Item cards are typically single-use cards that can do anything from evolving Pokmon straight to Stage 3 without needing the relevant cards (a bit like a Shiny Stone!) to allowing you to shuffle your deck back into the pile and draw a fresh hand of cards
Between Pokemon and Magic: The Gathering , many children likely held cards worth thousands of dollars in the future while playing at school or trading friends
While very powerful in the right shell, Web of Life and Destiny won't be great in every green deck (this is no Great Henge)
Although it only works for one round, it can effectively prevent players who have a card in play that gives them a substantial amount of lore, or perhaps can even come in clutch at the end turns of a game
It holds a strong value in all conditions, as you won't find a first-edition copy of this card for less than $40, the price of a damaged copy
That makes the First edition Charizard, once again, the most expensive playable Pokmon card in the world
