Finishing the Paldean Fates secret-rare run
Landing all 154 is the hard part of completing Paldean Fates; they push the full checklist to 245 cards and a master set to 326. Most of the set's resale value sits in this 154-card band, so even a near-complete Paldean Fates binder can be missing the bulk of its value if the secret rares aren't in yet.
