Market outlook
Declining Outlook 2/10
A price tracker reports a 29% TCGplayer market-price decrease from July 19 to October 15, 2026. Recent near-mint sales are still being recorded, but those observations do not establish a reversal.
Next months. Uncertain; recent prices and sale records indicate an active market, but the reported downward movement argues against assuming a near-term rise.
Long term. Uncertain; collector interest may persist, but the available sources do not support a reliable long-term price prediction.
