Case study: Mega Gardevoir ex gold card down 67% as the new era's first set kept printing
Mega Evolution, the first set of the new era, released on 26 September 2025. Two weeks later the gold Mega Gardevoir ex traded at $564. It fell to $320 by late November and $235 by late January, then kept sliding to $183. The SIR version (178/132) is down 44% over the same period.
- Trigger: launch scarcity. Bleeding Cool's November 2025 value watch already had the Mega Hyper Rare down about $140 and the SIR down $115. It noted that the first set of a new era 'generally always crashes' and that the ultra-low pull rate of the gold cards was slowing the fall.
- Mechanism: Misprint (June 2026) says the base set's gold Hyper Rares fell from $450-720 to $225-280 'as supply landed'. The set was printed at large scale, and Phantasmal Flames, Ascended Heroes, Perfect Order and later sets keep drawing collectors' money away.
- Our data shows no recovery: each bounce in spring 2026 faded, and Mega Lucario ex (188/132) followed the same path (-58%).
- Europe: confirms. Cardmarket's Mega Evolution set index (EUR) is -14% since 20 Jul 2026, in line with this card's -13% in US NM. Its Cardmarket 7-day average sell is 13% below the 30-day average.
Lesson. Very low pull rates slow the post-launch decline but do not stop it while the set is still printing. Gold or hyper-rare cards from an in-print base set are not scarce yet.
