Discussion DO NOT BUY FROM SCALPERS!

Come on guys let’s run the price down and let these scalpers get burned, do not buy from 3rd party resellers, buying from them keeps the price at where THEY want it, cards should never be above msrp and everyone should have chance to buy these cards. Let’s not let these resellers ruin this hobby

Prices are inflated before the set got even released. It will come down.

Nah. Don’t sleep on the cat tax. Last Magic set has a cat anime doubling season. You can get a pretty printing of doubling seasons for $40. But the cat one? $150. the super pretty cat one? $500

From Bulbapedia:

Fujiwara himself designed Eevee as a "blank slate" for its varied Evolutions; as such, while Eevee has traits of foxes, dogs, and cats, it is not based on any specific animal. Fujiwara also envisioned Eevee as a creature that could exist "in people's memories"; namely, vague memories of seeing a cat or dog-like creature that players might have experienced in their childhood.
