Every s8a-G: 25th Anniversary Golden Box card in the moonstone catalog, in collector-number order. Market is the same TCGplayer figure each card page quotes; a dot means we hold no price for that card yet.

If you are building it

You can own 5 of the 15 priced cards in s8a-G: 25th Anniversary Golden Box for about $10. The median card is $3.74. The remaining $141 sits in just 10 chase cards, and one of them (Pikachu VMAX, $45) is 30% of the entire set on its own. A full set is not one long climb. It is a cheap, fast 7% and then a very short, very expensive tail.

Computed from this set's own recorded value series; windows are stated and nothing is modeled. Each return is the first recorded value inside its window against the last. We withhold it when the number of cards in the basket changed inside the window, when a single step moved more than 20%, or when the series cannot cover the window.

Rip report

No rip report for s8a-G: 25th Anniversary Golden Box

No published pull-rate study exists for this set, so there is nothing honest to simulate. We only rip sets whose per-pack odds come from a published, sourced study, and an inherited or inferred rate would put an invented number under every figure on this panel.

We publish a rip simulation only where per-pack odds come from a published, sourced study. Which sets have published pull rates counts what exists: 31 of the 110 English sets sold in booster packs, resting on eleven studies.
