## Buying smart in 151

Charizard ex anchors the high end, but 151 has 23 Illustration and Special Illustration Rares and 42 secret rares in total, so there's a full value ladder beneath it. If Charizard ex is out of budget, the runners-up above give you the same set at a fraction of the cost — and prices shift, so check a current sold-listings page before you buy or sell.
