What makes Alakazam valuable
- Alakazam is a Psychic card with 80 HP, so demand comes from both collectors and players.

- Priced at $53.84 with thin supply, Alakazam sells readily and clean copies command a premium.

- Centring and surface condition matter most on Rare cards; a clean copy of Alakazam can realise well above the $29.49 low end.
- Because it is a Pokémon card, Alakazam has both collector and player demand — a broader buyer pool than purely collectible cards.
- Base Set 2 was released in 2000; sealed product from this era is limited, so raw singles appreciate with collector demand.
- For Alakazam, confirm the exact print variant before buying: Holofoil prices differ, and listings often mix them.
