Market outlook
Stable Outlook 5/10
The card shows mixed recent performance: SVP014 raw Near Mint increased $10 (+20%) over 30 days (as of 02/20/2026 data), but SVP029 variant declined -$0.29 (-20.4%) in comparable period. Market appears to be settling into stable range as initial Scarlet & Violet era enthusiasm normalizes. Pokémon Center stamp adds stabilizing factor for this variant.
Next months. Likely to remain stable in $40-$75 range for raw Near Mint copies over next 3-6 months. Possible minor appreciation if Koraidon receives additional game/media exposure. Raw copies expected to trade $3-$6 on bulk markets. No significant price catalyst anticipated.
Long term. 1-3 year outlook remains neutral to slightly positive. Card may experience modest appreciation ($50-$85 range for NM) as Scarlet & Violet era becomes more established in retrospect, similar to historical Gen IX card trends. Strong demand among casual Koraidon fans could drive slow growth. However, likelihood of reprints and multiple variants being released limits explosive growth potential. Best suited for collectors rather than speculators.

Collector notes
Condition. Key condition factors for this holo promo: check for holo scratching and wear on the foil surface (common on promotional holos), edge wear from box packaging, corner creasing from storage, and print lines or centering issues. The Pokémon Center stamp area is prone to damage. Near Mint examples are relatively uncommon despite decent print runs. Common defects include light holo scratches and minor edge wear.
Storage. Store in a sleeve (preferably inner + outer sleeve combination) within a top-loader or card saver immediately upon receipt to prevent further holo wear. Keep in cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Store vertically in boxes rather than horizontally to reduce pressure on the card. Use acid-free materials exclusively. Consider binder storage only for low-grade copies.
Authenticity. Authentic SVP014 cards have sharp printing, proper Pokémon Center stamp placement and clarity, accurate holo pattern reflection, and correct card stock thickness. Fakes typically show blurry text, poor stamp quality, inconsistent holo patterns, or incorrect color saturation. Compare against verified examples on grading company websites. This card has relatively low counterfeit prevalence due to lower price point, but examine stamp clarity carefully.
