Pokémon TCG Value Watch: Lost Origin In February 2023

Pokémon TCG Value Watch: Lost Origin notes the Giratina Alternate Art chase card remaining incredibly high in value in February 2023.


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 – Lost Origin, which came out in September 2022, are doing now in February 2023.

Giratina V Alternate Art, the main chase card of this set and the second-most valuable card of the overall Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield era, remains incredibly steady down to the dollar. Almost down to the cent. In the Trainer Gallery subset, the Pikachu VMAX Character Super Rare has risen in value by a few dollars, which makes this one worth watching.
