Pokemon Market Update

Added: 2026-05-23

[00:00:00]Welcome back to Werver Face Cards. My name is TJ. We have another great market update for you guys today as we are seeing massive, massive movement from Crown Zenith. We'll talk raw prices, graded prices, and sealed products.

[00:00:11]We'll talk about some other sets as well. Make sure you guys watch through all the way to the end cuz we'll be opening some of the newest set, Chaos Rising, at the end of the video. Let's just jump straight into it. We have a little bit of a shakeup at the top chase card of the set. This is the Guiritina Vstar Galleran Gallery number 69, and it has currently overtaken the Mewtwo. at least for the time being as the most expensive Chase card of the set. You can see this card is up an impressive 44% just in the past three months alone. A very very impressive market price of $314, breaking over that $300 mark just recently. However, this card is not done. Check out where it is at. You have two uh three lower listings right now uh at 370 380 and then it's going to be potentially a $400 plus card. So, if this card continues to sell, we could see it move up to $420, uh, potentially even 500 plus dollars. As wild as that is to say, that's just how crazy the current market is. So, the card is looking really good. Obviously, we're at a new all-time high and continuing to climb. A year ago, you could have picked this card up for around $163.

[00:01:17]So, some very, very impressive gains.

[00:01:19]The full percentage hasn't updated here on TCG Player. Once we get a few more sales uh over the coming days, that will update. Keep in mind, very, very low supply on TCG player. We're talking around 18 copies currently for the gold guina. I'm not really surprised to see it seeing some pretty big movement. As far as gold cards go, I do think that this card and part particularly all of the ones from Crown Zenith are the best gold cards we've ever gotten. And kind of in light of what we've been getting from the Mega Evolution era, I think these gold cards just really outclass those ones by a mile. So, I'm not surprised to see these ones uh doing really good. sealed. Also getting very expensive for Crown Zenith. We'll talk about in a second. Uh, real quick, I wanted to jump over to Double Hollow.

[00:02:01]So, we could take a look at the PSA 10 pricing. This is the three-month chart for this card in a PSA 10. You can see 3 months ago around $400 and then it's just been climbing. I mean, 57% gain in the PSA 10 uh pricing. More recently in April, uh, getting around the $600 mark and then holding that in May. And we did see a little bit of a bump up more recently. Average of the last five sales around $6.90 and we had one sale most recently at around $750.

[00:02:29]So the Guiritina Vstar looking really really good. The raw copy is only a few dollars ahead of the Mewtwo currently.

[00:02:37]And this is the Mewtwo Var GG44. Another great card. He's where he's fighting Charizard. Seen a tiny dip. Uh it was at 300 just over barely and now it's at around 294. Uh you got a few listings lower than that. uh we're talking a handful and then it goes up to potentially the $300 mark. So, this card is still looking really good. It's holding up really great. It's just a tiny bit down from its all-time high. I mean, 190% growth over the past year is absolutely extraordinary. A year ago, this was a $100 card. I remember when this card was much, much cheaper, even $100. So, it has performed very well.

[00:03:13]The set has performed astronomically well. So, the Mewtwo fallen into the second place, at least for the time being. It's going to have some work to do to catch up to the guerotina. There's 46 copies available on TCG player. So supply is a lot higher for the Mewtwo.

[00:03:27]And we're going to back go back to Double Hollow again for the PSA 10 pricing. Uh 3 months ago, sub $400 in a PSA 10. Now we're seeing it at around 685. Uh kind of similar to what we saw from the Guarantina average of the last five sales around 727. Uh so you have a high one as high as 800 and then even 750 725. So, maybe a little bit more expensive than the guerotina in a PSA 10, uh, but pretty close as far as the 10 prices go. Now, we're seeing some crazy movement on the sealed side as well. So, this is the Elite Trainer Box, but this is the Pokemon Center. And they did it a little different back then.

[00:04:04]Pokemon Center, Elite Trainer Box Plus.

[00:04:07]It's a little bit different, but we're at new all-time highs. And this box is going crazy right now. Current market price, very expensive. I mean, $575.

[00:04:17]Most recent sales 620. Check out where the lowest listeds are at. 720 and then 750. I mean, we're a handful away from potentially getting to 900 and even $1,000. Look where the listed median price is. The listed median price on this box is $1,000. And there's only 15 available. So, this is going to looks like 1K pretty uh maybe sooner rather than later. As far as this goes, a year ago, sub $300 box, 271%.

[00:04:46]So, the PCETB is going to continue to climb. Looks like it's going to make another leg up here uh as it has just low supply. The demand isn't quite as high. It's obviously a very expensive, a little bit more unique uh kind of box, but it looks like it's going to continue to climb in value. Crown Zenith is such a top tier set. Uh we're seeing very similar numbers percentage-wise on the standard Elite Trainer Box as well.

[00:05:11]You can see this box uh broke over the $300 mark back here in March. Had a little bit of a drop off to around 297 and now it's back up to 330. You will see lowest listed. You have one right there at around 340 and then it goes up to uh 380 and then this is once again another handful of sales away from a $400 elite trainer box. Listed medium prices at $450. a year ago. $160 for the Crown Zenith Elite Trainer Box.

[00:05:42]And then lastly, but not least, the booster bundles have also performed extremely well. We're about to see a $200 booster bundle for Crown Zenith. If you've been around the hobby, you know why that's kind of a little bit wild.

[00:05:55]These were pretty affordable. And uh even I mean, comparatively now, I mean, even look at last year, talking around a $7,8 $80 box. Current market price 192.

[00:06:04]Now you got a handful of listings right there just barely below $200. So Crown Zenith Booster Bundle about to crack the $200 mark as well. Crown Zenith as a set overall looking really really great.

[00:06:16]Some of the best percentage gains that you could have had over the past year uh is picking up some Crown Zenith sealed product. A lot of the other boxes from the set doing really well. The CN sky, tons of other great boxes uh performing really well. I couldn't touch on every single one in this video, but I did want to touch on uh kind of these ones as they are hitting some pretty big milestones. Uh then real quick, I wanted to jump over to Double Hollow once again for the daily brief. This is one of their premium analytic features and I like touching on it because it gives you like this is for Saturday, May 23rd. It gives you just a little look into the market on a specific day. We got the top 100 trace cards up 8%, top 100 modern sealed up around four almost 5%. They got the card on the rise. Looks like the 151 Zard might be seeing some movement up around 7%. Um, their top card worth grading is the 151 Blastoise. So, you can expect I mean, if you can hit a 10 from a raw price of 142, you can expect around $520 in profit. Um, the social po pulse uh my thing is in the way. Let me move it over a little bit. The Rayqu Rayquaza V uh which is a another nice card from Evolving Skies up around 76%.

[00:07:22]We have that Storm Emerald set coming out. So that makes a lot of sense why people are talking about that card. Uh and then a their AI picks which I think are always interesting. Got the Charizard V-Max from Shining Fates as one of the pickups. And then this is an odd one for consider selling but Rapid Strike Ursu V um Japanese kind of random uh but then they have on the forecast for the 90-day outlook uh the Ldios from Surging Sparks uh and the Gardavore right here in a PSA 10 uh from Mega Evolution. So, high confidence on both of those cards. So, that's the uh the daily brief from Double Hollow. I just think it's interesting to kind of see uh the little daily brief. Now, we're going to go back to Charizard for a little bit. We'll talk singles and sealed for Charizard. This is the Chase card from Obsidian Flames S number 223. It's up 67% over the past 3 months. Let's see if we take a zoom out. A year ago, a $55 card.

[00:08:19]It did hit around at 126 back in September, but it's at a new high of 136 lowest listed. You got just a few below the current market price, but just barely. And then I mean, we could be seeing it get closer and closer to potentially 140, maybe even the 150 mark. I still think this is kind of one of those more underrated cards. I think it's kind of a cool art style. Uh, but it is up pretty massive on the year 144%.

[00:08:43]Uh, on the graded side, we have seen a pretty big increase, 46% in PSA 10 pricing over the past three months from a $500 card to more recently in the upper 700s. You can see $87 average of the last five sales. So, $800 800 and one as high as $820 for the Charizard from Obsidian Flames. We've also been seeing some movement on Champions Path Elite Trainer Boxes. I think as far as a display display display piece, this is a nice looking ETB. By the way, if you want to go back in time to Champions Path, obviously you got Charizard on the box. It's a pretty cool uh looking ETB and it's up 42% over the past 3 months, pushing it up over that $200 mark to around 240. You'll see about 94% on the year, $123 box a year ago. A lot of that growth coming a little bit more recently. You can see there's been an increase uh in the amount of buying pressure on this box. So that is due to uh the the price increase. Uh we've seen 76 boxes currently listed and the median price is really high at 430. So it looks like this is a slower selling box uh usually, but we're not that many sales away from it potentially taking a pretty big leap. Uh, so we're going to keep an eye on. We'll have to monitor that one a little bit, but Champions Path taking a pretty big leap up and could just continue to climb over time. Uh, then we have the Charizard UPC, not the new one.

[00:10:08]Talking the Sword and Shield era box.

[00:10:10]Uh, seeing a decent dollar increase over the past few months from sub 500 around very expensive still 480 to current market price 575 and lowest listed are pretty much right there in that 575 range. We're not that far away. few sales and it'll be at around the $600 mark. It's got a pretty decent year chart as well. It's up 87%.

[00:10:32]A year ago, around $300. There was a a point a little less than a year at 290.

[00:10:38]So, uh this is still one of those underrated boxes. It's got Evolving Skies. It's got Fusion Strike. It's got top tier promos. I still think that there is still some bigger upside for the this Charizard UPC, but still looking good. 87% on the year. Uh is very, very good. Uh then we have some singles from we're going to look at black bolt and white flare. This is the rushum the black white rare card number 173. Uh it's up 26% to around $440.

[00:11:04]Another one that's seeing a little bit of low supply on TCG player right now.

[00:11:08]If you take a zoom out, you can see this card out the gate was as high as $480 and it's coming off of its all-time low.

[00:11:16]There's a lot of cards that were falling over time, hitting all-time lows, and now they're seeing some pretty good bouncebacks. as they hit that trampoline of that all-time low and they are just shooting up in price. So, if you time this perfectly, you could have picked this card up for around $340 and you'd see uh about a $100 increase on that in just a a few short months. And looks like this one is continuing to climb.

[00:11:38]Lowest listed closer to around $480. So, continuing to rise right there on the restroom, uh the black white rarity. On the graded side, we've seen a pretty solid increase. I mean, uh, a massive increase right here. We're talking to around 758 average of last four sales.

[00:11:55]Actually, that is not true. This is glitched right now. I looked at this earlier. Uh, this is bugged uh on Double Hollow for whatever reason. It does happen sometimes. This is what we have to go off of. 120% increase uh on the PSA 10 pricing cuz I did double check these, by the way. I went actually to eBay to make sure and verify these. Uh, it's not showing the most recent prices.

[00:12:14]It was a $700 10 3 months ago. Now we're seeing it at around 1,600. And yes, I did confirm this once again. Uh for whatever reason, sometimes this happens.

[00:12:23]It's not able to pull up the most accurate information. U but yeah, this is accurate. This chart at around $1,600. So the cards uh essentially over doubled in a PSA 10 over the past 3 months. So very very impressive there.

[00:12:37]Uh yeah, 1,600 is kind of crazy. And we're seeing similar numbers from the Zem. This is the black white rare number 172. This is from Black Bolt up around 37% in the past 3 months. Current market price just shy of $500. B once again bouncing off of that all-time low. If you were to time this perfect at around 350, uh you'd be up quite a bit. It looks like it's been is this this is the new official new all-time high at at $491 and about to be $500. So, Zechrom a little bit more valuable than the restroom, but you're seeing kind of similar charts, maybe a little bit different, but the timing very similar, bouncing off of all-time lows uh to new highs. Most recent sale 585. I mean, we're going to see this card potentially continue to run here as it has low supply on TCG player. This one, uh, same thing on Double Hollow as well. You're talking 107% increase in PSA 10s over the past 3 months. This was a still very expensive $915 card in a 10. And now we're seeing most recent sales in the $18 to $1,900 range. Once again, uh this average price right here is not accurate for whatever reason. Uh it's not updating properly. Uh but I did double check. I verified these. $18 to $1,900 have been the most recent sales on eBay for this card in a PSA 10. So very, very impressive. Absolutely crazy what both of these cards are doing. On the graded side, we mentioned Gueritina at the beginning of the video and we have a little bit of an update on the Lost Origin Gear Guerina. This is card number 186. You want to be a little cautious with this one. It's kind of a different It's not like your typical sort of buyout with an illustration rare. So, a movement off of something like this is a little different, but you will notice this massive uh increase in sales. U let's see if it was on one specific day. If you go to the one month, it was on May 2nd, 12 copies, which is not really a ton, but for a low supply card like this, it kind of is. Uh it's pushed the price up uh to over the $800 mark more recently. So, just be a little cautious with that. A lot of the times though, the unfortunate reality is when there is a buyout, uh especially on a big card like this that's low supply, it does the it does just increase the price. So, we're at a new one-year high uh for this card. It's not looking the best percentage-wise as most of everything else we've covered. It's only up 51%. That's still impressive. It's kind of Isn't that wild to think that we're at a time where we go, "Wow, it's only up 51% over the past year." Um, but that's just where the current market's at. A year ago, around 540. It did hit a low of 490 in the summertime of last year. So, it's around 820 raw. You will see lowest listed all higher than that.

[00:15:20]So, be a little cautious. So, you're talking 2 at 850, then potentially 1K raw. I do think that with the strength of the current market, that is a possibility. Uh, but you'd think that would take a little bit more time to get there. So, this is one that we're going to need to monitor a little bit more closely. Monitor uh monitor a little closely. Shinji Illustrated, obviously.

[00:15:39]So, we'll keep a close eye on this one.

[00:15:41]Be a little cautious with it. Uh, it is a nice looking card. Uh, one of my favorite alt arts by the way. Uh, if we jump over to Double Hollow, 53% increase for this card. It's gained $1,000 of value in a PSA 10 over the past three months. So, it's performed uh much better on the graded side. Three months ago, it still an crazy expensive $2,000 card. Now, we're talking over 3K average five of last sales and this one is accurate. Uh almost 3,200. You can see one sale as high as 35 uh but 32 34 31 and then uh one a little lower at around 2600. So, the Gueritina V from Lost Origin, the alternate art, is performing really well on the graded side. Looks like maybe the RAW side might just be catching up. Uh, so we'll have to monitor that, like I said. And then lastly, a little bit of an update on one of my favorite promos possibly of all time. I don't know. I'd have to do a little bit of a ranking, but I absolutely love this card. Uh, this is SM 191. I get uh the first movie vibes 100%. You got Mewtwo and Mew with the Laughing Mew. It's up 50% over the past 3 months. It's just continuing to rise.

[00:16:50]Current market price 337. Take a zoom out. It's at a new high. Uh previous high was 311 in October. A year ago around a $200 card. So 64% on the year.

[00:17:01]Um looking pretty solid on the graded side. We're talking uh 39 almost 40% increase over the past 3 months. It was around $1,200 in a PSA 10. Now we're seeing a new high of around 1,600. Uh, last five average sales around 1,500 for the MW and Mewtwo in a PSA 10. This is SM number 191. A great great promo from the Sun and Moon era. I want tag teams back so bad. I think eventually we're going to get it. It's probably not going to be for a long time, but I really really like tag teams. I think they're super fun. So, uh, one of my favorite promos is up. This is still unfortunately a card I don't own. Uh, it's getting very very expensive. Uh, I would love to own this card, especially in a 10, but we'll have to wait and see.

[00:17:44]got a we'll see if we can make that happen at some point in the future. I really like I really do like this card.

[00:17:48]It's just it I think artwise it's top tier. Uh so that brings us to the end of the video. We're going to rip our first Chaos Rising packs. Uh we haven't opened anything. We were able to get kind of lucky. Uh we went out to our local Walmart and Target yesterday and we were able to hit uh looks like our wall my local Walmart for whatever reason I guess released ETBs and stuff. Um, not on Friday. They did it on Thursday. So, I was wasn't able to get any ETBs from Walmart, but I was able to get five packs. Uh, which, hey, at this point, I'll take some packs at MSRP. We can rip them on the channel. Super happy. But at Target, there was a line forming. Um, adorable Vulpix.

[00:18:32]There was a line forming before the store, an hour, over an hour before the store had even opened. Uh, and I'm in a pretty small town, so it was kind of surprising to see that for this set. Uh, we we got there about 30 minutes before opening and I was like halfway through the line uh by the time it was done forming. And I was I was able to hit an ETB and some of uh some of the other products as well, booster bundle and stuff. So, we'll have some Chaos Rising packs to open on the channel. So, we were able to hit uh we hit our first EX here, uh the gorgeous EX. So, honestly, just happy to be opening something other than Perfect Order. Uh, just because our luck has been so abysmal for Perfect Order. We are hoping that Chaos Rising treats us at least even a little bit better.

[00:19:22]So, I'm going to be optimistic going into it. And at least we get to see some new cards.

[00:19:27]I I have been appreciating the arts. I mean, even on on the commons and uncommons. I mean, look at this ninetailes. This is a really cool looking card.

[00:19:35]So, some new art is nice to see. I do like the Tauros.

[00:19:39]Let's see the Froaky. Froaky reverse.

[00:19:42]Adorable. Xernius. I do I want that Xernius. We'll have to wait and see. All right, last pack for the day. We'll continue to open some more at the end uh of the upcoming videos. It's actually hard to have the self-control to not just open them all right now. Uh but I like to do it at the end of the video.

[00:19:59]So, last pack. Maybe we can get some last pack magic here. Um, these ones came from I think these were sleeve packs.

[00:20:06]We're going to work through some of the sleeve packs. Then we'll get to the booster bundles and then uh we will be opening an ETB as well. So, Sligu. Oh, yes. Let's go. Oh, man. I'm totally here for it. I I actually like this card.

[00:20:20]It's not It's not super valuable. Um, and it's offc center, which is totally fine. We're not grading it. We're just going to throw it in the binder. Uh, the Crobat illustration. I actually really like Crobat a lot. Uh, so I will take that. It's nice to pull a new illustration rare. I'm totally here for it. Uh, keep in mind Chaos Rising is a smaller set. So, pull rates for the illustration rares not going to be too difficult overall. We don't have pull rate data exactly yet. They could have changed some things. Uh, I don't think they really probably will have at this point. Um, but hey, our first opening for Chaos Rising, I'm going to take that as a success. Happy to have that Crowbat card. Um, I really do like that card.

[00:20:55]I'm sitting here like looking at it. Uh, anyways, it is a it is a super fun card.

[00:20:59]So hopefully you guys enjoyed that market update. Uh it was very much Crown Zenith uh towards the first half and then some some Charizard stuff and uh Black Bolt White Flare. Um but that's just uh I think it's a good overall market update between raw uh raw graded and sealed product. So that's all I have for you guys in this one. Thank you so much for watching. I'll catch you guys in the next one. And remember, it was never a phase.
