Pokémon TCG Value Watch: Lost Origin In December 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 – Silver Tempest, which came out in September 2022 are doing now in late December 2022.

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: $288.15
2. Aerodactyl V Alternate Art 186/196: $128.32
3. Rotom V Alternate Art 186/196: $45.50

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

1. Pikachu VMAX Character Super Rare TG17/TC30: $49.30
2. Pikachu V Character Super Rare TG16/TC30: $29.05
3. Eternatus VMAX Character Super Rare TG22/TC30: $13.68
4. Nessa Full Art Trainer Supporter TG27/TC30: $11.09
5. Mew VMAX Black & Gold TG30/TC30: $10.59

Whoa. I hate to be right in a case like this, but that's just how it happened. The Giratina V Alternate Art underwent a dramatic upswing in value this month, jumping almost $60.

Outside of the four Alternate Arts, all cards in the main set had dropped under $20 making this a relatively affordable set other than the outliers. The Trainer Gallery has two high-value Pikachu hits. Well, high value for Trainer Gallery cards, which generally fall in under $20 range.
