Market outlook
Stable Outlook 6/10
The card currently trades with limited but steady collector interest at established price points. graded grading data is limited, suggesting a niche but consistent collector base without significant recent volatility.[3]
Next months. Prices likely to remain stable in the $37-$45 range for raw copies. graded 10 copies may see modest appreciation as more copies enter the grading pipeline.
Long term. Limited upside without significant scarcity or competitive format changes. May appreciate modestly as sealed products become harder to find, but promo status prevents dramatic appreciation.

Collector notes
Condition. Inspect under bright, natural lighting or daylight LED to reveal micro-scratches, print lines, and surface imperfections. Key grading factors include surface quality—scan for scratches, dents, print defects, or foil damage. As a holofoil card, pay special attention to foil integrity and light reflectivity.[3]
Storage. Handle raw cards with clean hands or cotton gloves. Store in penny sleeves and top loaders. Avoid direct sunlight or humidity exposure to prevent deterioration and foil damage.[3]
Authenticity. Promo cards from official SV sets should have consistent print quality and proper holofoil patterns. Verify the card number (176) and set designation (SVP) match official sources. Professional grading through graded, graded, or graded is recommended for authentication and preservation of higher-value copies.[3]
