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 base set, which came out in February 2020, are doing now in December 2023.
Here are the top valued cards of Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield base set with market values observed on TCGPlayer as of this writing:
- Marnie Full Art Trainer Supporter 200/202: $41.53
- Snorlax VMAX Rainbow Rare 206/202: $29.98
- Zacian V Gold Secret Rare 211/202: $14.99
- Marnie Rainbow Rare Trainer Supporter 208/202: $14.51
- Lapras VMAX Rainbow Rare 203/202: $11.93
- Snorlax VMAX 142/202: $11.58
- Quick Ball Gold Secret Rare Trainer Item 216/202: $11.12
- Zamazenta V Gold Secret Rare 211/202: $10.05
- Snorlax V Full Art 197/202: $8.36
- Morpeko VMAX Rainbow Rare 204/202: $8.15
Marnie Full Art Trainer Supporter is the biggest card of the set, and it fell $2 this past month. While this is not an indication of a major incoming drop in value, it is the lowest the card has been all year. This card saw a big spike in value up to a peak of $81 in July 2023 due to a momentary increase of interest in Full Art Trainers, but before that, it was in the $50 area. I see this card ending up permanently between $30 and $50.
