Tracking the biggest moves in the Pokémon TCG for the week of May 21st – 28th.
We’ve identified the top 3 cards gaining value and the top 3 losing ground based on their total dollar impact. To give you the most accurate global snapshot, we have included pricing in AUD, USD, and EUR.
Please note that our data focuses on Near Mint (Raw) card values. We track raw cards because they represent the “heart” of the market; their movement typically sets the floor and dictates the price trends for graded (PSA/BGS) slabs.
