Pokémon TCG Value Watch: Silver Tempest In December 2023

Our monthly Pokémon TCG Value Watch series observes the Neo-themed cards of Sword & Shield - Silver Tempest in December 2023.



Article Summary

  • December 2023 value watch for Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield - Silver Tempest.
  • Lugia V Alternate Art remains the set's chase card, now valued at $130.20.
  • Trainer Gallery subset carries Rayquaza VMAX as its most prized card.
  • Market trends feature rising and falling card values, shaping collector strategy.

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 December 2023.
