Why collectors hold sealed Pokémon
Sealed Pokémon TCG product has quietly become an asset class of its own. Not because of hype, but because of how the supply side works.
- Fixed supply. Print windows close, and once a set is out of print no more sealed product is ever made.
- Constant attrition. Most boxes get opened for the chase cards, so the sealed pool shrinks every year.
- Proven track record. Sets like Evolving Skies and Hidden Fates now trade at multiples of their launch RRP.
Evolving Skies Booster Box, value of $100 at 2021 RRP
Approximate, from completed Australian marketplace sales of factory-sealed English product. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
