📊 Pokemon Card Market Trends: Scarlet & Violet Analysis

Ryan, the 'pika pika Papa,' discusses the trends in the Pokémon card market, focusing on the Scarlet and Violet series. He mentions that while Sword and Shield are usually the topic, today's focus is on the Scarlet and Violet series, which has been tracked month over month for about a year. Ryan highlights that the base set of Scarlet and Violet is not as desirable, with booster boxes starting as low as $90 but now increasing. He also talks about the Pala Evolved set, which has seen a lot of excitement with certain cards but overall not a great month for price growth. The Pokémon Center exclusive Elite Trainer Box continues to perform well. Ryan also speculates on the potential shift in attention from Pala Evolved to the new Twilight Masquerade set.

🌟 Spotlight on Obsidian Flames and Pokémon 151

The script moves on to discuss the Obsidian Flames and Pokémon 151 sets. Obsidian Flames, despite having green cards indicating growth, lacks star power with its cards mostly valued at $2 to $7. The Charizard card from this set has been inconsistent, but Ryan sees potential for it to find support. Pokémon 151, on the other hand, is a beloved set with consistent growth and high values, even with poor print quality. Ryan mentions an upcoming reprint or restock of 151 tins and booster bundles, which could affect the market. He also notes the performance of the Blastoise card from 151, which has been steadily growing in value.

📉 Market Performance of Paradox Rift and Paldan Fates

Ryan reviews the performance of the Paradox Rift and Paldan Fates sets, noting that Paradox Rift has struggled to find its footing, while Paldan Fates has shown some resilience with its anchor cards. Despite the initial excitement around Paldan Fates' shiny cards, their value is starting to fall. However, the bubble Mew and Charizard cards seem to be holding their ground. Ryan appreciates the uniqueness and chase factor of the baby shinies in Paldan Fates, predicting a bright future for the set despite potential turbulence ahead.

🌙 Twilight Masquerade's Impact on the Market

The script concludes with an analysis of the Twilight Masquerade set, which has captured the market's attention, overshadowing other sets like Temporal Forces. Ryan is intrigued by the fact that three of the top five chase cards in Twilight Masquerade are trainers, which is unusual for the ultra-modern era. He discusses the performance of the Greninja card and the Carmine card, both of which have the potential to be special. Ryan also mentions the Blood Moon URS Saluna card, which, despite its current decline, he believes has potential due to its unique artwork and appeal.

Transcripts

what is going on all you Pokemon

Collective Maniacs out there this is

Ryan the pika pika Papa and guess what

we are not talking about sword and

shield today this is just to show you

what we typically do for sword and

shield we look at top 20 singles cards

we look at booster boxes we track them

by month over month we've been doing it

for about a year now well guess what I

Warehouse the same information for

scarlet and violet and I asked you if

you'd like to see the month over month

view for scarlet and violet and you said

yes so guess what we're talking today we

are going to be talking about Scarlet

and Violet from the same month over

Monon view that we do for sword and

shield and sun and moon and XY you know

it's hard to believe scarlet and violet

is about a year and a half old that is

just absolutely mind-boggling to me we

have seen some awesome sets come out uh

and we're going to start looking at it

like this now I'm not going to be able

to aggregate the top 20 singles cards

until the entire era is over like I've

done for sword and shield and sun and

moon but there is no reason why we can't

start looking at these sets month over

month the only thing I will say is

remember take a lot of this with a grain

of salt traditionally sets go through

this Pokémon pop and flop they start

super high they work their way down

although in scarlet and violet we have

not seen as much flop as we've seen in

the past but this is an awesome way for

us to kind of keep a finger on the pulse

of what's going on month over month in

particular sets and most importantly

we're also going to look at some

individual cards so with that being said

listen if you enjoy this type of content

if you love the data driven approach hit

that subscribe button if you haven't

already we do fun stuff like this all

the time if you like what you see give

us a thumbs up and if you have questions

or comments drop them down below so

without further Ado let's start talking

about some scarlet and violet and very

first one we're going to talk about is

we're working our way from scarlet and

violet base forward and uh scarlet and

violet base did one thing right it

continued the trend of being a uh less

desirable set because Scarlet Violet

base just can't seem to get a whole lot

of momentum I think we are uh a couple

short months away from scarlet and

violet possibly not having a single card

over $20 in value which kind of breaks

my heart a little bit now the booster

boxes were all the way down at $90 but

the booster boxes are starting to creep

their way back up now if you look at Sun

and Moon base and sword and shield base

you know the base sets even though the

cards don't command a high price their

booster boxes you know they have a

pretty high dollar attached to them but

just remember those were very different

collecting environments both of those

Bas sets came out pre pandemic pump and

certainly not the frenzy that we're in

right now from scarlet and violet so I'm

not saying Scarlet Violet booster boxes

at $95 isn't a great steal I'm just

saying keep it in perspective when

you're trying to compare it to those

other sets however Pala evolved has been

on fire as of late now listen it has had

a lot of really exciting cards in it

we've seen a whole lot of booms we've

seen cards going crazy uh but overall

not a b not a great month not a very

very exciting month in terms of price

growth from Singles cards now the

booster box is hitting at the knocking

at the door of $140 so that continues to

go up and obviously the Pokemon Center

exclusive Elite Trainer Box is just

doing what it's doing and doing well uh

however I wonder if now that we have

Twilight masquerade and I think Twilight

masquerade you know according to the

market and you know according to a lot

of people is a great set I think there's

a lot of tension on Twilight Twilight

masquerade sealed products a lot of

attention on the Gren engine some other

cards we'll talk about that later but it

might be pulling away from Pala evolved

a little bit and one of the things that

I thought was really interesting to look

at was how these Pala evolved you know

the chase cards have performed so the

Magikarp card over there you know it is

finally starting to slow down a little

bit and you will see that over the last

year it is kind of plateaued and then

spiked and then plateaued and then

spiked and after the last Spike it

started to come its way back down and

it's almost plateauing at the previous

plateau and for me I think that's

healthy I'm fine if this card settles in

the 110 115 range I certainly don't

think this needs to spike up to a $200

$300 card I just don't think that makes

a ton of sense I think the artwork is

beautiful but obviously a very hard card

to get in a PSA 10 gem mint holder right

I think the gem rate on this is like 22%

so that's driving a lot of the value

there the other thing is the iono card

um trainers in general in the sword and

shield era didn't perform really well

but I do think that the artwork uh in

scarlet and violet for a lot of these

trainers is actually leveled up quite a

bit and we're going to talk about that a

little bit more later on video and the

iono card was you know the first in my

mind the first big trainer to come out

obviously awesome artwork coupled with

amazing card play so this card's shot

through the roof uh but it's been

working its way down it's just been

slowly stair stepping its way down I

don't know where the Bottom's going to

be I don't know where it's going to find

that support level but it's down to 60

bucks right now which is kind of

expected when you're talking about Ultra

Modern trainer cards like this now the

card that has not slown down but has

continued to rise is this Raichu card

right here now another card that I think

is being driven by incredibly rare gem

mint 10 rate right like this thing is a

177% gem rate that's as low as you're

going to see matter of fact the lowest

that I can think of to compare this to

is the burning Shadow Charizard at a 17%

I mean this card is really low there is

less than 230 of these in PSA 10 gem

mint holders out there in the world I

mean these are just incredibly hard to

find in high grade and I certainly think

that that's helped driving the price

plus it's Raichu like that's a fan

favorite absolutely love this card so I

think we have three awesome cards from

Pala evolved a little bit of the Thunder

is being lost it's being stolen for

Twilight masquerade which is good we've

got more exciting sets coming up so

we'll have to see where this all settles

out but I still think pal evolved is a

fantastic set and I think it's going to

do really well in the long run so the

next two that we're looking at obsidian

flames and the monster that is Pokemon

151 now there's a lot of green in

obsidian flames and at first when I sat

back and looked at this I thought oh

obsidian Flames is doing really well but

when you look at it I mean these are $2

$3 $5 $7 cards you know there's just not

a lot of not a lot of star power there

and obsidian Flames even though it's a

Charizard set now I will say the

Charizard up there at the very top it's

kind of been wishy-washy it's been

having Peaks and valleys and Peaks again

uh I think it's starting to find some

support which is exciting for me because

I think there are some certain things

about that Charizard card which give it

a little bit of opportunity to maybe

it's not going to be a top 10 card I

don't think but gives it some

opportunity for some relatively decent

gains in the long run and then of course

151 just does what 151 does it's just

green it feels like it's green all the

time it is absolutely insane uh the

amount of love and how awesome this set

is it's another set same with obsidian

flames you know that suffers from really

poor print quality which I thinks

Pokemon 151 didn't need poor print

quality to have really high value cards

because they're absolutely amazing and

everybody loves that set but when you

couple all of that together Pokemon 151

is going to be great for a very long

time and now you know we're going to

have this little restock or reprint or

whatever it is of 151 tins and booster

bundles and we'll have to see how big

that is we'll have to see the impact it

has but I'll tell you right now pika

pika papa is not sweating it one bit

matter of fact look even the ultra pre

collection boxes those Mew Ultra premium

collection boxes are having a time

they're all the way up to $126 and the

Pokemon Center exclusive etbs are up to

130 bucks absolutely stunning so of

course I was talking about the Charizard

from obsidian flames and it looks to me

like it's starting to find a support

line right there in the low $40 range

and again this is a card it doesn't have

a low population there's about 4,000 of

these uh in PSA 10 holders but there's

been over 18,000 that have sent in to

get graded so again another card with a

really low PSA 10 gem rate which is

going to help keep the prices somewhat

competitive I know those PSA 10s are

going for about $200 and a raw card is

going for about 40 bucks right so you're

talking about you know about a five

times uh value so the raw card versus

the PSA 10 card so it'll be interesting

to see where both of those go in the

long run then of course the Blastoise I

wanted to call that out because we talk

about the Charizard from 151 all the

time but the blasto has actually had a

really good couple months now what we

see in 151 is there's kind of this band

they kind of peek and Valley and Peak

and Valley between a support line and

then a resistance line and the Blastoise

has done just that but it is at the very

top um of that support at that

resistance line so we'll have to see if

it's able to break through here anytime

soon and as I said 151 really from top

to bottom is just a stunner of a set I

love this Squirtle card and when you

look at the way this card has grown ever

since it came out just really healthy

really organic really slow and steady

upward to the right growth I mean that

is what you want to see and I could have

picked any card from 151 I truly could

have like I just picked the Squirtle

because it's my personal favorite uh but

you can pick any of the cards up there

and there's just a really Healthy Growth

Trend to them again we'll have to wait

and see what this reprint or restock

does to the overall market value um I

don't think it's going to be too much

but who knows I've certainly been wrong

in the past and it is something we have

to make note of now next one's right

here Paradox Rift and palan Fates and

when you first look at this you're going

to go oh my God there is blood in the

streets for both of these and I will say

Paradox Rift has had a very very rough

go of things it just it can't seem to

find its footing you know you got the

Roaring moon at the top which has been

really steady in that $50 to $55 range

and I actually think that that's a

pretty decent entry point uh for that

card I think it found its support line

early I don't see it breaking below 50

anytime soon uh but I certainly don't

see it spiking up either so if it's a

card you just want to stow away thinking

that hey maybe when Scarlet Violet comes

to the end you think that's going to be

one of the cards that's going to pop off

you know there's going to be a lot more

Paradox Rift that's going to be open so

you'll have plenty of opportunities for

it but it's been awesome to watch that

card really find the support line uh

early on and then paldan Fates you know

paldan f Fates has the bubble Mew

obviously it's got the Charizard card

it's got shinies in it but the thing is

the shinies are actually starting to

fall so we're going to have to see if

the bubble Mew and the Charizard at the

very top uh can go ahead and hold on for

the long run but again you see all of

this red and pald and Fates but in

actuality the set has been doing

relatively well and so I just pulled

three of the cards of course I'm going

to pull the bubble Mew and the Charizard

to talk about those uh and then of

course I had to show you know the

Charmander right this was one of the

high dollar high value big chase baby

shinies as soon as pald and Fates came

out and it's been coming down right it's

down about 177% over the last 6 months

certainly not the bottom falling out by

any means considering 177% over 6 months

for a brand new set that is not a huge

drop but then you got the other two

these are the anchor cards and I think

they are strong enough and when you look

at them they've kind of bounced around

like we saw with those 151 cards you

know no crazy spikes up no crazy drops

down like the market just feels like

that Charizard at least right now is

about a $110 card it waivers anywhere

from 100 to 115 but it's going to float

right in that 0 $10 range and then the

me which has been working its way up

with some ups and downs and especially

we saw a sharp down a couple months ago

but it immediately rebr rebounded like

is that card destined to be a $100 card

or is it going to say in that $80 range

you know we're going to have to keep an

eye on this but the thing I like about

pald and Fates is I do think that the

baby shinies give it some uniqueness and

I think it gives it some Chase factor

and then I do think that these two cards

are awesome awesome anchors there at the

very top no booster boxes obviously it's

a specialty set so those Pokemon Center

exclusive etbs with the mimik QQ stamp

promo in it big big fan of that so I

think pald and Fates does have a bright

future although it might have some uh

turbulent months ahead but long run I

think it's going to be AOK the next sets

we're looking at right here temporal

forces and of course Twilight masquerade

now temporal forces I'm going to share

with you right now uh I still really

like it I do I think Twilight masquerade

has stolen almost all of the Thunder and

everybody's focused on that rightfully

so I think Twilight masquerade is going

to be a very special special Set uh you

know these sets kind of identify

themselves early on and Twilight

masquerade certainly has done that I

keep waiting for the bottom to fall out

of this Greninja as it hasn't and it

hasn't yet even though Twilight

masquerade is still relatively new you

know when I went back and I looked at

how evolving Skies performed and I am

not saying Twilight masquerade is

evolving Skies I'm not saying that right

but what I am saying is you look at some

of these big sets and a lot of them the

market kind of realized it early on so

we'll have to see I still want to wait a

couple more months to see what happens

with Twilight masquerade but at least

right now the market seems to think that

this set is going to be absolute fire I

mean booster boxes all the way up at

$123 obviously the Greninja card is up

there at almost 300 bucks and you know

temporal forces I again I like that card

lineup I really do I think there's some

awesome art in there um and it might fly

under the radar for a little bit and it

might not be the top three top four sets

of the whole scarlet and violet era but

I do think that getting those at $100 a

booster box I think it's going to end up

I don't know maybe it'll be like a

silver Tempest type set or maybe it'll

be like an astral Radiance type set or

something like that like maybe not as

big as lost origin or evolving Skies or

chilling rain or Fusion strike you know

but I certainly think it's going to be

uh a good set and we'll just have to see

how it all plays out cuz Lord knows we

have a whole lot of Life coming ahead of

us in the scarlet and violet era now one

of the things I wanted to call out about

Twilight masquerade before we get off of

that is when you look at the top five

Chase cards in Twilight masquerade three

of those top five Chase cards are

trainers okay and we don't typically see

real trainer heavy sets here in this

Ultra modern era and then four of the

top six are all actual trainers as well

right so when you think about it four of

the top six cards are trainers and these

are the top six in terms of actual value

and then when you get down below that

you have a lot of the Mask cards right

which are coming in there so we're going

to see a lot of shuffling in the top of

the Twilight masquerade set and those

are some of the reasons when I did my

preview of it I was like you know I like

this set I think Greninja will be good

in all transparency I never thought

Twilight masquerade was going to do this

not in a million years you could I would

have bet anything in the world that

would be okay set but not the best set

so far of scarlet and violet era but it

just goes to show you Hey listen no

matter how much research you do

sometimes you can be wrong but what I

did want to talk about was some of the

cards here that I do think have an

opportunity to be special and I do like

this eveve card believe it or not and I

know um the artwork is super cute and it

might not be taking off like the

Greninja right now it's you know up a

little bit it's up about 30% it's crazy

to say 30% is a little bit but when

you're comparing it to the Greninja

which is up you know 100 something perc

from where it started but the Eevee card

I think has the opportunity to really

kind of anchor this set as well and if I

had to pick one I love the Carmine card

I know that's an easy pick because it's

the number two most valuable card in the

set right now because obviously this is

the big chase trainer card but I do

think the artwork on this is special and

I think this Carmine card you know

coupled with the iono that we talked

about earlier in this video I think

those two cards have the opportunity

from a trainer perspective you know to

be really special in The Scarlet and

violet era and then I've said it before

I really like this Blood Moon URS saluna

I love this artwork for whatever reason

it just gives me it gives me the kind of

Vibes that hey it might fly under the

radar as you look at it it's down about

36% versus where it came out I'm not

buying it anytime soon I'm going to keep

an eye on it I'm see when we find those

support lines uh but I do think that if

I can get this at a relatively cheap

price I think I would stash a couple of

these away I like the artwork I think

it's a cool card and I think it's got

some opportunity and again I just don't

see four of the top six cards being

trainers forever I just don't think the

support is there for trainers right now

so I think we're going to see a whole

lot of shuffling there so really that's

it I mean we have you know new sets that
