Mid Era
Between the vintage classics and today's chase cards lies a full generation of sets: Diamond & Pearl LV.X cards, XY full arts and the Sun & Moon era's shiny grails. The Mid Era Index tracks these 2008–2019 printings, a market with its own nostalgia cycle that moves to a different rhythm than either neighbour.
