But its not. They literally just keep making cards. The card company is winning so hard right now.

Simple. Anything is only as valuable as someone is willing to pay for it. People are willing to pay butt loads for cardboard with pictures on it.

But not enough to outpace demand. Hence the prices.

the most valuable cards are "1st edition" prints that were printed like 20 years ago. They don't print those ones anymore. and for them to be in perfect (grade 10) condition after so long because they are "just cardboard" is massive too. I think people collect more modern cards hoping to catch lightning in a bottle some time in the future.

It's mostly a bubble. Some content creators have really hyped up Pokemon cards as a collectible and so now people are coming back to it.

each set has a card takes opening like several boxes just for a chance to get

even if the print millions of boxes, quite often the populations of such cards are just in the thousands

as such there is alot more people than amount of that card printed that want it

Because you can just open packs of cards for tons of views. Its insane.

Actually incorrect.

As it happens the newer pokemon cards already crashed in value with battle styles and that wasn't the first time for it to have happened.

Pokemon evolutions from 5 years ago for a time was considered worthless trash. Now it is highly coveted.

Same will happen to celebrations.
