Pokemon Market Update: Gym Heroes & Gym Challenge 1st Edition Sets (Dec. 2020)
Word of Meowth - Your most trusted source for Pokemon TCG market trends, tips & positive Pokévibes ~
Back with a fresh update on two of my favorite sets! All in all, much more steady price fluctuations from month to month compared to some of the price drops across other vintage sets - Jungle, Fossil, Base Set etc. Very happy to see that the majority of the cards in Gym Challenge and Gym Heroes are trending UP. There seem to be less eyeballs on these sets but I predict more are coming.
A personal note on why I find these sets so captivating, the artworks are spectacular. Beautiful imagery, fan favorite Pokemon, and relatively more affordable prices for 1st Edition vintage, what more could you ask for?
