What this means if you are building it

You can own 189 of the 194 priced cards in Mega Evolution for about $629. The median card is $0.2. The remaining $1,064 sits in just 5 chase cards, and one of them (Mega Lucario ex - 188/132, $276) is 16% of the entire set on its own. A full set is not one long climb. It is a cheap, fast 37% and then a very short, very expensive tail.
