The best indicator for the state of the Pokmon card market is the cost of a 1999 Holographic Shadow-less First Edition
You can see all other Disney Lorcana products here, which includes sleeves and deck boxes (plus puzzles that have nothing to do with Lorcana but are included for some reason?)
Since Pokmon first launched on the GameBoy in 1996, the franchise has spawned the trading card game, a wildly popular anime series that continues to run new episodes, dozens of console games and Pokmon Go, which was The Summer Event of 2016 and helped add $7.5 billion in market value to Nintendo within 48 hours
This Universes Beyond MTG set hasn't only got me back into Avatar, but it's got me on MTG Arena to learn the game, not just collect it when I can
A two mana 1/1 with Double Strike is kind of an alright deal too, and also pairs well with +1/+1 counters
Let's take a look at the numbers that will factor into our decisions: Cost: Cost to pull the card: $120 Charizard Ultra Premium Collection Box Grading: Bulk grading with CGC: $15 (must be submitted in larger lot) Shipping to and from grading (part of larger lot): $2 Total cost to own & grade: $137.00 Values: Raw Value (based on TCG Player last sold prices): Near Mint $500 average CGC 10 last sold on eBay average: $1000 CGC 9.5 last sold on eBay average: $700 CGC 9 last sold on eBay average: $500 CGC 8.5 last sold on eBay average: $400 As you can see from the market values, if the card hits a 9 or lower, I might be better off selling the card raw (if that is my ultimate goal with the card)
