bulk pokemon card lot TCG Japanese 50 + 1 Ultra Rare from Any Set - All genuine Pokemon | Toys | 5

Some Commons see more competitive play than Secret Rares

Mega Venusaur basically has a couple of months before it gets put on a stake and over a campfire, making a Wellspring tech an absolute requirement

Many collectors who appreciate high-value cards from older eras also look into iconic vintage sets like Japanese Neo Genesis, known for some of the most important early Pokmon cards ever printed

Which may have explained the higher valuation later on, when compared to before that date as the profit stream would be higher (depending on how much they paid for it)

Im still working on my list though, sorry
