3 Pokemon cards to sell as Charizard ex League Battle Deck releases

The countdown is on for a trio of well-priced cards to lose much of their value. That’s because on November 15, Pokemon will release the highly anticipated Charizard ex League Battle Deck.

League Battle Decks have been rolled out over the years to mixed reception by Trading Card Game players. Some are worth the cost, while others don’t justify the price given the singles market.

Consider that the 60-card Charizard ex League Battle deck will retail at $29.99 and, as of Saturday, contains a single card valued at nearly as much as the whole box.

Here’s a look at three cards you won’t want to hold onto too long if looking to flip for some profit with all prices via TCGplayer.

Prime Catcher – SV05: Temporal Forces ($24.55)

Here’s the main attraction in the Charizard ex League Battle Deck with one copy included. It’s the seventh most valuable card currently from the entire Temporal Forces set given a function that allows users to “Switch in 1 of your opponent’s Benched Pokémon to the Active Spot. If you do, switch your Active Pokémon with 1 of your Benched Pokémon.”

As previously mentioned, Prime Catcher’s current market value is worth almost as much as the Charizard deck’s total MSRP. That price certainly won’t stick once the deck hits store shelves.

Pidgeot ex – SV03: Obsidian Flames ($9.16)

Two copies of this Pidgeot ex card from Obsidian Flames come with the Charizard deck. It’s a powerful component to a deck given you can both use the “Quick Search” ability to find any card and add it to your hand, then still be able to attack in the same turn.

Because of that playability, this is the fifth most valuable card in the Obsidian Flames set — above the sought after Illustration Rares Cleffa and Gloom.

Charizard ex – 054/091 – SV: Paldean Fates ($3.60)

The Paldean Fates Charizard ex doesn’t hold as much value as its counterparts in this list given it’s a reprint of the same Obsidian Flames design. However, the new deck includes three copies, so it’s likely to suppress the price of a readily attainable card more.
