Volcanion ex Special Illustration Rare
In any other set, I’d be dead surprised to see a card as cluttered and not that useful so high in the price charts. But this is a set with only six special illustration rares, meaning all six of them are in the top 10! It’s kind of here by default.
It’s no slight to artist Akagi, who illustrated the wonderful Palafin from Paldean Fates, and then the impossibly colorful and glorious Greninja ex from Twilight Masquerade—a card that’s still fetching $350 raw, and almost $700 in a PSA 10. In fact, his Kingdra ex is one of my favorite card arts ever. But this one doesn’t much appeal to me. However, others clearly disagree, as it’ll cost you around $42 to get one.
