Japanese S&M Shining Legends Booster Box Sells for $2k

In Japan, this set was released to coincide with the release of the twentieth movie (Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You!), a slight reimagining of Ash’s Kanto Journey. In English, booster packs could not be obtained through standard booster boxes but instead through special collection boxes.

Sealed Type - Year: Booster Box (SM3+) - 2017
Contents: 20 packs (6 cards per pack)
Market Insight: This price point represents a significant surge, up ~300% vs sales of ~$500 seen in Feb 2025; the premium is driven by the drying supply of S&M era sealed product and the enduring popularity of the modern "Shining" chase cards (Mew, Rayquaza) and even more so, the iconic Mewtwo GX #78.
