Market Snapshot
Prices remain volatile in the first 48 hours. Some Futuristic Rares have already seen sharp swings as more sealed product reaches the secondary market. Collectors are advised to wait for broader data before locking in high prices.
Pull rate reports from thousands of packs suggest Futuristic Rares are landing around 1 in 117 packs, while the rarest reported hits sit far lower.
What Collectors Are Saying
Many openers describe the set as more rewarding than recent expansions, with consistent hits of Illustration Rares and Double Rares. The guaranteed Pikachu Rare in every pack has also been a popular talking point.
Shivam Das News will update this list as more sales data and major pulls emerge over the coming days.
