Toxapex (Ash vs Team Rocket Deck Kit)

Base Set, Jungle, and Fossil holofoil cards have shown steady 3-5% monthly gains as collectors accumulate NM copies. Population reports show PSA 10 submissions increasing.

A NM-MT condition Base Set Unlimited Charizard sold on eBay for $890, significantly above the $420 TCGPlayer market price. The card was authenticated but ungraded.

The latest Scarlet & Violet expansion 'Surging Sparks' officially launched worldwide. Early chase cards include Pikachu ex SAR and several new Illustration Rares. First-week prices are inflated — expect correction in 2-4 weeks.

PSA raised their base-level grading fee from $30 to $35 for standard cards. Express and Super Express tiers unchanged. This may reduce casual submissions and tighten PSA 10 supply for modern cards.

As expected, the market saw a 5-10% correction across most categories following the December holiday buying surge. Vintage cards held better than modern, with Base Set holos showing minimal decline.

TCGPlayer reported record daily sales volume during the week of December 15-21. Pokémon cards were the #1 category, with Evolving Skies and Base Set seeing the highest transaction counts.
