Card Crashes – Weekly Market Watch
While Illustration Rares are heating up, several Master Ball variants and early meta darlings are feeling the chill. The market may be correcting after early release hype, giving collectors a chance to buy in lower—or avoid the dip. Let’s talk value.
🔎 What’s Cooling Down – Analysis
1. Kieran #230 – Terastal Festival
Once hyped as a key trainer for Dark decks, Kieran’s price has been sliced in half. The card saw major early interest, but with the format shifting and other Supporters seeing more competitive play, it’s now correcting.
