What this means if you are building it

You can own 283 of the 288 priced cards in Paldea Evolved for about $1,286. The median card is $0.17. The remaining $748 sits in just 5 chase cards, and one of them (Magikarp - 203/193, $402) is 20% of the entire set on its own. A full set is not one long climb. It is a cheap, fast 63% and then a very short, very expensive tail.
