>>45232037That doesn't really have anything to do with what I was saying about the Reserve List. The Reserve List is a list of cards that WotC has said they'll never reprint, ever. MtG is a game that gets reprints quite often (though, some not as often as players would want) so this is actually relevant. It's primarily composed of cards from the early-late 90s, and essentially means "HEY COLLECTORS, THERE WILL NEVER BE NEW PRINTINGS OF THESE CARDS, BUY THEM THE FUCK UP"
Pokemon doesn't reprint cards in this way, so the older cards go up in value more uniformly, with final evolution starters being the only real exceptions.
