What affects the value of Team Aqua's Cacturne (Japanese)
Holo Rare is a premium tier, pulled less often than a regular rare, which tends to support the value. The set dates from 2003, so the copies in circulation are limited and well-kept ones are harder to find. This is the Japanese print. Japanese and English printings are separate print runs, so each has its own price. The card has 1 other printing, and the version, set and language you pick can change the price.
