Every Random Constructed Starter Decks (Venusaur/Charizard/Blastoise) 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 21 of the 26 priced cards in Random Constructed Starter Decks (Venusaur/Charizard/Blastoise) for about $77. The median card is $4.5. The remaining $292 sits in just 5 chase cards, and one of them (Charizard ex, $126) is 34% of the entire set on its own. A full set is not one long climb. It is a cheap, fast 20% 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.
This set's rip report could not be built right now. No odds are ever invented to fill the gap.
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: 0 cards up · 0 down · 26 flat over 30 days. Biggest mover: Charizard ex (+0.0%).
