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 – Brilliant Stars, which came out in January 2022, are doing now in October 2024.

This Pokémon TCG expansion includes a Trainer Gallery subset. The top cards of this subset are:

Charizard V Alternate Art, the chase card of this set, increased in market value in the last two months, but only by a few dollars. Arceus V Alternate Art, on the other hand, fell a few dollars in the market, which is more significant considering its much lower value. Umbreon V Character Super Rare lost $5 in value, making it one of the most affordable Umbreon chases of the Sword & Shield era despite also being one of the coolest.
