Collectors looking to sell their Pokémon cards at the best price point need 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 their Pokémon cards 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.

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

The Cards Spiked In April But Now Are In Steady Decline

Many of Pokémon Sword and Shield’s expensive V and VMAX cards have started to dip in value after a major price spike back in April 2024. This trend was noticed and pointed out by pkmn.gg on Twitter. The pkmn.gg website 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

Though Pokémon investors 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, the buyers can wait for prices to stabilize a bit more.

Anytime Pokémon cards 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 seeing Pokémon fans get a chance to snag cool art treatments like Gengar VMAX at a lower price.
