Pokémon TCG Value Watch: Crown Zenith In March 2024

Our monthly Pokémon TCG Value Watch series observes the special set Crown Zenith closing out the Galarian era in March 2024.



Article Summary

  • March 2024 sees Crown Zenith as a key set wrapping up the Galarian era.
  • Crown Zenith's Galarian Gallery subset boasts the highest valued cards.
  • Card prices show minute fluctuations, suggesting market stabilization.
  • Collectors should monitor singles markets for potential savings on cards.

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: Crown Zenith, which came out in January 2023, are doing now in March 2024.

This month, there has been a lot of movement, but it is all very small. Cards are shifting around in their ranking but just moving a couple of dollars here and there. This is still a set where it makes sense to actually buy product when you see it, considering how many hits there are and how many cards are above $10. However, if prices continue to drop, keep an eye on the market to decide when the cheaper move becomes to buy the cards as singles.
