Is this card interesting right now?
Quiet - 0 out of 100
It ranks above 1% 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?
Slipping this month and sudden drop
It has fallen behind the rest of the market over the past month. The recent drop is far larger than this card's normal movement.
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-34.3%
Past 2 months-47.6%
Past 4 months-64.4%
Is it expensive or cheap?
$11.42 - expensive for its set
At $11.42 it is one of the priciest cards in its set - number 30 of 628 by price. It costs more than 51% of other Illustration Rare cards we track. It is 67% 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?
Illustration Rare - a scarcer rarity
517 tracked cards share this rarity (1% of all cards we track). 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 98% of our checks over the past year across 243 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 193% of the $11.42 raw price. Raw price plus fee comes to about $33.42, 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.
