Red Elemental Blast and Pyroblast - GREAT cards and I know you just added them
A great card can be worth a decent amount even if it's printed at common rarity, while a super rare one that nobody wants to play could be worth significantly less
It turns out that if you make a card rare enough and give it sweet art, anything is possible
Packs, boxes, and cases each offer a different trade-off between price, guarantees, and the odds of hitting what you want
And the last two sets released truly are the epitome of this, with a clearly unpolished and perhaps straight-up bad set ( Spider-Man ) leading to a vibrant and exciting product filled with new and interesting mechanics ( Avatar )
