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 September 2022, are doing now, two full years after release, in September 2024.

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

  1. Pikachu VMAX Character Super Rare TG17/TC30: $32.01
  2. Pikachu V Character Super Rare TG16/TC30: $22.01
  3. Pikachu VMAX Black & Gold TG29/TC30: $6.01
  4. Eternatus VMAX Character Super Rare TG22/TC30: $5.85
  5. Boss's Orders Full Art Trainer Supporter TG24/TC30: $5.80

After seeing Sword & Shield – Evolving Skies' Umbreon VMAX Alt Art undergo yet another alarming spike in value, I'm soothed a bit to see Giratina V Alternate Art, Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield – Lost Origin's monster chase card, drop $32 this month. Aerodactyl V Alternate Art, on the other hand, was as rock solid as its typing. It didn't even increase or decrease in value by a single dollar.
