Tips to finish the set

At 244 cards, Destined Rivals is a large set that requires patience to complete. Buy singles for the rarest cards rather than chasing them through sealed product. Start with the common and uncommon base, then work through the holo rares. Secret rares and full arts are best purchased individually.

1. 01

   Identify Destined Rivals cards by set code sv10 / symbol — do not sort by art alone

2. 02

   Split bulk commons/uncommons from holos and special rarities before pricing

3. 03

   Track Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex and Team Rocket's Crobat ex as priority singles, not pack EV fantasies

4. 04

   Scan or checklist-gap the rest after the chase budget is honest
