How to read this forecast

The fan shows where the forecast puts the price in 60 days; the lines from today to then are drawn, not forecast day by day.

Assumes the whole market keeps rising about 3.9% every 60 days, as it has lately. That part is a guess from the recent past, not a prediction — the 'vs market' figure above does not depend on it.

Prices here are TCGplayer's market price, which is an average of recent sales, so it trails a real move by a few weeks. Part of any short-term forecast is that delay catching up — visible in the chart, but not something you can buy at.

Falling behind the market

Describes the last 2 months, not what happens next. Not investment advice.

Is this card interesting right now?

Quiet - 2 out of 100

It ranks above 3% 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 softer recent move than most

It has fallen behind the rest of the market over the past month. The recent move is within this card's normal range, but weaker than most cards' moves this month.

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-28.0%
Past 2 months-25.9%
Past 4 months-51.1%

Is it expensive or cheap?

$20.97 - expensive for its set

At $20.97 it is expensive for its set - number 39 of 147 by price. It costs more than 65% of other Promo cards we track. It is 62% 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 Promo from a recent set

Promo is a widely printed rarity - 4,015 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 98% of our checks over the past year across 195 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 105% of the $20.97 raw price. Raw price plus fee comes to about $42.97, 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.
