So I was wondering why the four Neo sets are typically more expensive than 1st Gen WoTC -Base, Jungle, Fossil, Rocket. Etc
Was it due to smaller print runs of the 2nd generation compared to 1st generation and therefore less supply now?
Thankfully I’ve managed to locate what looks to be a decent quality Neo Genesis set at a very good price so will try and upload a few pics when it arrives 
A wonderful piece of advice many have shared on this forum so far is to try and get hold the expensive items of your wishlist first. Great advice and I figured with how expensive the Neo sets are now becoming I should try and get hold of them sooner rather than later.

In part due to smaller print runs, especially compared to jungle, fossil and rocket.
Also, there was a lot of discussion about the seemingly rapid price increase in PSA graded neo holos in the early part of the year just before and around the time of the covid outbreak. In particular regarding a certain Neo genesis typhlosion… At that time prices were approaching 1st edition base prices, which seemed strange. However, now all the talk is about base set that have increased a lot in recent months. All the neo sets are great, and gen2 is very popular and nostalgic for many, and the prices were probably too low for a very long time, especially when considering lower print runs compared to most of the 1st gen sets.

Besides being rare-very rare, some of these sets are extremely hard to grade, since the printing condition is pretty poor. Even some unlimited Neo is pretty hard to find in good condition/high grades.
Also, they might be more “niche” compared to the base set but since there are less available, less potential cards even if the buyer pool is reduced.

I personally think neo artworks are better than jungle/fossil/rocket and maybe base. Base set is pure nostalgia for me.
