the others sit under $20 Wait 90 days from launch to buy non-chase SIRs (Ethan's Adventure $55, Giovanni $40, Ariana $34, Arven's Mabosstiff $35, Yanmega $33) typical SV-era price trajectory shows 20-30% softening at the 3-month mark Booster Box vs singles tradeoff: a box at $250-300 covers roughly 55-60% of the base set plus a few secret rares, but you need to buy most of the secret rares as singles regardless factor this into your opening budget Illustration Rares are unusually valuable in this set Misty's Psyduck IR ($57), Misty's Lapras IR ($34), Ethan's Typhlosion IR ($31) all hold collector value
Its a nice perk, especially for fans who primarily collect modern Prizm basketball cards
