What this means if you are building it

You can own 120 of the 125 priced cards in Pitch Black for about $306. The median card is $0.13. The remaining $718 sits in just 5 chase cards, and one of them (Mega Darkrai ex - 116/084, $289) is 28% of the entire set on its own. A full set is not one long climb. It is a cheap, fast 30% and then a very short, very expensive tail.
