-John Milton (1608-1674) #5 The sv sets have done some incredible full arts of non-ex pokemon that I really prefer over the outlined holo ex art
It is similar to clouding, but with a key difference: while clouding is an internal phenomenon that permanently dulls the cards surface, dirt is external and comes from contact with dirty hands, unclean environments, or greasy/adhesive substances
These tins have exploded in value in recent months, climbing from around $35 in October of 2024 to the current value of just above $90
However, they're still super fresh, and players will very possibly want to figure out a means to give these cards a home in their decks
The Box is the right format when: You're chasing the full set (commons through holos) and want to break a meaningful chunk in one go You're buying as an investment and plan to keep the box sealed You're opening with friends, doing a launch-day rip on stream, or running a group break You want the lowest per-pack cost on a release You're confident enough in the set's chase cards to commit 190-230 Boxes also tend to age better as collectibles
A single box provides ~9 RR Pokemon ex cards plus an ACE SPEC solid deck-building material
