Pokémon 30th Anniversary set secondary prices stay low as chase cards prove easier to pull

IGN reports that after the Pokémon Trading Card Game 30th Anniversary set went on sale, collectors found its rare cards were relatively easy to obtain, keeping resale prices low. Only the Red, Green and Blue Mew cards are reselling in the low thousands of dollars, while most other cards sell for well under $250 and many top cards around $100 or less. Resellers on the r/PokeInvesting subreddit complained about weak returns.
