Zekrom BW Rare – Black Bolt
Funnily enough, the battle goes the other way for the next pairing. This Zekrom ex is the first of a completely new rarity of card, listed as “Black White Rare,” which is some nonsense, and a sort of woodcut-style holo the likes of which we’ve never seen before.
I strongly believe that if the TCG attempts to repeat this sort of card in the future, it’ll quickly go the way of Gold Cards, which lost their popularity fast as people came to realize that post-novelty, they were just a version of a card with less enjoyable art.
Still, novelty wins out for now, given this card—functionally identical to the $2.50 basic version of the card, and indeed the $10 full-art version, and while we’re here, the $230 version on the previous slide—is currently selling for (deep gulp) $471
Dear god.
