Why is the Team Rocket set still so undervalued?

After looking at the Neo sets, you can argue Team Rocket is underrated, but if that’s the case you need to include the Gym sets as underrated as well. Also, the price of a set is much more complex than how people feel about it. If the pop is higher on the PSA 10 cards that could be one explanation for a lower price that has nothing to do with popularity of the cards.

Good point. Just a comparison of charizards, dark zard came before blaines zard. But because there’s 333 1st edition psa 10 copies of dark zard as opposed to 231 1st edition psa 10 cards or blaines zard, that might also be why.

The team rocket set has always been my favorite. I love the dark pokemon and their art. I love the box and pack arts. I agree with you that it is insanely undervalued and sitting right next to the gym sets and neo discovery in underappreciated wotc sets. However, I decided to check booster box prices and surprisingly 1st ed TR boxes are regularly selling around the $1,900 mark while 1st ed fossil is only sitting around $1,600. Jungle pushing over 2k. Not sure why those prices are what they are but I definitely found it interesting.
