Pokémon TCG Value Watch: Lost Origin In March 2023
Pokémon TCG Value Watch: Lost Origin in March 2023 notes the Giratina V Alternate Art going up in value with huge, meaningful spikes.
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 March 2023.
Here are the top valued cards of Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield – Lost Origin with market values observed on TCGPlayer as of this writing:
- Giratina V Alternate Art 186/196: $299.99
- Aerodactyl V Alternate Art 186/196: $115.13
- Rotom V Alternate Art 186/196: $44.34
- Galarian Perrserker V Alternate Art 186/196: $36.79
- Giratina VSTAR Rainbow Rare 186/196: $22.58
- Giratina VSTAR Gold Secret Rare 186/196: $18.66
- Colress's Experiment Full Art Trainer Supporter 186/196: $11.70
- Aerodactyl VSTAR Rainbow Rare 199/196: $11.64
- Giratina V Full Art 186/196: $11.16
- Hisuian Goodra VSTAR Rainbow Rare 202/196: $10.31
This Pokémon TCG expansion includes a Trainer Gallery subset. The top cards of this subset are:
- Pikachu VMAX Character Super Rare TG17/TC30: $53.20
- Pikachu V Character Super Rare TG16/TC30: $33.43
- Mew VMAX Black & Gold TG30/TC30: $12.07
- Pikachu VMAX Black & Gold TG29/TC30: $10.77
- Eternatus VMAX Character Super Rare TG22/TC30: $10.65
If you were waiting for the Giratina V Alternate Art to drop in value, I have bad news for you. It has, instead, increased by $30 this past month. The Aerodactyle V Alt Art has dropped though and will likely drop more. I don't see it remaining over $100 forever.
In the Trainer Gallery subset, Eternatus VMAX Character Super Rare has lost just under a third of its value in the past month.
