Metapod — the cocoon stage no one expects to cost anything, until you check the Legendary Collection reverse holo. A line of quiet reverse-holo sleepers.
Metapod does exactly one thing in the games — Harden — and its card lineup is almost as still. But the cocoon hides a couple of genuine sleepers: reverse-holo commons that nobody saved and the market quietly rediscovered. Priciest first.
Legendary Collection (2002) slipped a 'reverse' holo parallel into packs, and its commons were treated as throwaways. This Metapod survived in clean grade so rarely that the discarded cocoon is now the most valuable card in the line.
