To put a set of ANS9 golds together would take between $5K - $7K, so with several series like that it gets silly. I'll try to keep everything but the golds going, but even that can be tough!
Yah, for THAT price, I'd MUCH rather have a piece of original art, or something NOT mass-produced. I always wonder, too, if the people working at the printing houses, etc., could easily just print up extras of chase cards & put them on eBay. OR change how many are printed from what it says on the box. It's certainly unethical, against policy, and strictly regulated... but would it be illegal? Probably not. It's not currency or an official document. So, I can't really put much value on
"manufactured rarities" like that. I like "rare" to occur when something is changed unexpectedly. Rare like "Bumchex". Rare like "Toadal". Rare like a day where you don't hear coverage of "who tweeted who about the Kardashians" on the Network news.
