07Why Collectors Want It
- Legendary Collection (2002) was the set that introduced reverse-holo "mirror foil" cards to the Pokémon TCG; its reverses are now among the most hunted vintage commons.
- The reverse holo (~$92) is the prize; the standard #79 is a common.
- Surface and centering issues keep clean copies scarce.
