Pokémon TCG Value Watch: Shining Fates In December 2022

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 Shining Fates, which came out in February 2021, are doing now in December 2022.

Here are the top valued cards of Pokémon TCG: Shining Fates with market values observed on TCGPlayer as of this writing. First, the top 10 of the set's subset, the Shiny Vault.

  1. Shiny Charizard VMAX SV107/SV122: $106.30
  2. Shiny Suicune SV022/SV122: $11.95
  3. Shiny Drizzile SV026/SV122: $9.33
  4. Shiny Grimmsnarl VMAX SV117/SV122: $8.21
  5. Shiny Decidueye SV003/SV122: $7.74
  6. Shiny Inteleon SV027/SV122: $7.70
  7. Eternatus V Black & Gold SV121/SV122: $6.72
  8. Shiny Koffing SV076/SV122: $6.22
  9. Shiny Ditto VMAX SV119/SV122: $5.64
  10. Eternatus VMAX Black & Gold SV122/SV122: $5.17

Now, for the top five of the main set:

  1. Skyla Trainer Supporter Full Art 072/072: $7.89
  2. Alcremie VMAX Rainbow Rare 073/072: $4.25
  3. Bird Keeper Trainer Supporter Full Art 065/072: $3.13
  4. Poké Kid Trainer Supporter Full Art 070/072: $2.89
  5. Ball Guy Trainer Supporter Full Art 065/072: $2.09

The Shiny Charizard VMAX is the one to watch. This is of course the chase card of the set but it has been relatively low in value ever since summer 2022 due to the wide availability of Shining Fates. This month, though, the card has gone up in value. I can see this ending up at the same value at the Shiny Charizard V and Charizard Rainbow Rare from Champion's Path in the $150 – $200 range.
