This sealed booster box comes with 36 booster packs, each with 11 cards, for a total of 396! The fact that the set is composed of 66 cards means the odds of it containing at least one or two full sets are high! The cards have never been opened so we can assume that they are all in GEM MINT condition. This set brought along the introduction of Shining Pokémon into the game, including #65/64 - Shining Gyarados, and #66/64 - Shining Magikarp. Neo Revelation was the tenth set of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, released on September 21, 2001.

This booster box is currently being auctioned over at Heritage Auctions.Īccording to the item listing's description on Heritage Auctions' website: The front lid of the sealed, 1st Edition booster box of Neo Revelation from the Pokémon TCG. The booster box’s sale comes at a time when demand for Pokémon cards has led to worldwide shortages of recent sets, record-breaking sales of both individual cards and booster boxes, and unboxing videos of older sets have become the domain of notable YouTubers and celebrities alike.Heritage Auctions, an auction house based in Dallas, Texas, that primarily deals in comics, video games, trading cards, and other collectibles, has put a rare, sealed 1st Edition booster box of Neo Revelation from 2001 up for auction! Prospective bidders have until 2:50 PM Central Time (or 3:50 PM Eastern Time) on Friday, June 18th, to place a bid and stake a claim on this booster box. That sale marked the second time a world record had been set for the value of a sealed first-edition Pokémon TCG Base Set booster box in a matter of months, after a set sold for $198,000 in September 2020. Both exceeded the record amount paid for another sealed Base Set booster box in November last year: $360,000.
The $384,000 paid for the latest box doesn’t quite match the more than $400,000 paid for a similar sealed first-edition Base Set booster box in January. “To find a booster box like this one still sealed in its original shrink-wrap is no easy task due to the low print run, few have remained sealed and even fewer have come to market,” Heritage wrote in the booster box’s listing. While the booster box sold by Heritage Auctions on July 24th had some visible damage to the box itself - the auction house rated the box as “Very Good” condition, despite some wrinkling and “blunting” - it estimated that all of the cards within the booster packs would have remained in Gem Mint condition, the highest possible rating for collectible trading cards.
The original Base Set of Pokémon cards featured 102 unique cards based on the franchise’s first generation of Pokémon, including cards that now individually rank as some of the most valuable Pokémon cards in existence, such as the first-edition holographic Charizard. The booster box includes 36 booster packs, each with 11 cards inside, for a total of almost 400 cards. With previously registered sales ranging from 300,000 to close to 450,000 over the last 12 months, this is another interesting sales point for everyone’s dream.
The sealed first-edition Base Set booster box dates from the Pokémon TCG’s original English-language release by Magic: The Gathering maker Wizards of the Coast in January 1999. A 1st Edition Base Set booster box has sold for a record 432,000 on PWCC Premier Auction, only a week after the same elusive Pokemon TCG box sold for 312,000 on Heritage Auctions. A sealed booster box of first-edition Pokémon cards has sold for $384,000 at auction in the latest display of the trading card game’s exploding value.
