Every Vending Machine cards Series 3 (Green) 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 42 of the 52 priced cards in Vending Machine cards Series 3 (Green) for about $1,451. The median card is $40.1. The remaining $2,187 sits in just 10 chase cards, and one of them (Ooyama's Pikachu, $1,000) is 27% of the entire set on its own. A full set is not one long climb. It is a cheap, fast 40% 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: 39 cards up · 2 down · 11 flat over 30 days. Biggest mover: Haunter (Sumiyoshi Kizuki) (+49.4%).
