Analyst thesis. Base Set Alakazam is one of the most liquid vintage holos (175 US NM sales) and is on a pullback: $69.34, 18% under its 52-week high of $84.70 while still +27% on the year. Europe is buying the dip: Cardmarket sales are 23% above their 30-day average.
Risk: A second-tier character, and the Base Set index in Europe has fallen back from its September peak; the US 3-month drop (-18%) could continue.
