Each pack contains randomized cards, creating the thrill of discovering powerful Pokmon ex cards and rare alternate artwork
Many cards break into the 3-figures if they're not printed enough, like Power Artifact, and its not uncommon to get into 4, 5, and even 6-figure price ranges for the ultra-rare
This was one of those cards that a lot of decks were on the edge of playing, either because they couldn't quite get threshold reliably or they didn't want to splash one of the colors, inviting them to play a high-risk but high-reward game with their mana bases that both cost them games and won them games they had little right to win
Yeah, theres still a bit of guess work left, such as with the Weakness and Retreat Cost and the Pokmon 25 logo but still, there is a LOT removed from just mixing those cards together, and whats left is damn near trivial to remove
A wave of nostalgia has created high demand for trading cards, with resale prices rising and sellers adopting anti-scalping measures and guarding against increasingly audacious thefts
