Why these cards lead the set
Mega Charizard X ex SIR (#125) is the most expensive card printed in the Mega Evolution era so far, full stop. Charizard premium plus the fan-favorite X form plus SIR scarcity stacked into one card. At ~$760 it costs more than most sealed cases return.
Mega Charizard X ex Mega Hyper Rare (#130) is the “affordable” version at ~$330, and even the plain Ultra Rare (#109) clears $34 — the entire Charizard ladder carries the set.
Beyond Charizard, Dawn SIR (#129) is the sleeper: trainer SIRs from Charizard-led sets get overshadowed at release and historically recover once the set rotates out of print.
