It's no wonder, then, that the 2009 Japanese Design Promo 2nd Grade Winner Spikey-Eared Pichu card can fetch such a high price, with a Fanatics Collect auction reaching $25,800 in June 2023

There are some good nuggets of info in here, for sellers looking at what to stock, collectors looking for whats the rage, and players looking at deck trends

These boxes are really fun to open and bring back that rush of nostalgia of opening pokemon cards without having to pay a huge premium
