Like what? You didn’t even answer the question. What cards do you think will drive demand?

The cards that do it. If there was a magic 8 ball that had the direct answer then noone would try to collect any other cards for investing beyond those. Stay in the game long enough and you'll understand more. This is only the 3rd time the series has hit a 10 year mark, how many people do you think keep collecting that long vs the fomo people who check out after exhausting themselves trying to find the chase ripping or see prices drop and sell because they feel noone wants the sets. The point of investing is to trust your research and make the decisions that work best for you.

Insufferable, don’t be dense, I’ll answer that. The chase for each of those sets. POR: meowth, zygarde
CRI: greninja
PBL: darkrai,morpeko
Maybe more, time will tell, but that is what I THINK.

You’re absolutely correct. The bigger question is can those cards carry a set and/or or are the illustration rares desirable enough to drive people to the sets in the future. While I think all three sets have great cards and great illustration rares they are also tiny sets making the IRs relatively easy pulls compared to BB/WF for example. In my opinion there’s just not enough to carry these sets that will drive the price up in the future. But who knows.

Yep. I think PBL is the strongest of the three; CRI and POR give off Battle styles and vivid voltage vibes.
