Altaria

Market outlook

Rising Outlook 6/10

The card has shown a 29.9% increase in the last 30 days, indicating growing collector interest and potential short-term demand. Full Art cards from Crown Zenith are generally popular due to their aesthetic appeal, and Altaria's strong Pokémon profile supports this trend.

Next months. Next 3-6 months prediction: Continued moderate growth with prices potentially reaching $8-$10 for Raw copies and $50 for graded 8 copies if demand remains steady.

Long term. 1-3 year prediction: Prices may stabilize around current levels unless a significant population decline occurs or a new Pokémon trend boosts demand for Altaria. Without such factors, value may remain in the $2-$8 range for Raw copies.

History

Altaria is a Dragon/Fairy-type Pokémon known as the Singing Pokémon, famous for its Tempting Tune ability and its graceful, melodic nature. In the Pokémon universe, it uses its wings to create beautiful sounds that can sooze listeners and is highly sought for its aesthetic and in-game utility.

This specific Full Art version of Altaria was first released in English in the Crown Zenith set's Galarian Gallery sub-set in early 2023. It was revealed as the first English card from the Galarian Gallery collection.

• It is a Full Art card, which is rarer than standard holographic cards but more common than Secret Rares in this set.
• The Galarian Gallery sub-set has a higher print run than the main Crown Zenith set, reducing scarcity.
• The 70-card limit in Galarian Gallery means it is not a Secret Rare (which would be above card 70), limiting its rarity tier.

Collector notes

Condition. Check for centering, especially on the Full Art border; look for whitening on the corners due to the glossy finish; inspect the surface for scratches or micro-imperfections on the Full Art illustration which is prone to showing wear; ensure the 'Tempting Tune' text is clear and not obscured by creases.

Storage. Store in a rigid top loader or semi-rigid card protector to prevent bending; keep in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration of the Full Art; consider using a sleeve before placing in a top loader to protect the surface from micro-scratches.

Authenticity. Verify the holographic pattern is consistent with Crown Zenith Full Arts; check for the correct font and kerning on the 'Tempting Tune' ability; authentic cards have a specific texture and weight; fakes often have a plasticky feel, incorrect holographic effects, or blurry text; compare the border thickness and color to known authentic examples.
