With respect to e/s, yes, anyone in the pokémon scene with common sense would know it'd preform well like what you said. What I am saying is that (besides you) many older hobbyists were not expecting the sheer amount of rallying that the umbreon card would have with little to no pullback in such a short amount of time. We all know favorite pokemon get slapped with an extra cost given it's popularity. However, its chart pattern is seen as being abnormal to me similar to tesla at that time (volatile growth as opposed to gradual steady growth that's happening). Note that the other alt art cards that also get slapped with popularity costs seem to be having gradual steady growth in comparison. I should have been more direct with my statement saying the umbreon card is, to me, the 20'-21' tsla stock of the "pokemarket"
I'd concur with you that it was the perfect storm given the increased volume of people that joined the hobby mixed with the popular purchasing habits of Pokemon fans.
Question for you or anyone that has been in the game for a long time. Were there any sets or more importantly any cards in the past (pre Logan paul pokemon pandemonium) that had similar abnormal growth patterns? I'm genuinely curious
