Though 2023 was a hugely exciting year for Pokemon fans (and Trading Card Game, or TCG, players in general), 2024 has kept the momentum going, with plenty of exciting sets and even new game launches (including Star Wars Unlimited, as just one example) to keep players and collectors occupied

Once you start looking at cards in lightly played (LP) condition, the price tag jumps to $150, with near-mint (NM) copies commanding over $250 in certain cases
