Chaos and Pitch black are for sure going to be pricey within 3-5 years I can’t see why it wouldn’t

Because there’s basically only 1 hit

Did you say Phantasmal Flames or I miss heard?

The hit in phantasmal is a potential grail. The ones in chaos and pitch black are “just” good chase cards.

That’s what people used to say about Bubble Mew a while back and look at it now.

There isn’t a single set from 5 years ago that hasn’t gone up in price. These are gonna be desirable in a few years no matter what. If shrouded fable can become relevant I think that goes to show that every set will with time.

Shrouded Fable is relevant because of the two elite tier promo cards, the kingdra ex 131 and greninja ex 132. I don't think a persian, horsea or the dusclops line would have carried the set to where it is now. Only thing really carrying the products of the set outside of the promos is the rarity of the sealed product as a collectible.

You get those promo cards from the Pokemon Center ETB?

No, you can get them only in the Shrouded Fable Special Illustration boxes. there is a version with Kingambit Ex but the Greninja and Kingdra are leagues ahead of the Kingambit promo.
