Wrap Up Commit / Memory (Amonkhet) | Illustration by Ryan Alexander Lee Well, thats all I have for today folks
With another brilliantly illustrated card from Mitsuhiro Arita, first debuting in Base Set, and the truly singular fireworks holo finish, seeing this ultra-rare Bulbasaur card be worth nearly $130 on the secondary market is no surprise, and it remains the single-most valuable Bulbasaur Pokemon TCG card (non-Topps variety, that is)
From smooth coated finishes that enhance detailed artwork and sharp rules text to textured recycled boards and durable synthetic materials, each stock offers a different balance of shuffle feel, flexibility, and long-term handling durability
I have not been able to determine if these cards were printed before, after, or at the same time as North American cards
Some manufacturers make cube "shells" for this very purpose, which are basically just really skinny versions of deck boxes, built to hold only 15 cards - the size of a Booster pack - at a time
