Last week’s top holds were dominated by Pokémon, including everything from modern Tag Team favorites to one of the most recognizable vintage cards in the hobby. On Solana, one of One Piece’s biggest modern chase cards took the top spot.

Wildcard

2016 Evolutions M Blastoise EX #102 PSA 10

XY Evolutions brought the look and nostalgia of Pokémon’s earliest era to a new generation of collectors. This full-art M Blastoise EX combines an original starter Pokémon with one of the defining modern nostalgia sets, and the PSA 10 grade makes it an especially clean example.

Current ALT value: $372

2019 Team Up Gengar & Mimikyu GX #53 PSA 9

Gengar and Mimikyu are two of Pokémon’s most popular characters, and the Team Up era has developed a strong following among modern collectors. Pairing the two on a single Tag Team GX card makes this a standout from the Sun & Moon era.

Current ALT value: $452

Silver (Base)

2002 Legendary Collection Articuno #2 PSA 8

Legendary Collection has become one of the most recognizable vintage Pokémon releases, particularly because of its famous reverse holo pattern. Articuno adds the appeal of one of the original Legendary Birds to an increasingly sought-after era of Pokémon collecting.

Current ALT value: $1,042

Silver (Solana)

2019 Black Star Promo Mewtwo & Mew GX #SM191 PSA 10

Another Tag Team favorite. Mewtwo and Mew are two of the most iconic Pokémon ever created, and this Black Star Promo brings them together on one card. In a PSA 10, it’s an excellent example of why the Tag Team era continues to attract collectors.

Current ALT value: $3,024

Gold

1999 Pokémon Game Shadowless Charizard #4 PSA 8

Few cards need less introduction.

The Shadowless Base Set Charizard is one of the defining cards of the entire Pokémon hobby. Sitting between the ultra-rare 1st Edition and the more widely available Unlimited printing, Shadowless Charizard remains a major vintage grail—and a PSA 8 is an impressive hold.

Current ALT value: $4,934

Platinum (Base)

No featured holds from Platinum Base last week.

Platinum (Solana)

2026 Serialized Top Prize Monkey D. Luffy #EB04-061 PSA 10

Serialized cards represent some of the highest-end collectibles in the One Piece Card Game, combining extreme scarcity with the franchise’s biggest characters. With Monkey D. Luffy on the card, Top Prize status, a serialized print run, and a PSA 10 grade, this is exactly the type of modern One Piece grail collectors chase at the top of the market.

Current ALT value: $11,633

Another Week of Grails Staying Put

From Shadowless Charizard and vintage Articuno to Tag Team Pokémon and a serialized Luffy, last week’s holds covered several generations of the hobby.

The cards keep changing. The decision stays the same: SWAP it or hold it?
