Ethan's Ho-OH ex (230/182)

Ethan's Ho-Oh ex (230/182) has seen a significant surge in value, jumping from its original price of $70 Dollars to recently selling for $180 Dollars. That more than double the price ! This card is just one example from the set that has appreciated in price, showcasing the powerful impact of nostalgia on collectors.
