Pokémon TCG Value Watch: Paldean Fates In May 2024

Our monthly Pokémon TCG Value Watch series observes the Shiny-themed cards of Scarlet & Violet - Paldean Fates in May 2024.

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 – Paldean Fates, which came out in January 2024, are doing now in May 2024.

Here are the top valued cards of Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet – Paldean Fates with market values observed on TCGPlayer as of this writing:

1. Shiny Charizard ex Special Illustration Rare 234/091: $108.05
2. Shiny Mew ex Special Illustration Rare 232/091: $81.22
3. Shiny Gardevoir ex Special Illustration Rare 233/091: $48.42
4. Shiny Pikachu 131/091: $44.30
5. Iono Special Illustration Rare Trainer Supporter 237/091: $32.84
6. Shiny Charmander 109/091: $25.28
7. Shiny Charmeleon 110/091: $21.33
8. Shiny Pidgey 196/091: $21.03
9. Shiny Snorlax 202/091: $14.66
10. Arven Special Illustration Rare Trainer Supporter 235/091: $13.93
11. Penny Special Illustration Rare Trainer Supporter 239/091: $12.76
12. Shiny Ditto 201/091: $12.29
13. Koraidon ex Gold Hyper Rare 245/091: $11.91
14. Chien-Pao ex Gold Hyper Rare 242/091: $11.76
15. Shiny Mimikyu 160/091: $11.56

The chase card is creeping up. Going against the expected trend of a drop at this point in time, Shiny Charizard ex Special Illustration Rare increased $10 from its April 2024 value. Outside of this, the cards of this set are just gaining or dropping a few dollars here and there. Our last Shiny set, Shining Fates, stayed quite high for the first few months before a dramatic plummet, so I am keeping a close eye on this. I do not advise anyone to buy singles yet.
