Pokémon TCG Value Watch: Fusion Strike In April 2022

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 Sword & Shield – Fusion Strike, which came out in November 2021 are doing now in April 2022.

Interesting! Fusion Strike had dropped quite a bit but now we see the two biggest hits in the set creeping back up. Espeon VMAX Alt Art and Gengar VMAX Alt Art are up almost $14, pushing back over $100 once again. Mew VMAX Alt Art is up $4 and the Rainbow Rare Mew VMAX is up $5. The regular Mew VMAX is up a few dollars as well. All other cards have shifted around a bit, but we certainly aren't seeing a downward trend continue with this late 2021 Pokémon TCG set. Are collectors beginning to realize that they've overlooked a terrific set here?
