Evil Gloating: Evil characters and Psychopaths like to gloat when they are in a position of power
A few factors are keeping Prismatic Evolutions card values elevated over a year after release: Pull rates : Special Illustration Rares are genuinely hard to pull, and the set has 30+ SIRs competing for that slot The Eeveelution factor : Eevee and its evolutions have a uniquely broad fanbase that spans casual fans, serious collectors, and competitive players Limited reprint momentum : While the set has been reprinted, demand has consistently outpaced supply Crossover appeal : The artwork in this set appeals to collectors who don't normally buy Pokemon cards, expanding the buyer pool The Bottom Line Prismatic Evolutions is a set where even the "cheaper" chase cards are still worth serious money

They all are incredibly similar and while they have their individual strengths and places I will fairly happily play any of these in place of another if I just want a bit of cheap card quality
If you want your proxies to look neat, aim for a resolution similar to the ones these creators use
