Other Umbreon VMAX cards are selling for an average of $538 during the first week of 2024. Fast forward to the end of the year and it now costs about $1,400 to buy one. Prices are on the rise, and it's not clear why they've gone up so much, especially during the last quarter of the year. The announcement of Prismatic Evolutions, an upcoming series with Eevee at the center and a new Umbreon card may be responsible for its proportions, appearance and the latest increase in card prices.

Other Pokemon cards that shot up in value this year include the beautiful Latios & Latias GX that jumped over $1,000 at the end of November, and Paldea Evolved's Magikarp Illustration Rare which went from $67 to $202 during the year. However, one card worth tracking that is missing from TCGplayer's top ten is the infamous Van Gogh Pikachu.

It was officially called Pikachu With a Gray Felt Hat, although its value dropped in late February when Pokemon printed the cards en masse. However, in September, Van Gogh Pikachu's value began to rise again, and quickly. Here we are at the last day of the year and not only are there almost twice as many promotional cards as last year, but the price is almost three times higher than before when Pokemon made February even bigger.

Great news for Pikachu card owners as it's a free gift when you buy select products at the Pokemon Center. One of the more controversial cards released in recent years as the news that it will be presented at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam in 2023 has caused a minor uproar that has resulted in some of the museum's staff losing their jobs. .
