Pokémon TCG Value Watch: Lost Origin in August 2024

Our monthly Pokémon TCG Value Watch series observes the Lost Zone-themed set Sword & Shield - Lost Origin in August 2024.

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 – Lost Origin, which came out in September 2022, are doing now in August 2024.

Here are the top valued cards of Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield – Lost Origin with market values observed on TCGPlayer as of this writing:

1. Giratina V Alternate Art 186/196: $369.80
2. Aerodactyl V Alternate Art 180/196: $100.12
3. Rotom V Alternate Art 186/196: $36.97
4. Galarian Perrserker V Alternate Art 184/196: $18.60
5. Giratina VSTAR Rainbow Rare 201/196: $15.53
6. Hisuian Goodra VSTAR Rainbow Rare 202/196: $8.15
7. Aerodactyl VSTAR Rainbow Rare 199/196: $7.55
8. Giratina VSTAR Gold Secret Rare 212/196: $7.53
9. Kyurem VMAX Rainbow Rare 197/196: $6.38
10. Giratina V Full Art 185/196: $6.24

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

1. Pikachu VMAX Character Super Rare TG17/TC30: $35.30
2. Pikachu V Character Super Rare TG16/TC30: $22.46
3. Mew VMAX Black & Gold TG30/TC30: $6.38
4. Pikachu VMAX Black & Gold TG29/TC30: $5.75
5. Boss's Orders Full Art Trainer Supporter TG24/TC30: $5.69

After a big surge in value, Giratina V Alternate Art is dropping a bit in the market. Since we last checked in with Sword & Shield – Lost Origin in June 2023, this card has fallen $31. It remains the third most valuable pull of the Sword & Shield era after Umbreon VMAX Alternate Art and Rayquaza VMAX Alternate Art from Sword & Shield – Evolving Skies. Aerodactyl V Alternate Art also dropped by over $20 and seems to be on its way back down under the $100 mark.
