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 – 151, which came out in September 2023, are doing now in May 2024.

  14. Pikachu Illustration Rare 173/165: 17.82
  15. Wartortle Illustration Rare 171/165: $17.35

This is the most beloved set of the Scarlet & Violet block so far, and the Charizard card is standing tall in value. Looking at the trajectory of the card, it is falling in value in the longterm. I can see it dropping under $100, as special sets do tend to be overprinted enough that it makes the cards easier to find in the secondary market.
