Latias and Latios GX from Team Up in 2019

This is a beautiful card, I don’t know why this worth much during the Sun and Moon era.
The entire set this card was featured in was the first to introduce “tag team” Pokemon, which featured more than one Pokemon on a card.
The price has gone absolutely nuts.
It was probably featured on a few too many TikTok posts that went viral.
This card was probably worth around $80AUD when the set first dropped.
But then again, not many people were interested in the Sun and Moon sets.
