not what happens next. Not investment advice.
Is this card interesting right now?
Above average - 61 out of 100
It ranks above 61% 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?
Softer recent move than most and climbing for 2 months
The recent move is within this card's normal range, but weaker than most cards' moves this month. It has done better than the market over two months, which is long enough to be a trend rather than a blip.
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.
Past month-3.3%
Past 2 months+11.4%
Past 4 months+68.5%
Is it expensive or cheap?
$17.26 - expensive for its set
At $17.26 it is expensive for its set - number 50 of 407 by price. It costs more than 92% of other Common cards we track. It is 6% 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 Common from a recent set
Common is a widely printed rarity - 12,380 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.
Could you actually buy or sell it?
Easily - it trades often
The price changed in 60% of our checks over the past year across 362 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 127% of the $17.26 raw price. Raw price plus fee comes to about $39.26, 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.
