The Best Pokémon Sets to Invest in Right Now

Pokémon cards have long been a beloved hobby for fans of the franchise, and in recent years, they have transformed into a profitable investment for collectors. The Pokémon card market has witnessed a boom, with certain sets commanding significant value due to rarity, nostalgia, and demand. Whether you're an avid collector or looking to invest in Pokémon cards for the long term, it's essential to know which sets to focus on. In this blog, we'll explore some of the best Pokémon sets to invest in right now, with a special mention of the role Pokémon card shops play in this market.

1. Base Set (1999) There’s no denying the allure of the Base Set cards, especially for long-time fans who grew up with the series. Released in 1999, the Base Set introduced iconic cards like Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur. These cards remain the holy grail for many collectors and investors. The value of a graded first edition Charizard card, in particular, has skyrocketed over the years, sometimes selling for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Investing in a well-preserved Base Set booster box or packs could be a smart move. While prices have already risen considerably, the rarity and historical significance of these cards make them an excellent long-term investment. Always keep an eye on Pokémon card shops, as they may have old stock that hasn’t been opened, potentially hiding valuable cards.

2. Neo Genesis (2000) The Neo Genesis set, released in 2000, is another gem for collectors and investors. This set introduced second-generation Pokémon like Totodile, Chikorita, and Cyndaquil. The most coveted card in this set is the 1st Edition Lugia, a card that has seen significant appreciation in recent years. A graded PSA 10 Lugia from Neo Genesis has sold for substantial amounts at auctions.

Neo Genesis is not only highly sought after for its iconic cards but also for its position as a transitional set in the Pokémon TCG (Trading Card Game). As a result, investing in this set, particularly in sealed booster boxes or packs, could yield impressive returns over time. Check with reputable Pokémon card shops for this set, as they may offer a variety of unopened products that could prove valuable.

3. Shining Legends (2017) Released in 2017, Shining Legends features a variety of special cards, including the highly sought-after Shining Mew. The Shining Mew card, with its unique holographic design, has become a fan favorite and is one of the most expensive cards from the set. While this set is relatively new compared to older sets like Base Set and Neo Genesis, it’s gaining momentum in the market.

With Pokémon’s growing popularity and the continued interest in shiny cards, Shining Legends could be a smart choice for investors. It’s one of those sets that might not have peaked yet, meaning its value could increase over time as demand grows. Many Pokémon card shops are still selling this set, making it an accessible investment for those looking to dive into the market.

4. Hidden Fates (2019) Hidden Fates, a special set released in 2019, quickly became a fan favorite due to its stunning artwork and shiny cards, particularly the Shiny Charizard GX. The Shiny Charizard GX card has seen impressive price increases since its release, and it remains one of the most coveted cards in modern sets.

This set offers a great combination of high-end chase cards and overall desirability, making it a solid investment choice for Pokémon card enthusiasts. As a modern set with a high demand for certain cards, Hidden Fates is an excellent option for those looking for quicker returns. Always keep an eye on Pokémon card shops, as you may find sealed products or individual cards that are rising in value.

5. Evolutions (2016) Released in 2016, Evolutions is a nostalgic set that celebrated the 20th anniversary of Pokémon. Featuring reprints of iconic cards from the Base Set, such as the Charizard EX, Evolutions became a hit among both new collectors and long-time fans. The set’s value has steadily risen as demand for nostalgic products continues to grow.

Although it’s not as rare as some of the older sets, Evolutions provides a great entry point for newer collectors and investors looking to capitalize on nostalgia. As prices for cards like Charizard EX rise, Evolutions has proven to be a solid investment for those looking to diversify their portfolios. Look for sealed booster boxes and packs at Pokémon card shops that may offer these products at competitive prices.

Conclusion

When it comes to investing in Pokémon cards, timing and market trends are crucial. Whether you’re looking to purchase older, rarer sets like Base Set and Neo Genesis, or newer, high-demand sets like Hidden Fates and Shining Legends, there are plenty of opportunities in the Pokémon card market. A key component to success is working with trusted Pokémon card shops, which can provide insight into the market and help you find valuable cards or sealed products. With the right approach, investing in Pokémon cards could lead to significant returns in the future.

Il y a quelque temps, j'ai été contacté par @1jour.1actu pour apparaître dans leur hebdomadaire. Je fais donc une petite apparition dans l'hebdomadaire pour les 8 - 12 ans édité par Milan Jeunesse ! Dans ce numéro, ils ont parlé de Pokémon (et du Mont Blanc). Un format sympa avec une rédaction simple pour la compréhension de tous. Je vous montre la photo qui a été publiée. J'ai essayé de mettre toutes les cartes que je possède. Ça a été très compliqué et en vraiment tout n'y est pas 😅 En tout cas j'ai aimé faire cette photo même si il nous a fallu une bonne heure pour tout préparer et ranger 🤭 #Pokémon #PokemonCollection #CartesPokemon #pokémoncards #cartepokemon #1jour1actu #milanjeunesse https://www.instagram.com/p/CVip6c6r1Vz/?utm_medium=tumblr
