Pokémon TCG Value Watch: Vivid Voltage In June 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 Sword & Shield – Vivid Voltage, which came out in November 2020 are doing now in June 2022.

  1. Pikachu VMAX Rainbow Rare 188/185: $163.75
  2. Pikachu V Full Art 170/185: $17.43
  3. Nessa Full Art Trainer Supporter 183/185: $11.56
  4. Pokémon Center Lady Full Art Trainer Supporter 185/185: $11.50

  9. Togekiss VMAX Rainbow Rare 191/185: $9.03
  10. Coalossal VMAX Rainbow Rare 189/185: $8.53
  11. Leon Rainbow Rare Trainer Supporter 195/185: $7.76
  12. Shiny Oranguru Gold Secret Rare 199/185: $7.67
  13. Shiny Galarian Obstagoon Gold Secret Rare 198/185: $7.23
  14. Galarian Darumaka VMAX Rainbow Rare 187/185: $6.92
  15. Beauty Rainbow Rare Trainer Supporter 194/185: $6.56

Wow. The once pricey cards of Vivid Voltage continue to drop in value. We see another significant drop on the Rainbow Rare Pikachu, with this card that held steady at over $300 for some time dropping another $14. The Full Art Pikachu, the second biggest hit of the set, dropped another $4 meaning that no card in the set after the big chase card is over $20. A year ago, even the suggestion of Vivid being in this place would be absurd. It has now been reprinted enough to create this great and affordable set, but I personally wouldn't wait. With prices absurdly low, completionist collectors may want to act.
