Where it falls short: it deliberately skips the bulk of the catalog (focus is roughly $10+ chase cards and sealed), so it's not a reference for everything you own
My Investor Strategy for Chaos Rising: How Im Positioning From my portfolio experience: 40% sealed (ETBs/Booster Boxes preorder now for hold), 30% graded chases (target Greninja SIR raw grade Day 1), 20% prerelease events (flips), 10% diversified (earlier Megas)
Evolution Sage isn't the most potent proliferater, but it's a must-have for a green deck looking to use the keyword
Now Im going back to sleeving and re-ordering my currently 632 counting Pikachu Card collection
Also check pop reports i.e., how many copies exist in a given grade to assess rarity
Overall, Black Bolt is lacking when compared to White Flare, but that does not mean that it is not among the best sets of the last year, as it has some of the most beautiful cards of 2025
