Finishing the Ascended Heroes secret-rare run
Landing all 78 is the hard part of completing Ascended Heroes; they push the full checklist to 295 cards and a master set to 613. Most of the set's resale value sits in this 78-card band, so even a near-complete Ascended Heroes binder can be missing the bulk of its value if the secret rares aren't in yet.
