This strikes me as the sort of card that would usually start fetching prices in the hundreds of dollars, so spectacular is the design and the color.

Akira Egawa is one of the most exciting artists working on the Pokémon TCG, having done Paldean Fates’ extraordinary Charizard (currently fetching around $200), and indeed the Zard from Obsidian Flames ($54), but also Crown Zenith’s four masterpiece gold cards ($50 to $104). In a list of outrageously expensive cards, I’m genuinely surprised this is as low as $73—of all the cards here, this is the one I can see eventually returning to its peak price of $120.
