Why These Cards Hold Their Value

Several factors explain why these chase cards continue to rise:

Scarcity: Many have low PSA 10 populations or are hard to grade.
Artwork: Unique or nostalgic art boosts demand.
Character Popularity: Pokémon like Pikachu, Gengar, and Mew have long-term fan appeal.
Set Legacy: Cards from beloved sets or those with strong pull rates tend to perform well over time.

In a market where many modern cards are dropping in value, Pokémon chase card prices from past eras remain strong. These high-performing cards continue to demonstrate lasting value and appeal as long-term assets
