The card is the second with Pikachu on the list, a clear sign of the popularity of the mascot.

Chandler (Twilight Masquerade 038/167)
2024 Trick or Trade Booster Bundle
The Chandelure is an interesting card, with its alluring light ability to have an opponent draw a card to accelerate his Mind Ruler attack. When facing decks that rely on a lot of cards, this can make Chandelure itself a valuable card to have in play. Of course, the animated light fixture wouldn’t be out of place in any haunted house either, although its card art does instead show it wandering the streets of a city at night.

This second Gengar card is only slightly more expensive than the previous one, with A market price of $0.37 on TCGPlayer At the time of writing. As such, its relative value to others Trick or deal Cards seems to be more likely based on Gengar’s popularity as a Pokemon, rather than the unusual Holofoil effect it uses.

Flutter Mane (Temporal Forces 078/162)
2024 Trick or Trade Booster Bundle
Being an ancient Paradox Pokemon card, this Flutter Mane has a gradient to its background that works to bring out the details of its new Holofoil effect particularly well.
