Pokémon TCG Value Watch: Fusion Strike In September 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 September 2022.
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: $133.06
- Espeon VMAX Alternate Art Secret Rare 270/264: $131.83
- Mew VMAX Alternate Art Secret Rare 269/264: $68.20
- Mew V Alternate Art 251/264: $39.60
- Mew VMAX Rainbow Rare Secret Rare 269/264: $38.32
- Celebi V Alternate Art 245/264: $28.30
- Inteleon VMAX Alternate Art Secret Rare 266/264: $24.24
- Genesect V Alternate Art 255/264: $22.52
- Mew V Full Art 250/264: $17.32

- Training Court Gold Secret Rare 282/264: $9.69
- Fire Energy Gold Secret Rare 284/264: $9.10
Whoa. Big jump for the two top cards. Gengar VMAX Alternate Art and Espeon VMAX Alternate Art have shot from the very low $100s to $130 a piece. That is a huge and notable leap for two cards in a set that has been widely available. Do yourself a favor and follow the value of these two cards closely, as we just saw the Eeveelution VMAX Alternate Arts of Sword & Shield – Evolving Skies jump significantly even in the midst of that set becoming more available through an Elite Trainer Box reprint.
