Is this card interesting right now?
Quiet - 24 out of 100
It ranks above 25% 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?
Jumpy price and below its 12-month high
The price lurches around, so what you pay depends heavily on timing. It is below its best price of the past year; the distance from that high is shown in the price figures.
Is it becoming more popular?
Mixed
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+1.1%
Past 2 months-6.1%
Past 4 months-32.2%
Is it expensive or cheap?
$2.88 - expensive for its set
At $2.88 it is expensive for its set - number 65 of 628 by price. It costs more than 11% of other Illustration Rare cards we track. It is 86% 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 97% of our checks over the past year across 244 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 764% of the $2.88 raw price. Raw price plus fee comes to about $24.88, 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.
