Every Ancient Origins 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 97 of the 107 priced cards in Ancient Origins for about $543. The median card is $0.4. The remaining $2,744 sits in just 10 chase cards, and one of them (M Rayquaza EX (Shiny Full Art), $1,112) is 34% of the entire set on its own. A full set is not one long climb. It is a cheap, fast 17% 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.

Rip or hold
Rip report

No rip report for Ancient Origins

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.
