Further narrowing Eevee's unusually small roster of valuable cards is its relatively frequent inclusion as a promo card in each generation, leaving it unattached to a particular set
While its price chart will become more meaningful over time, there's no denying that this card's huge spike after release is deserved, considering the quality of the card
These include: First Edition cards (especially from the Base Set) Promo-only releases (e.g., Illustrator Pikachu) Secret Rares and Alternate Arts (like SAR cards in Japanese sets) Foil variants such as the Master Ball pattern introduced in Japans Pokmon Card 151 Low print runs, exclusive distributions, and region-locked editions all create scarcitymaking a card harder to find and therefore more desirable among collectors and investors
It will be interesting to see which way this card's value changes after the market settles down more, especially given the popularity of The Incredibles
You can set up a next-turn knockout on a Pokmon VSTAR, or take down annoying low-HP Pokmon like Sobble or Comfey
