Some collectors view BW005 as a steady, low pressure pickup for Black and White promo sets rather than a speculative chase card. Its wide distribution likely keeps supply comfortable, which may limit sharp price swings over time. This tends to make it a common choice for collectors building complete promo runs rather than short term traders. Interest can shift with broader market attention to early Black and White cards.
