starting from inflation adjusted msrp back in 1996 or 1999 in the west (?) to your latest available data, focusing only on the sets from wizards of the cost (up until the e-reader era iirc), would you be able to draft a primitive average price evolution of this vintage pokemon tcg category year by year, displaying the booms and busts (or even bubbles) to the best of your ability, from any market analysis or user data collation? I then asked it to graph its response which is the image you see

While actual rare cards will retain and increase their value over time, booster boxes and Elite Trainer Boxes will inevitably reduce in price once The Pokemon Company starts to meet demand or that demand naturally settles down
