The short, expensive tail of the set.
You can own 277 of the 282 priced cards in Scarlet & Violet for about $5,344. The median card is $3.54. The remaining $2,892 sits in just 5 chase cards, and one of them (Pikachu with Grey Felt Hat, $1,094) is 13% of the entire set on its own. A full set is not one long climb. It is a cheap, fast 59% and then a very short, very expensive tail.
PRICIER THAN THE BOX
The single most valuable card in this set costs $796.46 more than one sealed booster box of it. Box price TCGplayer, as of 2026-08-31.

Odds are measured rates from TCGplayer Infinite pull-rate study (8,000+ packs); The Pokémon Company publishes no official odds. The chase math assumes every card in a tier is equally likely within its slot, and prices the packs at the tracked booster-box price. It is arithmetic, not a promise.
A Scarlet & Violet booster box opens to $136 in singles on average against a real $296 box price; 1% of boxes beat the box. Half of all boxes land between $101 and $163.
Simulated with the same sourced pull-rate model and card pools as the pack simulator; singles at TCGplayer market. Unpriced cards count $0 (258/258 priced). Tiers without published rates are excluded. Sealed box price: TCGplayer.
