Norman Osborn / Green Goblin I really enjoy the idea of transforming permanents that also function as MDFCs
Iridas SAR in VSTAR Universe , the previous Japanese set, boasts a market price of 137.42 (around $165) while the male character Adaman, whose card has the same rarity rating and a similar composition, is listed at 21.87 (around $26)
As such, here is a sample of what such would look like: Card Dimensions A Pokmon TCG card should have the following dimensions: a length of ~6.3cm (~2.5in), a width of ~8.8cm (~3.5in), and a thickness of ~0.3mm (~0.01in)
This allows you to use it not only as protection, but as a battle trick
For those who don't know, "holo" refers to the holofoil effect in the picture, and "shadowless" refers to the lack of shadow between the gold border and the blue background (later cards added a "shadow" to give the card depth.) Both of these properties make the card more valuable, and when combined with the 9 rating, you get the $2,200 price tag
