What stung me the worst was the realization that I might have avoided this situation if I had simply purchased the rare Pokmon cards I was looking for
Single-row boxes hold 500 to 1,000 cards
14 cards of rarity rare or higher (2: 27% 3: 2% 4: less than 1%)
By the way, Ive also been looking at the cards in the two lists above and studying their prices on TCGPLAYER (the main American online store specializing in Pokmon cards), and it looks like the Trainer cards will still probably cost $40 dollars (minus Erika, which costs $4 in Moderately Played condition on TCGPLAYER, but which has a cheap Supporter reprint from Cosmic Eclipse)
Players are constantly foaming at the mouth for new proliferate cards, and this one gives you that plus phasing, the best form of protection in the game
I have often built 41 card decks with the soul aim of having a more precise land to spell ratio
