The Bulbasaur Master Ball Holo 001 card is a visual masterpiece
I have found in my own life what helps me tremendously with Pokemon spending and enjoyment/hobby spending in general is writing this stuff out so I have some sort of budgeted plan
As a side note, Nishida really made the EX era holo series

Either way, its interesting speculative history, and the Topsun cards deserve a place in the conversation for the original Pokemon cards along with Bandai Carddass Series 1 and of course Base Set (which also has a good argument for the first cards to be manufactured, but again all we know is the release date of each set)
Enjoy the simplicity as long as you can, because one day well be looking back at this point of the life cycle with envious eyes and a nostalgic mind
