Pokémon TCG Value Watch: Scarlet & Violet Base In January 2024

Our monthly Pokémon TCG Value Watch series observes Scarlet & Violet base set, the first expansion of the Paldea era, in January 2024.



Article Summary

  • Jan 2024 sees Scarlet & Violet TCG set's top card Miriam Special Rare at $27.28.
  • Market values of cards from March 2023's Pokémon TCG set are gradually falling.
  • The most sought-after chase card from the set originally peaked at $75.
  • Monthly Value Watch helps collectors decide the best time to acquire cards.

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, which came out in March 2023, are doing now in January 2024.
