What this means if you are building it

You can own 201 of the 206 priced cards in Brilliant Stars for about $311. The median card is $0.18. The remaining $537 sits in just 5 chase cards, and one of them (Charizard V (Alternate Full Art), $330) is 39% of the entire set on its own. A full set is not one long climb. It is a cheap, fast 36% and then a very short, very expensive tail.
