Pokémon 30th cards crash scalpers' market after generous pull rates

Market crash reveals contrast: children benefit as bubble deflates

The collapse delivered what collectors hoped for—cards finally accessible to regular fans instead of speculators. Pre-release predictions showed Mew selling for $850–$1,400 illegally obtained; five days post-launch it listed around $120 but struggled to sell above $100. Most expensive top-ten cards now under $40, lowest SIR prices since early 2024.

“The new set, released last week, has pull-rates so generous that the resale market is absolutely flooded with what were expected to be the most expensive chase cards, and as a result the prices continue to plummet.”
