Finishing the Pitch Black secret-rare run
Landing all 36 is the hard part of completing Pitch Black; they push the full checklist to 120 cards and a master set to 194. Most of the set's resale value sits in this 36-card band, so even a near-complete Pitch Black binder can be missing the bulk of its value if the secret rares aren't in yet.
