Pokemon price history?

Hey, I was wondering if anyone could enlighten me (possibly with additional resources) about how the Pokemon market has been doing over the years? I’ve been in it now for just over a year and all I have personally seen is prices rising, but I don’t think it has been that way forever, does anyone have some simple timeline of any big spikes, big crashes, etc.? To avoid confusion I’ll note that I’m talking about collector cards here, so valuable cards that are out of print for a while.

Bonus question: If someone knows whether sites exist that track all Ebay prices of specific cards over the years then that would be great too!

I have heard of this:

@KingPokemon

@pokemonrevolution

www.worthpoint.com/

It’s a paid monthly subscription but it does show years of ebay sales history.

I was going to say the same thing. It’s about 200.00 a year which is a great price for an excellent resource. It may still offer a free trial too:)

It would be wonderful if a robust source of price points going back several years were spreadsheeted for everyone to see.

I can’t imagine how someone could conclude that the growth in the market for Pokemon cards since 2016 is healthy, sustainable, or lasting without relying on the kind of data you’ve requested. Could anyone who believes that share what data you rely on or how you arrive at your conclusion?

This was an excellent question, in my opinion, Skiwi!
