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: Scarlet & Violet – Obsidian Flames, which came out in August 2023, are doing now in January 2024.
Here are the top valued cards of Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet – Obsidian Flames with market values observed on TCGPlayer as of this writing:
- Tera Charizard ex Special Illustration Rare 223/197: $58.45
- Tera Charizard ex Gold Hyper Rare 228/197: $23.59
- Tera Charizard ex Full Art 228/197: $16.68
- Tera Charizard ex 125/197: $15.19

The card values of this Tera Charizard-themed set largely stayed the same this month. The four Charizard ex cards remain at the top of this set's secondary market, which is no surprise. The only consistent surprise is how low the set's ultimate chase card, Tera Charizard ex Special Illustration Rare, is in value. Compared to other similar Charizards, this card is underperforming consistently.
