What makes one Zapdos ex worth more than another?
3 versions are chase rarities (Rare Secret, Ultra Rare and Special Illustration Rare), and these are usually the most valuable. 3 versions are secret rares, numbered past the set total. They span 3 eras (NP, EX and Scarlet & Violet); older cards in top condition are scarcer. No version is Standard-legal right now, so demand comes from collectors. Condition is the biggest swing — a Near Mint copy can sell for several times a played one.
