So I have been seeing several different Pokemon first editions on eBay selling - they appear to be the exact same card, same grade, but are selling for hundreds apart. I am trying to get back into Pokemon now after having it a big part of my childhood, however I do not know the values. I understand base set, unlimited, holo, some of the basics - but feel I am missing something with the values. Input, thoughts, information on what I am missing? This is just one example... it it just demand at the time?
