Seismitoad Illustration Rare – Black Bolt
OK, I love the art. It’s spectacular. And perhaps that’s purely what’s behind the enormous prices being fetched for a card that’s far easier to pull than any of those above. Shinji Kanda’s art is stunning, and has gained a lot of love and attention since Lost Origin’s Giratina V (a card that will still cost you $500).
But the fact is, this is an Illustration Rare, not a Special Illustration Rare, and as such should pull far more often, which you’d imagine would lower prices. Goodness knows where this would be if it were harder to find. Right now, it’s selling for $180, and that price is only trending upward.
