Summary

Pokémon Trading Card Gamecollectors may want to start looking to offload a certain run of V andVMAX Pokémon cards. Like all trading card games,the value ofPokémoncards is never stable. Their prices fluctuate for a variety of reasons, from format rotations to waning availability. Sometimes cards will see an unexpected spike in value, and other times cards will suddenly plummet.

Collectors looking to sell theirPokémoncards at the best price pointneed to pay attention when a card or group of cards starts to take a hit in value. Like stocks or other investments, collectors want to sell theirPokémoncards at as high a price point as they can. Waiting too long could even mean losing money if a card was purchased on the secondary market at an inflated price.

You’re Going To Want These New Pokémon Cards Out On August 14

New exclusive Pokémon cards will be coming out on June 21, 2025, and fans of the original 151 Pokémon will want to get their hands on them.

Pokémon Sword And Shield V & VMAX Cards Have Started To Lose Value

The Cards Spiked In April But Now Are In Steady Decline

Many ofPokémon Sword and Shield’s expensive V and VMAX cards have started to dipin value after a major price spike back in April 2024. This trend was noticed and pointed out bypkmn.ggon Twitter. Thepkmn.ggwebsite tracks the value of cards, and shared images of its graphs that showed a steady decline in cards like Gengar VMAX and Lugia V.

Collectors who were banking on these cards staying up near the $400 mark will likely want to sell these cards before the prices dip too low. It’s unlikely these cards will become completely worthless, as they stayed steady around the $200 mark for a while. Still, it can be disappointing to watch a card suddenly be worth half as much as it was before one had the chance to sell it.

Players Who Want These Cards May Actually See This As An Opportunity To Buy Them

A Price Dip Is An Opportunity For Players Who Genuinely Want The Cards

ThoughPokémoninvestors may lament this downward trend in value, this could actually be a good opportunity for players and collectors who want to get their hands on these cards. Sure, these cards are still pretty expensive, but buying them when they’re on a low swing is going to hurt their wallet less than if they had bought one back in April. Of course, players probably don’t want to jump on these cards right away while they’re still trending down. Unlike sellers, thebuyers can wait for prices to stabilize a bit more.

AnytimePokémoncards or collectibles begin to lose value like this, it can be a good or bad thing depending on a player’s perspective. Investors looking to make the most of their cards will likely lament a price drop like this. Alternatively, those who actually want to keep the cards to play with or simply because they enjoy collecting them will be happy they’re getting a chance to get these cards at a lower price. It’s hard to be too upset seeingPokémonfans get a chance to snag cool art treatments like Gengar VMAX at a lower price.
