I believe that is from the green and red starter decks released in 98. Considering you can get the whole box for like $150-200 (give or take), its not worth it. Its maybe worth 25-30 max?
@linux – icollected always exaggerate their prices xD
Master Ball [1998 Quick Starter Set (Holo)] is worth between $12 - $20. I have frequently seen this card for sale between $13 - $15. It is rare, but it does make an appearance every so often.
I used to have a ton of them, and was selling them for less than $10 on eBay. I may have another, I’ll have to check.
No you weren’t, you were selling them for $20-30

It is definitely not worth that price. He had it listed in the thousands before and I sent him a message with multiple references showing him how ridiculous the price was.
Oh it’s icollected! You can negotiate prices with that seller. I got a Mew ex (the gift box one) dead cheap from him
