Collecting Lugia

Lugia's chase card is the 2003 Aquapolis Rare Secret, a step above the standard Rare Holo treatment most legendaries got in that era. None of its 37 cards are commons or uncommons, and 26 sit above $20, making this one of the pricier single-Pokemon pages in the set. Toyste Beach has the most credits at four, ahead of the PLANETA studio artists Mochizuki and Igarashi with three each.
