Pokémon TCG Value Watch: Silver Tempest in August 2024

Our monthly Pokémon TCG Value Watch series observes the Luga & Alolan Vulpix-themed set Scarlet & Violet - Silver Tempest in August 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: Sword & Shield – Silver Tempest, which came out in November 2022, are doing now in August 2024.

Here are the top valued cards of Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield – Silver Tempest with market values observed on TCGPlayer as of this writing:

1. Lugia V Alternate Art 186/195: $176.49
2. Regidrago V Alternate Art 184/195: $21.74
3. Lugia VSTAR Rainbow Rare 202/195: $20.41
4. Regidrago VSTAR Rainbow Rare 201/195: $17.24
5. Unown V Alternate Art 177/195: $15.24
6. Regidrago VSTAR 136/195: $13.41
7. Lugia VSTAR Gold Secret Rare 211/195: $11.16
8. Alolan Vulpix VSTAR Rainbow Rare 197/195: $10.39
9. Serena Full Art Trainer Supporter 193/195: $10.38
10. Unown VSTAR Rainbow Rare 199/195: $7.30

This Pokémon TCG expansion includes a Trainer Gallery subset. The top cards of this subset are:

1. Rayquaza VMAX Character Super Rare TG20/TG30: $33.88
2. Blaziken VMAX Character Super Rare TG15/TG30: $10.40
3. Blaziken V Character Super Rare TG14/TG30: $8.84
4. Serperior V Character Super Rare TG13/TG30: $5.54
5. Rayquaza VMAX Black & Gold Secret Rare TG29/TG30: $5.24

Since we last checked in with the market of Sword & Shield – Silver Tempest, there has been a drop in value of multiple cards. The most notable is the chase card, Lugia V Alternate Art, which dropped almost $25, losing 1/8 of its value in the last two months. Many of the other cards have dropped a bit as well with the exception of the Regidrago VSTAR, which increased in value on both its standard printing and the Rainbow Rare version.
