I guess the good thing about how Pokémon rarities have evolved over time is that the bulk of the value in a given set is tied up in especially rare art variants, but nothing is exclusively available as one of those rare art variants, so if you are interested in just playing the game, you can acquire the more basic, mechanically-identical versions of those cards for relatively cheap. The most basic version of Cynthia has a nice median price of 69 cents.
