9/26 - Market Report
Current Market Overview
The Pokémon market continues to go absolutely bonkers:
- Destined Rivals: $400+/box
- Mega Evolutions: ~$300/box
- Phantasmal Flames: ~$400/box
At these levels, Pokémon has officially crossed into luxury good territory.While Pokémon will print more product, there’s no guarantee that the new supply will be enough to cool off demand.
⚠ Big Picture Risk: A major economic event—like a stock market crash or global downturn—could hit the Pokémon market hard. Predicting the timing of such an event, however, is nearly impossible.
Investment Strategy
My playbook remains unchanged, but with extra caution:
- Sealed Product (Early Scarlet & Violet Sets)
- Sword & Shield Sets (Safe Zone)
- Watch for Costco/Sam’s Club Drops
- $5> full arts across all modern sets (Trainer galleries for e.g.)
Rumors & Short-Term Plays
- Unconfirmed Rumor: Rayquaza may headline the set following Phantasmal Flames.
What to be extra cautious of right now
- PSA 10 Grail Cards
How to Navigate the Hype
Everything is being pumped right now—even secondary-tier cards that usually stay under the radar.The key is to stay grounded:
- Trust your intuition: Don’t blindly follow hype.
- Stick to price discipline: Buy only when the numbers make sense.
- Take profits when they’re there.
- Don’t overextend yourself chasing a “perfect” play.
Final Thoughts
The market is wild and unpredictable.Trying to pick the single “perfect” card or set right now will only cause headaches.
Your best defense is to:
- Focus on recently out-of-print sets with low reprint risk.
- Stack smartly, take profits, and stay liquid.
- Remember: this is a moment of incredible opportunity, but also very high risk.
