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 – Fusion Strike, which came out in November 2021, are doing now in January 2024.
Here are the top valued cards of Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield – Fusion Strike with market values observed on TCGPlayer as of this writing:
- Gengar VMAX Alternate Art Secret Rare 271/264: $214.28
- Espeon VMAX Alternate Art Secret Rare 270/264: $123.54
- Mew VMAX Alternate Art Secret Rare 269/264: $63.43

Last time we checked, the chase card Gengar VMAX Alternate Art Secret Rare had hit its 2023 high as the year closed out. Well, how about now? It's up $7, which is still up but at least not evidence of its skyrocketing. The second biggest card, the Espeon VMAX Alternate Art Secret Rare, dropped by $9. Remember when the Espeon was actually the chase card? Now, it's almost $100 lower than Gengar.
