This isn’t just about chasing old-school grails. The driving force behind the recent surge is the debut of the “Overframe Rare”\u2014a cutting-edge rarity introduced in premium sets like the Limit Over Collection<\/em>. This fresh printing technique makes the iconic monster illustration literally burst out of the classic card border, catching the eyes of both hardcore collectors and casual fans alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
