japanese entei pokemon card - #244 Retreat Cost Entei-Holo (244) 2000 Pokemon Japanese

Honorable Mention #3 (#12 Overall)

6 Shining Noctowl: First Edition Neo Destiny (Secret Rare) $631.04 Shining In The Night Shining Noctowl stands out as this Pokemon's undeniable grail card its best and most valuable appearance in the history of the Pokemon TCG

If you're sticking to the Vampire Aristocrats theme then the first cards I'd pick up would be Vampiric Tutor (finds Skullclamp and has Vampire in it!), Bloodletter of Aclazotz which doubles your drain / damage output on your turn absolutely wild, Bloodline Keeper provides sac fodder and a strong anthem, Legion's Landing nice thematic ramp, and Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord thematic ramp and removal

MTG also has thousands of players worldwide which creates a problem: gift cards would have different values in different countries
