Top 100 Pokémon card index up 150.7% since 2021, beating stocks and bitcoin
An index tracking the 100 most expensive Pokémon cards has returned 150.7% since September 2021, per BeInCrypto, against roughly 73% for the S&P 500. The index sits 1.2% below its September 29 all-time high.
Treat the exact percentages with care: a $244,750 combined value for the 100 most expensive cards worldwide doesn't square with million-dollar single-card sales, so how this index is built is unclear. The direction still rings true — record trophy sales and grading volume show real strength at the top. But it says little about the mid-range slabs and sealed boxes most collectors actually trade.
