Insights into Card Values

Umbreon’s Master Ball Reverse Holo (RH) tops the list, valued higher than any Secret Rare (SAR) in the set. This is due to its rarity; there’s less than one Master Ball RH in a booster box, and with over 100 cards competing for that slot, these cards are even rarer than the set’s Secret Rares. Sylveon, another fan-favorite Eeveelution, also commands significant demand, pushing its value above other Eeveelutions.

Most Master Ball reverse holos range from 1,000 to 3,000 yen ($7 to $20), while Poke Ball reverse holos typically run under 1,000 yen ($7). Each booster box comes with two to three Poke Ball RHs, making them more common than MasterBall RHs.

Least Valuable Special Illustration Rares

At the bottom of the value spectrum, these Special Illustration Rares are priced between 200 yen and 300 yen ($1 to $2):

• #204 Hearthflame Mask Ogerpon ex

• #208 Wellspring Mask Ogerpon ex

• #229 Drayton

• #216 Cornerstone Mask Ogerpon ex

• #232 Amarys

The Future of Ogerpon’s Mask Cards

While Ogerpon’s alternate mask cards currently hold low value, they may see an increase over the next few generations. As a generation-exclusive Pokémon, Ogerpon’s unique forms are unlikely to appear frequently in future sets. Similar trends have been seen with generation-specific Pokémon like the Therian forms of the Forces of Nature or the Ultra Beasts.

Ogerpon’s rarity and connection to this generation could make these cards more desirable over time, especially if future sets no longer feature her alternate masks.

Set Release in the West

The cards from Terastal Festival ex will become part of the Prismatic Evolutions set, slated for release on January 17th. Stay tuned as more details emerge about the Western release!
