I’ve been thinking recently how insane pokemon has become. I am just beside myself. I didn’t really look at any pokemon much last year and only because of my regular tuning into E4 did I know that 2025 was a massive boom, arguably even bigger than 2020 (edit date) in many respects.
There are so many examples I have seen recently on even smaller cards that I started looking up again to try and pick up, having decided to look for some cards to shop for after dusting off my list.
Today I’d just like to post some insanity. This seemed to happen overnight. I mean actually overnight. After seeing this…
I went to check, especially since I’ve had this conversation about the coro pika during other booms on this very thread.
Here is the cheapest copy on ebay.
The average copy is $500-600 for heavy play. The lowest NM seems to be around 3k? Most recent sold for 1.5k for a 6.
WHAT HAPPENED PEOPLE. WHAT IS POKEMON ANYMORE. Who is buying this shit? Geeeeez.
Maaaan. Idk guys. Idk. Feeling very conflicted about the value of cards.
