WoTC Promo · Promo
Pricier than 99% of the cards we track in this set · at the top of its 12-month range ($450.00–$1,199)
Its interest score of 78 out of 100 is driven most by price steadiness — jumpy 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. Could not be measured for this card: 1-month trend, unusual move, 4-month trend — the score is worked out from the rest.
Is this card interesting right now?
Scores 78, but do not trust it
The cheapest listing and the middle of the listings are the same price ($2,000), which means there is effectively one copy for sale. One optimistic seller is not a market. Ignore the interest score here and go look at the actual listings. The score is computed the same way as for every other card, and on this one the ingredients are being fed by a listing that does not represent a real market. Treat the ranking as unreliable until the listings look normal again.
Why is it interesting?
Jumpy price and sellers holding firm
The price lurches around, so what you pay depends heavily on timing. 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.
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?
$1,199 - expensive for its set
At $1,199 it is one of the priciest cards in its set - number 2 of 70 by price. Against other Promo cards it sits at the 100th percentile - toward the top. It is at or near its highest price of the past year.
What makes this card unusual?
#2 most valuable in its set
Promo is a common tier - 4,010 tracked cards share it. Only 1 card(s) in this set are worth more. The set is about 27 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 9% of our checks over the past year across 103 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?
Usually yes
At $1,199 raw, the roughly $22.00 fee is minor next to the card's value, and cards at this level are usually worth protecting and authenticating regardless of the premium. 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.
Slightly ahead of the market
An estimated 60% chance of beating the typical tracked card over the next 60 days, by around -15.1% on a middling outcome.
Only one listing: treat this forecast as unusable. The model's heaviest input is seller confidence, and that is the exact figure this card's listings distort.
$682.30 – $1,712 — 80% likely. The middle half lands between $874.51 and $1,307. Today it is $1,199.
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.
