A few of these cards going for about $25 each on ebay, maybe not as rare as we’re thinking?
That looks beautiful!

Those amazing rares rayray and celibi omg 
, I’m trying to decide if I should buy the complete set on eBay or buy a bunch of booster boxes off of Amazonjp
1 per box. I think Jirachi is expensive for being playable
`Jirachi – Metal – HP70
Basic Pokemon
Ability: Dream Oracle
Once during your turn, if this Pokemon is your Active Pokemon, you may look at the top 2 cards of your deck. Put 1 of them into your hand and return the other 1 on top of your deck.
[P][F][M] Amazing Star: Search your deck for up to 7 Basic Energy cards and attach them to your Pokemon in any way you like. Then, shuffle your deck.`
The ability is pretty good. The attack would be tough to pull off with 3 different energy types required - but if you could then that’s a lot of energy acceleration.

You’d have to go second and do something like N’s resolve onto a Dragon type tag team and use tag switch.
Hard to pull off in standard, but it looks super juicy in expanded
And the cheap ones are gone…
Oh man and I’m late to the party, but the party is good!
Just ordered a bunch of boxes and amazing rares.
Can’t wait to get them and feel the texture, these cards look so damn good.
Finally something that is not just the full art in silver or gold!
Did you order boxes off of eBay? Is that going to be my best option for a US seller?
Scott is selling boxes on ebay shipped from the US for $100, that’s not a bad deal
Just ordered 2 boxes, thanks.
This is not always going to work, but it did for me, and might be worth a shot:
I searched eBay by closest location and found someone 30 miles from my house. I asked him if he would do local pickup - he agreed - so I purchased one box. During the local pickup, we talked, exchanged numbers, and now I can go meet up with him and pay $55 per box. It’s always worth it to ask.

Opened a box today! These cards are beautiful. Admittedly, it’s strange opening a box with 20 cards and 7 cards per pack. My wife pulled the Amazing Rare Jirachi on the second pack. Has anyone else opened any?

Never saw people making the effort to make good pictures:
Not perfect, but you can see the texturing under different light.

I really hope this isn’t the only set that has amazing rares.
I don’t think it will be although it would also be cool if it stays a rare feature!
