Supply is dwindling and demand is rising. Economics 101 tells us that when demand for an asset outstrips supply, prices rise. Nobody's making new 1st Edition Pokemon cards and demand is rising at the moment, so it's reasonable to suggest prices will rise in the short term as well. They're easy to buy and sell.
Will Pokemon cards drop in value?
Over a year later since its release, the Shiny Charizard VMAX Pokémon card has actually seen a drop in its ungraded prices. Originally, collectors could get the Shining Fates card for $300, whereas now it can be picked up for around $130.
Some of those Pokemon cards are extremely valuable, with the most expensive Pokemon card in the world selling for $375,000 at the PWCC Marketplace in 2021 — $15,000 more than the previous record holder. That's right. Some people are willing to pay for a cardboard Pikachu or Charizard rather than an entire house.
