Its interest score of 59 out of 100 is driven most by price steadiness — very steady price. Blue bars pushed the score up, red bars pulled it down. The ingredients are weighted by how well each one has actually predicted price moves in this market, measured on your own price history rather than assumed.

What the numbers say

Is this card interesting right now?

Above average - 59 out of 100

It ranks above 59% 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. It is not a prediction, and it says nothing about whether you will enjoy owning the card.

Why is it interesting?

Very steady price and sellers holding firm

The price moves in small, calm steps rather than lurching around. People selling this card are asking more than it has recently sold for. In this market that has been the single most reliable sign that supply is tight. Working against it: it has fallen behind the rest of the market over the past 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-1.3%
Past 2 months-2.7%
Past 4 months-8.0%

Is it expensive or cheap?

$51.03 - expensive for its set

At $51.03 it is expensive for its set - number 40 of 264 by price. Against other Holo Rare cards it sits at the 77th percentile - toward the top. It is at or near its highest price of the past year.

What makes this card unusual?

An ordinary Holo Rare from a 26-year-old set

Holo Rare is a common tier - 3,435 tracked cards share it. This is the Unlimited Holofoil printing, which is priced as a completely separate market from the other printings of the same artwork. The set is about 26 years old, so surviving copies in good condition get scarcer over time.

Could you actually buy or sell it?

Slowly - it rarely trades

The price changed in 21% 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.

Is grading worth considering?

Worth a look

At $51.03 raw, the roughly $22.00 fee is about 43% of the card's value, so a strong grade can pay for itself. It hinges entirely on condition - centering, edges and surface. This is a vintage set, where condition varies far more between copies and grading matters correspondingly more. This card trades infrequently, so a graded copy could take a while to sell. This is a rule of thumb from the card's raw price, age and price stability. We track raw ungraded prices only - no graded sales and no population data - so this cannot tell you what a PSA 10 of this card is worth. Check a graded price guide before spending money.

What happens next (60 days)

Assumes the market as a whole drifts +4.0% over 60 days, its recent average. That part is an assumption carried forward, 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 and lags a real move by a few weeks. Part of any short-term forecast is that lag catching up — visible in the chart, but not something you can buy at.
