Description
Holofoil Gengar ex Fire Red & Leaf Green Market Price: $376.86 The only mid-era card on this list boasts striking Mitsuhiro Arita artwork (showing the legendary Pokmon TCG illustrator experimenting with a more computer-generated style) as well as the beautiful foiling method of super rares from this era in which the foil pattern extends all the way to the silver borders of the card itself making for a gorgeous piece of 20-year-old cardboard
The power comes from the card selection
An infamous boggart spoken of only in whispers, Auntie Ool is the terror of Shadowmoor, known to dish out potent curses for the smallest of transgressions
These are the legends, like the Power 9, which includes the undisputed king Black Lotus, and the 10 original dual lands like Underground Sea and Volcanic Island
These market manipulators buy out lightly played and near mint copies on TCGplayer, leaving behind the silly copies listed at $2000 or what have you
The thing that made this set so iconic was that it was the first time the Pokmon Trading Card Game featured a secret rare card, Dark Raichu 83/82
