These “Bulk” Cards Are Quietly Climbing in Value
Think bulk cards aren’t worth anything? Think again. Some of the most low-key staples in Standard are quietly outperforming Double Rares—and smart players are stocking up.
Arven is everywhere right now. With his consistent effect that lets you search two cards for the cost of one, it’s no wonder he’s a four-of in most competitive decks. Printed across multiple sets and promos, and yet… he’s still holding solid value. Why? Because consistency is king, and Arven delivers it.
Then there’s Night Stretcher, a sleeper card from Shrouded Fable that’s proving to be anything but common. With the power to recycle any Pokémon or Basic Energy from the discard while replacing itself in hand, it’s become essential in strategies from Gardevoir to Miraidon. Limited print, high demand—it’s a recipe for value.
Lastly, Counter Catcher. If you’re playing anything that falls behind in Prize trades (hello Dragapult and Gardevoir), this card is a game-changer. It’s been around before, sure—but for many players, this current print run is their only way to get it. Demand is climbing, and the supply? Not so much.
Don’t sleep on these cards. They’re not just playable—they’re profitable.
