Collecting & Where to Buy
Sun & Moon is out of print and trades on the secondary market. Common singles are inexpensive, while the Pokémon-GX, Full Art and secret rares carry the strongest premiums.
Collector tip: the Full Art and secret cards are the prize — check borders and surface closely on any graded copy.
