The Pokémon TCG is an ever-changing and unpredictable market. Over the past two years, we've seen renewed interest in the hobby due to a number of factors, including the 25th Anniversary, strong Sword & Shield-era sets featuring stunning Alternate Arts, influencers, box breaks, COVID-19 lockdown pushing people to find hobbies, and more. For a time, sets and cards that were readily available quickly became difficult to find. Now that the hype is settling down, let's see where modern sets stand. Every month, I will do an installment of this series, Pokémon TCG Value Watch. This series is not financial advice but is rather a way to help collectors know the trajectory of a card's availability so that Pokémon TCG completionists like myself know when to strike. Today, let's see how the cards of Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield – Brilliant Stars, which came out in February 2022, are doing now in November 2023.

This Pokémon TCG expansion includes a Trainer Gallery subset. The top cards of this subset are:

  1. Umbreon VMAX Character Super Rare TG23/TG30: $25.12
  2. Sylveon VMAX Character Super Rare TG15/TG30: $15.13
  3. Sylveon V Character Super Rare TG14/TG30: $13.59
  4. Mimikyu VMAX Character Super Rare TG17/TG30: $13.12
  5. Umbreon V Character Super Rare TG23/TG30: $12.99

Charizard V Alternate Art has seen a big drop this month, losing about $20 in value. This is notable, as the card has been one of the more valuable chase cards of the Sword & Shield era. Also worth noting is that the standard Raikou V, an easy pull, has gone up in value and is almost at $10. I can see this being a card that people want to sell at this value considering how common Vs are.
