In our opinion, there is very little exclusive content in this book that would garner it's price tag of 1760 Yen (since 95% of the contents are pretty much recycled images).
Even if you are new to this card game, it would make more sense to collect the actual cards yourself (in a binder) rather than flipping through a book for an image of that card.
However, the draw that we believe most people buy this book for, would be the 2 exclusive promo cards included in this book. Unlike standard magazine-distributed promo cards (where players actually want to read the magazine or plays the other card game), the only way to get these 2 cards is to buy this catalogue. And since nobody will buy this book for the book itself, it will be rather difficult to find these 2 cards in the secondary market at a price point lower than the retail price of this catalogue.
