Platinum · Secret Rare · Holofoil
Pricier than 90% of the cards we track in this set · at the top of its 12-month range ($15.62–$30.38)
Its interest score of 72 out of 100 is driven most by seller confidence — sellers holding firm. 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.
Is this card interesting right now?
Above average - 72 out of 100
It ranks above 72% 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?
Sellers holding firm and jumpy price
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. The price lurches around, so what you pay depends heavily on timing.
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.
Is it expensive or cheap?
$30.38 - expensive for its set
At $30.38 it is expensive for its set - number 27 of 254 by price. Against other Secret Rare cards it sits at the 62th percentile. It is at or near its highest price of the past year.
What makes this card unusual?
Secret Rare - uncommon tier
623 tracked cards share this rarity (1% of the catalogue). This is the Holofoil printing, which is priced as a completely separate market from the other printings of the same artwork. The set is about 18 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 8% 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?
Probably not
At $30.38 raw, a graded copy would need to fetch about $52.38 just to cover the roughly $22.00 fee - and that assumes a high grade. The maths only works on cards that grade well and carry a real premium for it. This is a vintage set, where condition varies far more between copies and grading matters correspondingly more. 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.
Expected to outpace the market
An estimated 67% chance of beating the typical tracked card over the next 60 days, by around +5.2% on a middling outcome.
$26.85 – $42.01 — 80% likely. The middle half lands between $30.29 and $36.84. Today it is $30.38.
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.
