Karen's Tyranitar, the biggest drop this week

One of the week's biggest drops lands on a staple that priced itself out of reach.

today's card · the others down this week

Why did it drop so far?

I checked this twice because $109 felt like a typo. The earlier price probably rested on one expensive sale; a week of cheaper copies selling would do it. My guess is the card gives some of this back.
