It's been a week since the release of the new Unbroken Bonds set and it's that time where now everyone is starting to figure out what decks they will want to focus on which means, buying those specific cards. Some of them have risen in price while a few others have dropped. This is just a small bit to show some changes that happened in the first week. I will try to cover more cards for the second week, which is also the week where the set is legal for competition.
Reshiram & Charizard-GX
Set: Unbroken Bonds
US Price last week: $32.99
US Price this week: $46.99
% of Price Change: 42% Increase
An interesting note as well, ReshiZard was priced at $40.99 just a day prior, so it's increased $6 in just one day. It has shown that it will likely become the best deck in the format once the set is legal so those who got their ReshiZards when it first came out, they might have saved themselves a lot of money as the price might not drop for a while, as the box special will only be release in August. Only then the price may drop as it did for Pikachu & Zekrom-GX.
Dedenne-GX
Set: Unbroken Bonds
US Price last week: $30.99
US Price this week: $26.99
% of Price Change: 13% Decrease
Within the space of one week, Dedenne-GX went from being just $2 off the price of ReshiZard to now a full $20 off the price of that! Don't expect the price to be this low, it will only get bigger once the results from the first few Unbroken Bonds games are out so now might be the best time to get these little friends.
Jirachi
Set: Team Up
US Price last week: $15.99
US Price this week: $17.99
% of Price Change: 13% Increase
Still the most expensive non-GX Pokemon card, Jirachi's price is not as bad as when Team Up cards were in their first competitive week, which saw it going for as high as $30 at one point. A better alternative to Tapu Lele-GX at times, the small increase in price won't be that painful for anyone still thinking of getting it, even though you should already have this.
Tapu Lele-GX
Set: Guardians Rising
US Price last week: $15.48
US Price this week: $12.99
% of Price Change: 16% Decrease
The formerly most expensive card not named Charizard in the game keeps getting cheaper, $13 might be the cheapest Tapu Lele-GX has ever been and with the rise of Dedenne-GX and the fact that Tapu Lele-GX is rotating in 3 months time, it will only get cheaper.
Gardevoir & Sylveon-GX
Set: Unbroken Bonds
US Price last week: $9.99
US Price this week: $11.99
% of Price Change: 20% Increase
GardeSylv might be a sleeper pick going into the next format and with it being one of the only few GXes to see a slight increase in price, that might show were others are putting their faith for the upcoming set. On a side note, a GardeSylv deck did go 3-0 in our first local games to include Unbroken Bonds cards.
Pheromosa & Buzzwole-GX
Set: Unbroken Bonds
US Price last week: $9.99
US Price this week: $5.49
% of Price Change: 45% Decrease
While GardeSylv may have seen an increase in hype and thus it's price, the opposite has happened fir BuzzMosa. The fire hype doesn't help it and now it's gone down to almost half the price of what it was when it was first released. Might be a good time to get this for any Buzzwole faithfuls.
Blacephalon
Set: Unbroken Bonds
US Price last week: $4.49
US Price this week: $2.69
% of Price Change: 40% Decrease
Another card that saw a big drop in price, Blacephalon at least is still being hyped as one of the better decks coming out of Unbroken Bonds so if anything, this is surely the best time to get these Blowns as I'm expecting them to do well in the first few tournaments while everyone tires to figure out what the meta might do.
And just for the hell of it.
Reshiram & Charizard-GX (Secret Rare)
Set: Unbroken Bonds
US Price last week: $199.99
US Price this week: $399.98
% of Price Change: 100% Increase
Yup.
