Logan Paul recently shared his take on why Pokemon card prices move the way they do. He points out that these cards tie directly to long-term fandom cycles. Fans stick with their favorites over years, not just quick hype. This creates steady ups and downs in values based on how deep that love runs.[1][3][5]
Think about sets like Evolving Skies. Even with some dips, it stays a top pick for collectors. The Umbreon VMAX Alternate Art card sits at $2,063.30 right now, down $155 from last month. It is getting close to under $2,000 for the first time in ages. Rayquaza VMAX Alternate Art holds at $701.05 and looks ready to climb higher. Umbreon V Alternate Art is at $429.10 after a $140 drop, but the set as a whole leads modern cards in value.[1]
Paul’s idea fits here. These Eeveelution and dragon cards draw fans who have followed them since the early days. Nostalgia and gameplay keep interest alive through peaks and valleys. Other big names like Dragonite V Alternate Art at $405.62 show the same pattern. Prices fell from highs like $2,400 back to $1,350 on some chasers, then bounced as true collectors stepped in.[1][5]
Market trends back this up. Overall Pokemon card interest grew 126% in the last two years, with sales strong around $10 to $80 per card. December sees high demand from gifts and holidays. High-end sales rebalanced in 2025, with some vintage and modern pieces down 64% from 2022 peaks. Modern sets like Surging Sparks and Temporal Forces also softened, pushing smart buyers to grab now.[4][6][7]
Logan Paul sees cycles where short-term flips fade, but dedicated fans hold firm. Cards like Espeon V Alternate Art at $169.15 or Sylveon V at $154.69 prove it. They dip with the market but rebound on real fandom, not just trends.[1]
This view helps collectors time moves. Watch for support levels around past lows, like $1,000 on premium pieces or $250 to $300 on mid-tier hits. Fandom depth means patient holders often win out.[3][1]
