The Pokémon TCG is an ever-changing and unpredictable market. Over the past two years, we’ve seen renewed interest in the hobby due to a number of factors, including the 25th Anniversary, strong Sword & Shield-era sets featuring stunning Alternate Arts, influencers, box breaks, COVID-19 lockdown pushing people to find hobbies, and more. For a time, sets and cards that were readily available quickly became difficult to find. Now that the hype is settling down, let’s see where modern sets stand. Every month, I will do an installment of this series, Pokémon TCG Value Watch. This series is not financial advice but is rather a way to help collectors know the trajectory of a card’s availability so that Pokémon TCG completionists like myself know when to strike. Today, let’s see how the cards of Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield – Astral Radiance, which came out in May 2022, are doing now in March 2024.

This Pokémon TCG expansion includes a Trainer Gallery subset. The top cards of this subset are:
- Starmie V Character Super Rare TG13/TG30: $39.87
- Garchomp V Character Super Rare TG23/TG30: $19.61
- Galarian Moltres V Character Super Rare TG20/TG30: $8.10
- Zacian V Character Super Rare TG21/TG30: $5.53
- Galarian Articuno V Character Super Rare TG16/TG30: $4.05
The set’s chase card, Machamp V Alternate Art, is up and down. After a drop from its once lofty position of over $100, it fell to $79.53 last month only to jump up to the high $80s again this month. We see similar jumps scaled to the value of the four top cards of the set, which is likely a result of Sword & Shield – Astral Radiance packs becoming less common on shelves as we move further away from the set.
