The Temporal Forces secret rares everyone wants
The rarest is Raging Bolt ex (#218), a Hyper Rare. The priciest by market value is Gastly (#177) at about $112.48 — so the scarcest pull and the most expensive one are different cards here.

Finishing the Temporal Forces secret-rare run
Landing all 56 is the hard part of completing Temporal Forces; they push the full checklist to 218 cards and a master set to 358. Most of the set's resale value sits in this 56-card band, so even a near-complete Temporal Forces binder can be missing the bulk of its value if the secret rares aren't in yet.
