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?
Above average - 70 out of 100
It ranks above 70% 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?
Climbing for 2 months and sellers less firm than most
It has done better than the market over two months, which is long enough to be a trend rather than a blip. 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.
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?
$5.33 - cheap for its set
At $5.33 it is one of the cheaper cards in its set - number 180 of 227 by price. It costs more than 85% of other Common cards we track. It is at or near its highest price of the past year.
What makes this card unusual?
An ordinary Common from a 22-year-old set
Common is a widely printed rarity - 12,380 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 24% 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 413% of the $5.33 raw price. Raw price plus fee comes to about $27.33, 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.
