This update captures the peak of a speculative cycle where childhood nostalgia is being aggressively commodified into a high-volatility asset class. It highlights a market currently driven more by financial FOMO than the intrinsic value of the hobby itself.

POKEMON MARKET MONDAY! Weekly Investing & Collecting Market Update!Added:
Welcome back to another Pokemon Market Monday, home of the OG weekly market updates where every Monday morning we go through last week's sales of sealed Pokemon products and Pokemon cards that are currently going up in price. And we do also covering big Pokemon news that cards are set to get revealed. And we do have to do the question of the day. So for today's question, what Pokemon are you getting rid of? Lapras or Aerodactyl. And we do have to give a quick thanks to our video sponsor real quick and that is Platinum Protectors.
If you guys need cases for any type of collectible, Platinum Protectors, they got you covered. They got cases for action figures, comic books, diecast, trading cards, video games, they got it all. And when it comes to trading cards, they have so many different options.
They got cases that are a couple dollars a case or they got the really nice thick acrylics with the magnetic tops. So definitely check them out. I'll have all the links in the description. And of course, if you guys want to try out Tag for your first time, click my link. Use the code beer 10. You get 10% off. And same with PSA. If you guys want to try out PSA for your first time, click my link. Use the code beer 25 and you get $25 off your very first submission. And I will be at Trading Card Con May 1st through the 3rd at the Hilton. This is going to be a crazy show. Coupe, beard Dad, all that. And I'm going to be posting my vending schedule very soon.
All right, let's get into it. There are so many things moving up in price. It is actually kind of crazy, but celebrations is not one of them. Not really a ton of new sales from last week. ETB still right around 330. The UPC is a little over a,000. We got a couple sales at 1,100. And the Pokemon Center ETB is still the same price, a little over five. All right, let's hop to evolving skies. Kind of the same thing with the evolving, too. You know, we got a couple booster box sales now at 27 and 2,800 and the regular ETBs getting close to $600.
All right, next we have Crown Zenith.
So, I want to check the C and Sky Premium. This thing's still doing work.
That's sold for this 325, 308, 320. Ton of them at 320.
And Pokemon Center ETB market price 517 that sold 558, 555, 610.
And that regular ETB market price 315 kind of leveling out last 308 320 four of them at 350 but most of them are right around 300.
What else we got? The Gallerian Moltres 10 market price 118 and the premium figure collection. This is the EMental one. Last sold for this one 299 255 250. Decent amount of sales too. We're getting a couple per day. All right we got 151. Check that booster bundle because that dipped down to 160 but went right back up. Now I sold 160 199 188 199 200 200 190 and we got the regular 151 ETB.
Last sold for this one 628 640 658 Pokemon Center ETB.
I think this is still the same leveling out right around $1,300 to $1,400.
Oh yeah, and by the way, I am not at home obviously. I am in Indianapolis at the Collector's Palooa show. It's been an awesome show, honestly. That's about it for 151. Next, we have Prismatic Evolutions, the ETB market price 160.
Finally starting to slow down a little bit. I don't think it's going to drop down too much more cuz we got a decent reprint. The binder collection now getting really close to $100. Market price 90. And got to check that Pokemon Center ETB. Last sold for the Prismatic PC ETB 555, 534, 529, 570. So that is slowing down as well.
Surprise box 60 bucks. And the SPC, see if we got any crazy sales for this one cuz it dropped. Now let's 329, 340.
Yeah, it was at 386, dropped down to 322, and now back up to about 350. All right, next we have Destin Rivals booster bundle still slowly climbing.
Market price $68.
And the regular ETB actually dropped down in price just a little bit. Kind of leveling out. Last sold all for this one now is $220.
Pokemon Center ETV also kind of slowing down. Last sold for this one 552 550 540.
And the booster box market price 575 almost the same price as a PCB but yet this box was $100 more originally. This was at $595. Now that sold 500 500 594 599. So technically coming down in price a little bit with those new sales but nothing crazy. All right. Next we have Obsidian Flames Booster Box. This was at 297. Just doing work still. Last sold 380, 388, 390, 385. Even sets like Vivid Voltage are still doing pretty good.
Last sold for Vivid down 285, 297, 300.
Next, Journey Together. This is not the enhanced one. This was at 250. Now, last sold 300, 295, 276, and 280. And we have some ETBs. We got the regular Obsidian Flames ETV. This is at 160 bucks. Now last sold 279, 280, bunch at 277.
And we have these surging sparks. A lot of the ETBs are going up a lot faster than the booster boxes right now because booster boxes are just so expensive. The next best thing to buy is an ETB and they're much cheaper. Surging was at 75.
Now that sold 98, 94, 99, 100.
Next we have the regular black bolt ETB.
This was at 80. Now last sold 127, 120, 117. Next we have the White Flare ETB.
Little bit cheaper. Last sold 113, 104, 112.
Next, the regular Ascended Heroes ETB was at 112. Now last sold 146, 155. We got 14 of them at 155. I have a feeling this ETB is going to reach $200 very quickly.
Next, the regular Pokémon Go. See, these are all regular ETBs and they're still doing work. Was at 100 bucks. Now let's sold 137, 136, 135, and 130. Next, the regular Palday Evolve ETV was at 125.
Now, last sold 185, 188, and 170.
Next, we have some Pokemon Center ETBs.
We got Journey Together was at 140. We got sales now at 200, 199, 195.
And we got that Ascended Heroes Pokemon Center ET was at 265.
We got sales now 425, 450, 530, 480.
Next we have the Obsidian Flames Pokemon Center ETB was at 59 bucks. Now that sold 695, 690, 694, and 680.
And we got the Surging Sparks Pokemon Center ETB. This was at 195. Now last sold 285, 275, 270, 290. I think this box was so underrated. Pikachu on the box and the promo is solid. Next, we got that Mega Charizard XUPC. Was at $138.
Now, last sold 212, 200, 209, 215.
Now, we got some cards. We got the Piplup illustration from Fantasma Flames. Those was at $10. Now, last sold 14, 13, 15. Someone messaged me and said they bought like a hundred of these. So, that's probably going to make the price go up. Next, we have the Ethan's Tyloion. Was at 22 bucks. Now let's sell 26 34 28. I think this thing deserves to be a $50 $60 card. It's also in Destin Rivals and it's one of the best IRS we got with Tyloian who's pretty popular.
Next we have the Metagross finally getting some love. Was at 19 bucks now last sold 30 33 and 26.
Next the Backax Caliber is making another move. This card got very expensive before and it was at $17. Now last sold 26, 29, 28, and 33.

It's kind of wild. Next, the Latio from Sergeian Sparks was at 23. Now last sold 31, 35, 32, 28.
And the Missy's Lapras was at $22.
Now last sold 35 37 29 26 and we have the Riolu from Scarlet Valley base was at 23. We got sales now at 3941 37 and we have the Dusclops from Shroud of Fable was at 24 bucks. Now last sold 59 4745 and the Ralts from Scott Valid Base dropped down to 25. We got sales now at 4945.

And the Persian from Shadow of Fable.
Such a nice card. Was at 41 bucks. Now sold 51 65 55.
And the Chanse, one of the best IRS we've also gotten. So many gen one Pokemon. And if you're a Chansancy collector, you got to get it. If you're a Ditto collector, you got to get it. If you're a Psyduck collector, you got to get it. If you're a Snorlax collector, I mean, there's just so much going for this card. This was at $28. Now, let's for this card is 4748.
We got a couple sales at $75, but most of them are in the 40s. And the Drowsy is also going crazy. Basically, any single genuine Pokemon, doesn't matter what set it's from, is going up in price. This is at $31. Now, that sold 50, 65, 73, and 60.

Next, the Ze SIR was at about $191.
Now that sold 239, 242, 248, 240, and the Glacion from Prismatic was at 172. Now that sold 225, 221, 293, and the Pikachu from Ascended. So, we had a bunch of buyouts over the weekend and a ton of Ascended Heroes cars just went crazy and they had a bunch of crazy listings, but don't fall for those. I see a lot of people start buying them and stuff and they panic, but it's just someone trying to manipulate the market.
This is at $331 now. I sold $440, $427, 525, $440.
And we can get it shipped right now for $485.
Next, the Team Rockets Mewtwo was at 277. Now, that sold 450 400. One random sale at $1,100.

Next, the Mega Dragonites. Last sold for this is the SR was 650, 769, 770.
Another one at 800. We got one with a picture at 8.95.
And the Pikachu in the forest. So, this is the card that just had a ton of crazy sales. So, it was at $500. Now, last sold, 1200, 1149, 990. And we were actually just talking about how we think this Pikachu card could potentially take the top spot and beat the Gengar in this set. The lowest listed now is $1,200.
And we have the Mega Gengar here. This was at $822.
Now that sold 1270, 1275, 1312, 1380.

And the rainbow Pikachu from Vivid Voltage was at 138. Now last sold 175 199.
Another one at 199 180. This card is actually very tough to pull too. We got a couple high sales here at 299 248 and 220.
Next. So many glaring gallery cards are going up in price. The Mewtwo is going insane.
That is lightly played.
But yeah, check that out. Was that 170?
Now that sold 282, 300, 299, 275.
Wow.
And the Giggerina Vstar market price is now 240 with a couple high sales. Arus is getting up there. Market price 148.
You know, both the Diaga and the Palky are now well over 100. Well, Pel is barely over 100, but still. Dark Right.
V Star is getting close to 100 now. I hate that it just starts off with lightly played. So stupid. What was that? 40 now. That sold 85, 100, 99, 96.
Wow. Tons of sales in the 80s and 90s.
It is a super super sick card, but I mean dark cry is not the most popular Pokemon. Leafeon V star market price $78. The Sleepy Mew market price 71.
Deoxys market price 65. The Glacion now is 61. The Ente is ahead of Suicun that is not allowed. Market price 5847.
Market price for the Suicun is 5817.
Of course, you know, we're going to have a few higher sales in the market price.
And the Pikachu with the leaf non-extured market price is 50 bucks.
Michael V about 50. Deoxys now is in the mid-40s. I mean just every card is just going up in price now. Even the non-textured Lapras market price is 20 bucks. And we have some trainer gallery cards. The Rayquaza is on the move again.
This was at $100 for a while. Now this sold 170 169. Another one at 170 and 165.
And the Star Me still right around 100.
But the Pikachu V with red in the background. That is now over $100. Last sold 100, 105, 97, 127, and 115. And we got a couple more ones that are really close to 100. We got the Umbreon V-Max, market price $99. We got the P2 V-Max now, market price 94. And honestly, I feel like these cards deserve to be at least 100 bucks. They are such nice cards. They're just a little bit easier to pull than like actual alternate arts.
Mimikyu V market price is now $75.
Garchan V is getting close to 70.
Sylveon in the mid60s. The Umbreon V in the mid60s. The Mimikyu Vmax about 60 bucks. So yeah, just definitely check your prices if you're going to list anything or buy anything cuz stuff is just moving like crazy. And we got some alternate arts. I still think this is one of the most underrated alternate arts. This art is actually based off a super famous art like the Grayfeld Pikachu and the Scream Punch promos.
Next we have the origin form DiGav alternate art. Love this card. It's actually based off a super famous art just like the Grreyfeld hat and you know some of the screen cards. Some of the most expensive cards we have. This was at $70. Getting a little love. Now this sold 74 85 78 and yeah a bunch in the mid70s but I could see this card being $120 card. Next we have the Mu VMAX from Fusion making another little run. was at 180. Now last sold 221, 191 and 220.
Bunch at 200 bucks. And the Espeon V still slowly climbing up. Last sold 229 for a lightly played. What? Others 240, 210, 225, and 198. Next, the sleepy tar was at 195. We got sales now at 250, 325, 250, 286, 260.
And the Umbreon V was at 298. We got sales now at 340, 342, 388, 350. This car was so expensive. It got all the way up to $687.
You could buy it for half the price that it was at. And I could easily see this thing climbing back up. Maybe not quite that high, but pretty close. Next, we have the Leafeon V-Max alternate art was at 320. Now that sold 370, 350, and 345.
And the Sylveon V-Max from Evolving was at 317. We got sales now at 378, 320, 399, 400. And the Lugia V going back up was at 345. Now last sold 499, 445, 440, and a bunch at 490.
Next, the big boy, the Gengar V-Max.
Someone actually just had me sign their PSA 10 Gengar V-Max on the slab at the show. You can technically wipe the marker off still or clean it with some spray, but still that's just crazy. This is at $687 now. Last sold 945, 940, 8.90. Next, the big boy, the Umbreon V-Max, making another little run. Was that about 1,600 now last sold 23 23 21 22.
and the Gengar Mimikyu GX tag team. The textured one was at $1,200. Now last sold $1850$1899675.
Wow. Cuz yeah, it goes right back down to about 12 $1,300.
And the Charmander Mega Evolution promo out of the new first partner packs went crazy. This card was at like $33. Now that sold 46, 45, 49. I mean, all in the mid-40s. And the rest of the cards didn't really move up in price. It was just a Charmander. Next we have the Charizard V Star was at 54. Now that sold 72, 105, and 99. And with the actual Mewtwo Var going so crazy, this card is definitely going to follow.
And we have a couple more promos. We got the Jolton V. This was at $51. Now last sold 66 68. Tons of lightly plays. Wow.
We got one at 75. Another one at 70.
Starting to catch up a little bit with the Vaporeon. Same with the Jolton V-Max was at 55. Now last sold 69, 75, 70, and 80. And the Flareon V. The only one that did not go up in price is the Flareon V-Max, which is probably my least favorite of the entire group. Was at $65 for the Flareon V. Now I sold Wow.
Modery played 51, lightly played at 70, near mint at 75,74.
I don't get why people don't spend the extra $5 and get that near mint card.
The Chinese one sold for $47. Bam. Most sales are around $75 near mint. And last on the list, we have the Greninja SIR promo. This was at $60. Now last sold 105 97 98 110 115. Yeah, everything is going crazy right now. But all right, that was today's Pokemon Market Monday.
