Not everyone collects PSA10s. I don’t really find it a useful metric anymore since it’s more investohype than anything.
But of course a newer card in the grading era will have more PSA10 than cards in previous eras, especially vintage-mid era. The absolute number though hasn’t really changed much for most of the time though.
Hi all,
I am doing a project for college on Pokemon TCG and the driving factors behind the way the market is at the moment.
I would be very grateful if you could complete the below survey as I am looking for some new respondents : https://forms.gle/nAaHXi9oHSkbgyQSA
The reason I chose this topic is because I do not see a longitudinal study having been done on the pokemon market before, and since covid and possibly the pokemon tcg pocket going live even, the tcg market has gone crazy.
If you do take it, please add something not mentioned in the survey at the end. So far, others have mentioned On grading obsession raffles & rip & ship profit vs passion influencer/vendor manipulation pump-and-dump speculation sealed product going crazy and impact of tcg pocket
if you could complete it, i think your feedback wiould be really useful and I would appreciate it a lot
Thanks
Because
the investor bros dont know these exist in non holo form and think they are getting a deal 
no clue, but i will admit i like the non holo more as i think the art on it is great which is harder to see when holo
I wouldn’t feel too bad for someone who sold that card for nearly $5000 lol
Just 14x over the course of a year. Totally organic price movement, nothing to see here.
PokeBeach posted that the 2025 Trick or Trade set may have exclusive card(s) and the comment section is loosing their cool about scalping. They print more than enough of that set, they should have 1 new card in it.
I swear to god these new-gens…
Yeah they are the worst
For re- wait a goddamn minute…
Some time around mid 2020 I sold this card and it’s Latias counterpart for $200 each because they had increased so much from when I bought them for around $35 each the previous year.
Even early THIS YEAR i managed to buy the latios for 220,-. 2025 has been crazy for semi vintage (past wotc)
The holiday calendar sold out on Pokémon Center in around 24 hours. What’s crazy is at the time, it was the only product on the entite website that had packs in it. Now TPCi will probably overprint this next year since they think it is insanely popular. However, it only sold out so fast because there are no other options.
It’s still in stock on the UK website however the Prismatic bundles and the Leafeon VStar Special Collection sold out it under 30 minutes, Which is a new record from what i have usually experienced ordering from the Pokémon Center online. I was surprised to see they stocked a 4 year old set (Evolving Skies)
This is how much Rayquaza from celebrations is now:
I’m getting completely priced outta this hobby lol.
