My only chance to open this product for a cheap price.
I purchased this Korean booster box of 2022 Sword & Shield Lost Abyss for about $27 from South Korea last year. The price spiked to about $55 in less than six months! An estimated 104 percent increase!
Booster boxes mainly spiked in value because the elusive SR 111/100 Giratina V (alternate art variation) has been selling for over $150 on a popular auction website over the past few months.
This product contains 30 packs, each containing 5 cards. Unlike English booster packs, Korean booster packs aren't guaranteed to contain a holographic card, and you can't find "Trainer Gallery" and "Radiant" cards. Below are the holographic cards that I pulled.
Holographic Cards
-
Rare Holo 007/100 Shiftry.
-
Rare Holo 034/100 Glastrier.
Glastrier can be ridden by Calyrex using the Reins of Unity to become Ice Rider Calyrex.
-
Rare Holo 044/100 Sableye.
-
Rare Holo 054/100 Dragapult.
Inspired by ghostly dragons and military aircraft, Dragapult is one of my favorite Pokemon from its era.
-
Rare Holo 055/100 Spectrier.
In the video games, Spectrier can be ridden by Calyrex to become Shadow Rider Calyrex.
-
Rare Holo 061/100 Barbaracle.
-
Rare Holo 075/100 Metagross.
-
Rare Holo 070/100 Krookodile.
-
RR 017/100 Delphox V.
Considered by many to be the second best starer from the XY era.
-
RR 037/100 Rotom V.
-
RR 066/100 Drapion V.
-
RR 082/100 Pidgeot V.
The only standard "V" card that I'm going to keep.
-
RRR 057/100 Aerodactyl VSTAR.
-
RRR 067/100 Drapion VSTAR.
It's always nice to pull a complete set of the standard V and VSTAR cards.
-
SR 110/100 Giratina V.
Nice! I ended up pulling my most wanted Full Art card! Overall, I pulled seven cards that's considered a "hit" in the English set. This is incredible value considering I pulled 15 hits (including "Trainer Gallery" and "Radiant" cards) from my last $160 English Lost Origin booster box.
