Pokémon TCG Value Watch: Silver Tempest In February 2024

Our monthly Pokémon TCG Value Watch series observes the Luga & Alolan Vulpix-themed set Scarlet & Violet - Silver Tempest in February 2024.



Article Summary

  • February 2024 sees Silver Tempest's Lugia V Alternate Art top value at $117.77.
  • Lugia V Alternate Art’s price drops hint at a possible lower market value soon.
  • Trainer Gallery subset features a high-value Rayquaza VMAX Character card.
  • Monthly Pokémon TCG Value Watch examines the trajectory of card prices.

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 February 2024.

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

  1. Rayquaza VMAX Character Super Rare TG20/TG30: $31.12
  2. Blaziken V Character Super Rare TG14/TG30: $8.50
  3. Blaziken VMAX Character Super Rare TG15/TG30: $7.99
  4. Friends in Galar Full Art Trainer Supporter TG23/TG30: $7.96
  5. Serperior V Character Super Rare TG13/TG30: $7.75

The set's chase card, Lugia V Alternate Art, dropped $12 in value this month. Could it be reaching an all-time low? It would be great to see this card under $100 for completionists, but it's hard to predict if that will actually happen.
