Why these cards cost so much
- Printing, not just the card. The same card can sell for cents as a Common and hundreds of dollars as a Quarter Century Secret Rare or Starlight Rare. Every row above is one printing: one set number in one rarity.
- 1st Edition vintage. Early sets were printed in far smaller numbers, and 1st Edition copies in near-mint condition are scarce. Our 1st Edition vs Unlimited guide explains the difference.
- Tournament prize cards exist in tiny numbers and change hands rarely, so their market prices can jump on a single sale.
