Collecting Salamence

Salamence carries both a VMAX and a Mega form, giving it two separate modern eras layered onto its original 2003 Dragon debut — and a correspondingly deep 30-card pool with 12 clearing the premium tier. 5ban Graphics alone drew nine of them, close to a third of the whole line. The chase card is the 2007 Power Keepers Salamence ex, and every single card in the pool sits above common-or-uncommon pricing.
