🚀 Pokémon TCG Ascended Heroes - Rising Value & Top 10 Most Valuable Cards
Ascended Heroes is the third expansion of the Mega Evolution series and brings one of the most anticipated events in modern Pokémon TCG - the return of Team Rocket. With 290 cards, new Tera Mega Pokémon, and Premium Poster Collections, the set became an absolute hit. The most valuable card - Mega Gengar ex SIR - trades at nearly $1,000, and 7 of the top 10 cards exceed $150. Let's explore why this set's value is soaring and which cards are the most valuable.
Why is the value rising?
Ascended Heroes combines three powerful collector factors: nostalgia (Team Rocket, N, Lillie), exclusive rarities (Mega Hyper Rare at 1:2,000 and SIR at 1:2,002 pull rate), and iconic Pokémon (Gengar, Charizard, Pikachu, Dragonite, Mewtwo). Mega Gengar ex SIR has soared to $980 and Mega Dragonite ex SIR to $600. Sealed products - Booster Boxes and ETBs - are trading well above MSRP.
