Scarcity & Market Read

The Pokémon Centre drop type combined with a 90.91 pull rate score and 1,306% sealed premium confirms extreme scarcity. For UK collectors, the consistent price floor above £688 with steady weekly gains points to persistent collector demand outpacing supply. This structural imbalance ensures limited downside while supporting gradual appreciation.

Bull Case

1. 72.9% annual growth proves sustained collector demand, not a flash spike.
2. At 1,306% premium over MSRP, sealed scarcity is structurally locked in.
3. Steady climb from £688 to £773 over 3 months signals a solid floor.

Bear Case

1. Peak of £1,299.99 means you're buying 40% below all-time high — or it never returns.
2. 30-day gain of just 3.1% suggests momentum is cooling near-term.
3. Pokémon Centre exclusives can reprice sharply on any market sentiment shift.
