Market Reality Check: While MSRP sits at $26.94, Amazon lists it for $82.50 (showing a questionable 16% "discount" to $68.92)
The undeniable charm of this set lies beyond nostalgia - it delivers exceptional card artistry that breaks the mold. The Illustration Rare Bulbasaur exemplifies this, blending seamlessly into lush jungle foliage reminiscent of Studio Ghibli's aesthetic. Meanwhile, Alakazam ex portrays mystical academia with delightful eccentricity.

While not every card reaches masterpiece status (Zapdos ex being serviceable rather than spectacular), the collection's overall quality shines. Venusaur ex embodies perfect form-meets-function design, and Squirtle's artwork achieves rare ecological authenticity within cartoon aesthetics.
Though the current markup stings, collector interest remains justified given consistently strong pull rates and exceptional design execution. For those prioritizing pack-opening enjoyment and investment potential, these remain worthwhile - provided one stomachs today's opportunistic pricing.
