Bumping this thread since it’s been a good 6-months since there was any discussion on it… 
Anyone have any current thoughts on the Call of Legends SL (shining legends) subset, especially after seeing the hype for the 2017 Shining Legends set?
The CoL SL cards picked up in popularity in a BIG way last Sping/early Summer and was actually quite overhyped…you had tons of people just hoarding and sending SL cards into PSA en masse, it was all over FB/IG, etc…eBay prices started to skyrocket for ungraded nm-m cards and, at the moment, it’s extremely difficult finding truly mint ungraded copies of some cards (Lugia, Ho-Oh, Ray, etc) and when they do pop up the cost is usually around $80-120…
That said, the SL subset managed to somehow remain low pops for PSA 10 for all 11 cards:
So, it looks like after the initial hype died down when this subset was being ‘rediscovered’ the POPs still managed to remain low, and if you look at a majority of the SL cards PSA is definitely not giving out 10s easily (these are quite hard to grade in 10).
I’ll touch again on some of the main points about the SL cards that were brought up in this thread:
- Shiny legendaries; the “original” Shining Legends cards, if you will.
- Distinctive silver holo border to differentiate this subset
- Some really tremendous artwork in this subset, namely Lugia and Ho-Oh (in general, the artwork was kind of an in-between state before things started to go really 3D/more modern a la 5Ban).
- Did not have a general release in Japan outside of 1,000 copies of each of the 11 SL cards as promos.
- Deoxys, Dialga and Palkia have not had a shiny depiction in any other set/card in the tcg.
- Low PSA 10 Pops, not too much sealed product readily available, packs and the few booster box stragglers are extremely expensive, difficult to grade in 10
Don’t get it twisted, this set will never touch Gold Star/Neo Shining status…but even after the short period of overhype, this set continues to still be underappreciated/overlooked but imo is just extremely collectible…i’ve gotten some crazy interest on my SL sets on IG and curious what other E4 folks think.
Edit - here’s a set pic:
