If you are building it

You can own 167 of the 177 priced cards in Sm Base Set for about $248. The median card is $0.23. The remaining $443 sits in just 10 chase cards, and one of them (Umbreon GX (Secret), $135) is 20% of the entire set on its own. A full set is not one long climb. It is a cheap, fast 34% and then a very short, very expensive tail.

CHEAPER THAN THE BOX

The single most valuable card in this set costs $853.96 less than one sealed booster box of it. Box price TCGplayer, as of 2026-09-26.

Two recorded prices. The odds of pulling the card are the rip simulation below, not this line.

Rip report

No rip report for Sm Base Set

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.
