It captures the pure fury and violence which has come to define Gyarados.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fact that it&#8217;s a Master Ball Mirror card does elevate its value as well, since this print is significantly rarer than its ordinary counterpart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This card&#8217;s English version is 130\/165 of the 151 [MEW] set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The retail price of a Gyarados Master Ball Mirror (Pok\u00e9mon Card 151 [SV2a] 130\/165) card is 8,000 JPY (~US$53).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other TCG-related news, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/2024\/03\/28\/yu-gi-oh-tcg-the-winged-dragon-of-ra-is-still-iconic-quarter-century-chronicle-sidepride-qccp-jp200\/?slide=right\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Winged Dragon of Ra card from Quarter Century Chronicle side:Pride<\/a>.
