Logan Paul recently shared his take on why Pokemon cards keep their value through every market shift. He points out that unlike quick fads in other collectibles, Pokemon cards have proven staying power. Fans and collectors stick around because of the game’s history, new releases, and that mix of nostalgia and fun that pulls in kids and adults alike.[1][4]
Paul knows the scene well from his own big buys and sells. He argues these cards beat trend cycles since demand stays steady year after year. Look at sets like Evolving Skies, still topping charts in December 2025. Its Umbreon VMAX Alternate Art sits at $2,063.30 after a $155 drop, while Rayquaza VMAX Alternate Art climbs to $701.05. Other stars like Umbreon V Alternate Art hold at $429.10 and Dragonite V Alternate Art at $405.62. Even with some dips, this set leads modern collecting.[1]
Prices do fluctuate. Videos tracking 2025 sales show top cards easing off peaks, like one that fell from $600 to steadier levels around $42 recently. Another hit $2,400 after buyers snapped up copies at $1,350, proving support at key price points.[2][3][5] High-end sales rebalanced too, with a 2025 auction 64% below a 2022 peak for a similar card, but that opens doors for collectors.[6]
Market chats echo this. Modern sets like Surging Sparks and Temporal Forces trade lower now, with packs lingering on shelves. Some shift to games like One Piece, yet core Pokemon cards endure.[7] Interest peaks in December, with average sells around $41 in the $10 to $80 range, fueled by gifts and bundles.[4]
Paul’s view fits the pattern: dips happen, but big cards rebound. Evolving Skies shows how chase cards like those Eeveelution Alternates and Rayquaza keep drawing eyes, even as the market adjusts.[1]
