>>46307924>Some things will always have more value to people because of intrinsic values.No aspect of any card has intrinsic value, at least not any more so than a card belonging to a limited print run. It's all arbitrary.
>Cards that have better gameplay effects are more advantageous to use when playing the game.This is of course why the competitively viable base set Hitmonchan is and always has been far more expensive and sought after than the totally unplayable base set Charizard.
>What intrinsic value does a card hold for simply being printed before other cards just like it? The answer is none.You understand the concept of "first editions" (and the valuing of first editions) predates Pokemon cards by a century or two, right?
>If it were not for the FE stamp, no one would care -You can say this about literally any aspect of a card that differentiates it from another card. "If it weren't for the holofoil, no one would care," or "if it weren't a charizard, no one would care," or "if it weren't for that printing error, no one would care," etc.
What kind of retard do you have to be to think "if it weren't the thing it is, people would treat it differently" is some kind of profound realization?
