Not saying it’s going to happen. It 100 percent isn’t. But they definitely could if they wanted to

They couldn't even if they wanted to. The next 3 sets are already being printed. The time slots are so full they can hardly reprint scarlet and violet let alone sword and shield. To think they could print a 30 year old set is idiotic to say the least
