Feels like 2 years ago. Cards were plentiful not that long ago. Price was the main talking point. Now the big topic is availabilty. Forget the price, can you find it first?

I think a few more Pikas sold after mine. It’s a card that’ll likely come up for sale again and again.

Thanks gem, can’t recall seeing any 10s after you. Red cheeks yes, but not yellow. I see red cheeks are up right now for 15k. As you just wrote, are you able to find one? It is found on the PSA pop report for the original 1999 game as well. There should be competition for the card. My fear is that they’ve all found themselves stuck in personal collections.

Yellow should be easier to get than red. There’s the fallacy red cheeks is more rare, but not exactly. I think more people buy & hold red under this stance. Yellow should pop up for a price below red and there’s no way they’re all in collections. These were big events.

To confirm… I’m speaking of psa 10 examples for both cards. I haven’t looked at the pop report in ages but I remember both cards being under 50 copies each. And i think most would disagree with you regarding the amount of both product printed but I am in your camp 110%. It is a fallacy. The method which brought the yellow cheeks to consumers made it very difficult to achieve in high grade as well.

sorry for hijacking @justinmew,i am not aware of any private listing sales but i’d be very curious as well. Appx $1500 ebay sales around April were last known to me. if i could buy at the price @jonandek, paid earlier this year, today, i’d do it and i’d guess you would, too. if using my humble opinion only (!), i would feel extremely comfortable buying at 5k right now in the current market even if i wasn’t looking to hold long. aaaaaaand, market thread for me…

there’s one or two…

@gengaranimal - thanks for the additional perspective. Crazy how there were multiples copies of these up for so long & now it’s drying up.

[gengaranimal]

yes yes, makes it very challenging when the available market 10s are not showing themselves publicly. it’s an iconic card and while i doubt is stays a sub 150 pop for terribly long, it’s still a higher tier collector target.

And both at 54 10s a piece. Thanks for researching nish.

Yeah - that’s way too low. The 9 is selling for around or more than that.

But it isn’t base set

Just wait until you discover that there’s value and nostalgia in cards other than base set!

Agree if I saw one for $3k today it would be an insta-buy. I’d probably do $4k. Not sure I would do $5k but I don’t doubt that it would be worth it if you were trying to complete the set, given the low availability.

[gengaranimal]

As you say, availability is really the issue, and what it would take to secure a 10 right now. And if you know it’s one of the main chase cards in one of the earliest WOTC sets, I’d have to think you can consider any new graded 10s zeroed out by new entrants who will most likely hold—esp at sub 10k. Jungle has its own nostalgia, and with what’s going on in Base, the meter has moved in what is thought of as holo set card “expensive.” Jungle 1st ed seems the next logical WOTC to be primed. I prefer the no rarity Jungle cards over first ed to chase, and don’t own a single 10 from this set, but that would be my minimally informed, non-empirically based guess.

I want to says it’s been roughly in the middle between flareon and vaporeon. A flareon I think sold for $2-2.5k and vaporeons almost never sell, I believe I saw an offer on here for $5.5k? So maybe $3.5-4k for jolteon but that’s just a guess

[jonandek]

I just realized I completely mis-responded to this post. Sincere apologies. I don’t know where prices are now for Jolteon now, but I think others have weighed in with some good perspectives. I paid $3k back in March for VAPOREON, best offer accepted “off” ebay. $1k for Jolteon in an ebay auction in more like february timeframe. Prices have moved since then I know.

[mewtuw]

I remember back in February / March someone listed a Vaporeon in a 10 for $550… Needless to say, it sold before I saw it. Someone got an absolute steal.

I remember that. I remember thinking someone just got scammed or the seller didn’t know the price and cost himself quite a bit of money
