I was looking at the 2017 pikachu battle festa and champion league cards (sm-p 61 and 68 respectively). I noticed their pop report is quite different. We’re talking about 100s for the champion league vs 500+ for the battle festa, even when comparing to pikachu battle festas from other year (2014-2016).
Besides what is written on bulbapedia, does anyone know anything about the difference between the battle festa and champion league events? On bulbapedia, it looks like there were less champion league events. It seems like the pikachu champion league is more rare although this is not reflected in the price.
The champion’s league one was a reprint of the battle festa one, so to me it makes sense that people would want the earlier version although the pop is higher.
