Beating the market, or just riding it?
Not enough trading to say
It trades too rarely, or has too little recent price history, for a 2-month comparison with the market to mean anything.
Describes the last 2 months, not what happens next. Not investment advice.
Is this card interesting right now?
Ordinary - 28 out of 100
It ranks above 29% 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?
Sellers less firm than most and jumpy price
Asking prices sit above recent sales, but by less than on most cards - so relative to the rest of the market, sellers here are less firm. The price lurches around, so what you pay depends heavily on timing.
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-1.9%
Past 2 months-3.2%
Past 4 months+44.0%
Is it expensive or cheap?
$13.40 - mid-priced for its set
At $13.40 it is mid-priced for its set - number 85 of 232 by price. It costs more than 81% of other Rare cards we track. It is at or near its highest price of the past year.
What makes this card unusual?
An ordinary Rare from a 17-year-old set
Rare is a widely printed rarity - 6,033 tracked cards share it. The set is about 17 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 13% 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.
How does the grading fee compare?
Fee exceeds raw price
A roughly $22.00 grading fee is 164% of the $13.40 raw price. Raw price plus fee comes to about $35.40, 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.
