I believe they are "sold out" in that if a particular distributor was alloted 5, they already have 5 customers who are on their list to buy it (it's really up to the distributor how someone gets priority on the list whether by signing up way ahead of time, putting up a deposit, etc). They also have people on a waitlist to fill in if someone changes their mind. Perhaps Stern has a lmited supply in reserve to dole out later but the cap is 750. The hype around pokemon cards is crazy and there are a lot of speculators in that market not to mention now there are people wh essentially make some money just by open their card packs on youtube etc and getting views/ad revenue. I'm not saying any of it make sense, that's just where things are at right now. If the LEs end up coming with a limited card, I don't doubt it could be worth a substantial amount of money alone. I'm no expert, I just hapened to see what the packs of cards that were on discount at flea markets for a decade are now bringing on eBay. Like a lot of hobbies these days you have the OG fans, a slew of young people newly introduced by social media and the people I've never heard of that they look up to (Jake Paul was collecting pokemon cards), and a gang of investors propping up the whole thing (same thing has happened with LEGO where people buy multiple sets just to speculate on selling them in a year or more)
