Are Rare Prime Pokémon cards going up in value?

This is the middle price of the whole group on each reading day, so it answers the question for Rare Prime cards as a group rather than for one card.

Each row compares the middle price of the whole group on two days. It is not the change of any single card — a card can fall while the group rises, which is what the movers list below shows.

The typical Rare Prime card rose from $36.24 to $94.02 over the 11 months on file — +159.4%. A rising middle means the ordinary card of this group got dearer, not just the headline one at the top of the list.

How Rare Prime Pokémon card prices are spread

One group price cannot describe 19 cards. These figures show how far apart they actually sit.

Each half circle is the whole price range of the 19 priced Rare Prime cards, from $43.52 to $549.45, with the tenfold steps evenly spaced. The last one is read differently — it counts cards rather than dollars, and says so in its own label.

How every Rare Prime card with a price falls into price bands — 19 cards counted, not just the ones drawn above. Each track is the whole group, so the empty part of a bar is the share that sits outside that band.

The two columns are different groups of cards, not two readings of the same one — the right column is the dearest end of the left one. "Typical" is the middle price, which half the cards sit below; "average" is pulled upward by the few very expensive cards, which is why the two differ.

The average price of a Rare Prime card is $167.61 while the typical one is $94.02. The gap between those two numbers is the shape of this group: the cards sit close together, so the average and the typical price say roughly the same thing.

What three quarters of the 19 priced Rare Prime cards cost

One in four Rare Prime cards costs $61.50 or less, half cost $94.02 or less, and three in four cost $241.33 or less. Only the top quarter runs past $241.33, and the dearest tenth starts at $403.53.

What is the same
The rarity printed on the card
Both are recorded as Rare Prime in the card files this site reads, so a search by rarity returns them together.
What is different
The card underneath it
Set, year, artwork and how many people want it. Rarity says how a card was printed, not how sought after it is.
What this means
Rarity alone does not price a card
The middle Rare Prime card costs $94.02, which is much closer to the cheap end than to the dear one. Most of this group is affordable and a handful of cards carry the headline figures.
