Article Summary

  • Exploring the current market values of Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield – Lost Origin.
  • Top-valued cards of the set listed with their current market prices.
  • Inclusion of a Trainer Gallery subset within the Pokémon TCG expansion.
  • Insights on value changes of chase cards like Giratina V Alternate Art.

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 August 2022, are doing now in November 2023.

  5. Pikachu VMAX Black & Gold TG29/TC30: $5.31

Giratina V Alternate Art is the second biggest chase card of the entire Sword & Shield era behind Umbreon VMAX Alternate Art from Sword & Shield – Evolving Skies, so its drops are always notable. This month, it fell $23 in value. Aerodactyl V Alternate Art had almost as big of a fall at $19. Dark Patch Gold Secret Rare, which never previously ranked high, shot up to the fifth overall card in the set.
