Every Darkness Ablaze 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 199 of the 209 priced cards in Darkness Ablaze for about $121. The median card is $0.2. The remaining $136 sits in just 10 chase cards, and one of them (Charizard VMAX, $44) is 17% of the entire set on its own. A full set is not one long climb. It is a cheap, fast 47% and then a very short, very expensive tail.

of boxes beat the $366 box price
We simulated 10,000 booster boxes of Darkness Ablaze using today's real market price for every card in the set, the real box price ($366, $10.18/pack), and the published per-pack pull rates for this set. Most simulated boxes came out worth less than they cost. The contents are worth 21.5% of the box ask on average.

What a box actually pulls (sim average)
| Hit tier | Published rate | Pool | Avg / box | Mean value | Best case |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| VMAX / VSTAR | 1-in-23 (4.42%) (inherited) | 7 | 1.58 | $9.40 | Charizard VMAX ($44) |

Rows that repeat a pool are not a duplication: our catalog files full-art and alt-art V under one rarity, and rainbow and gold secrets under another, so the two published rates roll separately over the same cards.
Not simulated. Radiant rare: rated at 1-in-20 (5.01%) by the study, but our catalog holds no card of this tier for this set. A tier nobody has published a rate for is left out rather than folded into a neighbouring tier.
Simulation, clearly labeled as one. Card prices and the $366 box price (Darkness Ablaze Booster Box, 36 packs) are live recorded data. Per-pack odds are published measurements: every rate here is inherited from an era study of 8,000+ packs, not measured on this set (the study opened packs of Lost Origin) (tcgplayer.com, 8,000+ packs). The simulation assumes every card in the tier is equally likely, which flatters any tier holding one expensive card: valuing each tier at its median card instead of its mean moves the expected value by 33.7% on this set. Commons, uncommons and reverse holos are worth $46 of the box before any hit. Unpriced cards count $0 (201 of 201 pooled cards are priced). Selling costs, fees and shipping are NOT deducted, so real-world outcomes skew worse than shown. Re-simulated every 2 days. Not financial advice.
Breadth: 83 cards up · 78 down · 48 flat over 30 days. Biggest mover: Butterfree V (Full Art) (+23.8%).
