How these are measured

Computed from this set's own recorded value series; windows are stated and nothing is modeled. Each return is the first recorded value inside its window against the last. We withhold it when the number of cards in the basket changed inside the window, when a single step moved more than 20%, or when the series cannot cover the window.

The short, expensive tail of the set.

This split counts the 225 cards TCGplayer prices in this set; the card index below lists the 216 in our catalog.

If you are building it

You can own 215 of the 225 priced cards in Sword & Shield for about $198. The median card is $0.25. The remaining $339 sits in just 10 chase cards, and one of them (Snorlax VMAX (Secret), $108) is 20% of the entire set on its own. A full set is not one long climb. It is a cheap, fast 37% and then a very short, very expensive tail.

How the simulation works, tier by tier

We simulated 10,000 booster boxes of Sword & Shield using today's real market price for every card in the set, the real box price ($689, $19.14/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 17.7% of the box ask on average.

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 neighboring tier.

Simulation, clearly labeled as one. Card prices and the $689 box price (Sword & Shield 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 27.2% on this set. Commons, uncommons and reverse holos are worth $72 of the box before any hit. Unpriced cards count $0 (216 of 216 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: 101 cards up · 81 down · 34 flat over 30 days. Biggest mover: Lapras V (Full Art) (+24.2%).
