EX FireRed & LeafGreen · Uncommon
Pricier than 27% of the cards we track in this set · at the top of its 12-month range ($1.58–$4.42)
Its interest score of 99 out of 100 is driven most by unusual move — sudden jump. 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?
Scores 99, but do not trust it
Asking prices are 3.2x what the card last sold for. At that extreme this is one or two outlier listings on a nearly empty page, not sellers holding firm - and seller confidence is the heaviest ingredient in the score. Check the real listings before believing this ranking. 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?
Sudden jump and sellers holding firm
The recent move is far larger than this card's normal week-to-week wobble - something happened. 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: asking prices are scattered, so the quoted price is not really the price.
Is it becoming more popular?
Yes - consistently
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?
$4.42 - cheap for its set
At $4.42 it is one of the cheaper cards in its set - number 183 of 248 by price. Against other Uncommon cards it sits at the 83th percentile - toward the top. It is at or near its highest price of the past year.
What makes this card unusual?
An ordinary Uncommon from a 22-year-old set
Uncommon is a common tier - 11,470 tracked cards share it. The set is about 22 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 17% 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?
No
At $4.42 raw, grading costs roughly $22.00 - more than the card itself. Only worth it for sentimental reasons. 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 84% chance of beating the typical tracked card over the next 60 days, by around +22.3% on a middling outcome.
Very few listings: treat this forecast as unusable. The model's heaviest input is seller confidence, and that is the exact figure this card's listings distort.
$5.03 – $6.66 — 80% likely. The middle half lands between $5.31 and $6.02. Today it is $4.42.
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.
