The other important factor is the format
The card feels reminiscent of the Destined Rivals version of the card, and given Team Rocket's popularity, it's not surprising that this card has increased in value over time
You may put that card on the bottom.) 7.2/10$0.27 Catacomb Sifter Creature Eldrazi Drone 2/3 Devoid (This card has no color.) When this creature enters, create a 1/1 colorless Eldrazi Scion creature token
Perfect support cards: Contamination : Soft-lock that pairs well with Ultima's land manipulation Urza's Saga : Doesn't care about colored mana and finds utility Crucible of Worlds : Lets you reuse lands while opponents get choked out Forsaken Monument : Turns all that colorless mana into a buff and ramp source Summon: Bahamut Now we're talking
Collectors look closely at: Card density consistency Cardstock quality verification Weight deviation detection Printing alignment and texture The difference between real and fake can be subtle
There is certainly an element of faster determination of gameplay in the current format, and there's also a lot of balance on play/draw that makes things very rough right now
