Market outlook
Stable Outlook 6/10
Recent listings show consistent low pricing for sealed copies; lacks vintage appeal as 2026 promo.
Next months. Stable at $6-10 for sealed; graded copies may rise slightly.
Long term. Moderate appreciation if N-themed sets gain popularity, potentially 20-30% growth in 1-3 years.

Collector notes
Condition. Check for centering on Full Art borders, holofoil scratches, edge whitening, surface print defects common on promos; Pokémon Center stamp for chipping.
Storage. Use semi-rigid holders or top loaders with sleeves; store upright in cool, dry place away from sunlight to prevent foil oxidation.
Authenticity. Verify Pokémon Center special stamp alignment and font; official holo pattern matches; check UV for blacklight features; avoid miscut edges or blurry attacks indicating fakes.
