If you know me, I love to take any opportunity to dive into the state of things, be it exploring Japanese stores to see how things are there, monitoring Pokemon Center product drops, covering the dramas, or comparing prices of cards that seem to be getting more expensive by the day
for instance, 2017s Alolan Midnight set only has one card that breaches the 40 barrier in Mallow, which has a market price of 472.50 (around $567)
This caused some stress on the Creative team, because creatively there's no difference between a creature on a card and one on a token, so the card concept avoids trying to explain what a "creature token" means from a flavor sense
