07Why Collectors Want It

  • Crystal Guardians was the 2006 EX-era set headlined by Crystal-type chase cards; the base Pokémon prints like Ivysaur form the master-set backbone.
  • The reverse-holo parallel is the version graders actually chase here; the base print is a checklist requirement.
  • Raw asking sits in the mid-teens; Crystal Guardians' headline grails are the Crystal-Type variants, not the base Pokémon.
  • A natural pickup for collectors building the full EX-era Ivysaur or Bulbasaur-line run.
