(EDITOR'S NOTE: Still non-canon.) Thanks for joining me on this Core Set 2021 product journey
Ishihara autographed this particular Near Mint card in black ink, and it sold for $247,230 in April 2021
There are 12 of these in total, and its nice to see some less expected Pokemon like Arbok and Golem get the special treatment over more obvious options like Gyarados or Dragonite
While it could just be used as a three-cost beater, heres an example where it gets extra mileage from Traverse the Ulvenwald implications
Why Evolving Skies Commands Premium Prices There's no mystery here, but it's worth spelling out exactly what makes this set special compared to the dozens of other Sword & Shield era sets that trade for a fraction of the price
As such, this card holds impressive value among fans and collectors, and the novelty factor alone is enough for the card to hold tremendous cache
