Pokémon TCG Value Watch: Lost Origin In October 2023
Pokémon TCG Value Watch observes the Origin Forme Giratina-themed expansion Sword & Shield - Lost Origin in October 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 August 2022, are doing now in October 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: $279.53
- Aerodactyl V Alternate Art 186/196: $104.11
- Rotom V Alternate Art 186/196: $27.43
- Giratina VSTAR Rainbow Rare 186/196: $19.19
- Galarian Perrserker V Alternate Art 186/196: $17.67
- Giratina VSTAR Gold Secret Rare 186/196: $13.40
- Aerodactyl VSTAR Rainbow Rare 199/196: $11.26
- Giratina V Full Art 186/196: $9.43
- Giratina VSTAR 131/196: $9.38
- Colress's Experiment Full Art Trainer Supporter 190/196: $9.08
This Pokémon TCG expansion includes a Trainer Gallery subset. The top cards of this subset are:
- Pikachu VMAX Character Super Rare TG17/TC30: $34.23
- Pikachu V Character Super Rare TG16/TC30: $25.58
- Mew VMAX Black & Gold TG30/TC30: $7.05
- Nessa Full Art Trainer Supporter TG27/TC30: $6.73
- Pikachu VMAX Black & Gold TG29/TC30: $6.21
Giratina V Alternate Art, the set's main chase card, has fallen $20 this past month. I see this remaining $200+ but certainly continuing to fall in the coming months. Most of the lower level hits slightly increased in value since we last checked in, but not by a noticeable amount.
