Transparent secondhand market with graded cards Japans used card market is well-established, meaning its much easier to find rare or sealed cards in great condition
Focused on the formidable Team Plasma, it introduces powerful mechanics and iconic, highly sought-after cards
The copy sold by auction house Goldin was rated as being in a Near-Mint 7 condition on the 10-point scale of card grading specialist PSA, making it the highest graded copy of the card recorded by PSA to date alongside just four other cards at the same tier
It also works well in decks that have beneficial death triggers I could easily see it as a good piece for a Jund sacrifice deck
The reason the contents of individual boxes seems to vary a lot is possibly connected to the fact that there were most likely no less than 4 different sheets used to print the holos, Pokmon-ex and Gold Stars, and they may have been inserted into packs in a somewhat irregular sequence: 1 cosmos holofoil sheet for the regular holos (10 in total) which likely also contained the two Gold Stars (neither of them is a Delta Species Pokmon) (all with yellow borders) 1 cosmos holofoil sheet for the regular Pokmon-ex (9 in total) (all with silver borders) 1 refractor holofoil sheet for the 3 Delta Species holos (Blastoise , Charizard and Ludicolo ) (all with holofoil yellow borders) 1 refractor holofoil sheet for Sceptile ex (with silver borders) I will hypothetically assign the sheets listed above insertion rates of 42, 12, 16 and 2 per 216 packs, respectively, as this leads to all the holos and all the Pokmon-ex being of similar rarity, whether they are Delta Species Pokmon or not
