Every SM8a: Dark Order 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.
You can own 54 of the 64 priced cards in SM8a: Dark Order for about $77. The median card is $1. The remaining $213 sits in just 10 chase cards, and one of them (Jasmine - 058/052, $60) is 21% of the entire set on its own. A full set is not one long climb. It is a cheap, fast 27% and then a very short, very expensive tail.
Computed from this set's own recorded value series; windows are stated and nothing is modeled. Medians anchor the return windows so a single outlier day never makes the figure.
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.
Breadth: 9 cards up · 13 down · 42 flat over 30 days. Biggest mover: Hoopa GX - 054/052 (+51.9%).
