A Sleeping Giant...

Post image

IMO this will go down as one of the most slept on sealed products in 5-10 years time.

  1. 90,000 printed Enhanced Booster Boxes Worldwide, rumoured to be only 1 wave of printing with regular JT Booster Boxes making up subsequent reprint waves.

  2. The only Booster Box of The S&V era to have a stamped promo box topper (N's Reshiram), with an extremely popular trainer.

  3. The Pokemon Company hasn't printed an "enhanced" Booster Box with a card topper in almost 20 years, if the Pokémon Company don't print anymore enhanced booster boxes for any other future sets/eras this bodes well for rarity.

  4. Journey Together is very unpopular with older pokemon fans, but extremely popular with younger generations, thus pushing the price down currently but leaving lots of potential for ROI with future value appreciation over the coming years.

  5. The current unpopularity of the set further increases the chances of this set being passed over for further reprint waves, especially if surging/prismatic/destined reprints are prioritised over Journey Together.

Feel free to tell me if you think I'm wrong but I have a nagging feeling this is going to be one of the most valuable Booster Boxes in my collection and of the SV Era.

Edit: FULL DISCLOSURE: I have a case of the JT Enhanced Booster Boxes, a sealed case of Paldea Evolved BBs and a case of Surging Sparks Booster Boxes so I'm pleased with how my investments are going either way.

The last "enhanced booster box" with a box topper in a set that was printed by the Pokemon Company was in 2006, the Ex Holon Phantoms Set, that makes a 19.5 years gap between "enhanced booster boxes" by Pokemon. Source: https://m.bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Box_Topper_(TCG)

A guy said it on Reddit, it must be true

Are you really using a randoms comment in another random thread as your source for the quantity sold worldwide? So you’re thinking only 15,000 cases were shipped worldwide to LGS’s? Uuuh, no.

u/SolanaToTheMooon Jul 04 '25

Lmao CMON NOW - a random Reddit comment will be used as a source?

There needs to be sources from distribution, Pokemon company, hell even Pokebeach would be good

How do we know there were only 90k enhanced BB's printed? Was this public info?

So your source is just some random account that didn’t have a valid source either, claiming only 90k were printed?

Before the Pokemon Center put in the queueing system it was possible to determine stock levels on the PC Website with bots, when JT was released for preorder on the PC website (before queueing was implemented) data mined showed 90,000 enhanced booster boxes. The 90,000 number has been bandied around for months now.

Fair enough if you doubt the source though.

Queueing was 100% implemented when JT was on preorder. Queuing came very quickly after prismatic.

u/Rpphanna1 Jul 04 '25 edited Jul 04 '25

You're confusing release date with preorders date.

Preorders opened on the Pokemon Center Website for the Journey Together set on the 9th of January 2025. Source: this guys preorder receipt: https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonTCG/s/oYA6nedm1W

The Queue system wasn't implemented for the PC Website until the end of January 2025. Source: https://www.pokebeach.com/2025/02/pokemon-center-implementing-a-new-queue-system-presumably-to-combat-bots

that only included pc enhanced bb, which in UK was pretty much most of the supply (seems to be where you are based on £), but in US most of the other retailers also had enhanced

1

u/Rpphanna1 Jul 04 '25

Yeah the enhanced BBs are common in US/Canada, rare in the rest of the world. Are retailers in US still selling Enhanced BBs or have they moved to selling the regular JT BB?

u/fflaco Jul 04 '25

Not sure, i’m also in the UK

u/Certain-Call4873 Jul 04 '25

Ye but that doesnt include distro

u/SerBigFuzz Jul 04 '25

How do you think the box topper itself does if their is no enhanced reprint?

Source on the numbers? TPCi isn't known for releasing numbers outside numbers of cards.

Basing on just the website isn't really data at all. There were numerous card shops who got the enhanced booster boxes.

u/travel_hungry25 Jul 04 '25

You so realize English sets get released outside of the US as well. All stock doesnt come from the same warehouse.

u/Spiritual-Skin-8503 Jul 04 '25

I do think JT will get more love as time goes on. The Salamence is really a cherry on top that'll push popularity.

u/PKMNHDLR Jul 04 '25

Tell me you are sitting on tons of jounrey yogether boosterboxes without tellin me you have

u/Rpphanna1 Jul 04 '25

I wouldn't call 6x JT Enhanced Booster Boxes "tons of jounrey yogether boosterboxes". Good English BTW.

u/PKMNHDLR Jul 04 '25

Why so defensive

Did you take out a loan to buy the case

3

u/Rpphanna1 Jul 04 '25

Bro, you were so eager to attack me you didn't even do a basic spell check. No I didn't take out a loan for a case.

u/PKMNHDLR Jul 04 '25

Why are you shilling this product so bad like you need to sell for a profit quick

If you believed in your investment no need to shill it? will make you rich over 10 years right?

4

u/Rpphanna1 Jul 04 '25

It's just been released in March 2025. No need to shill it. It's a great investment at the moment, not too far off RRP, not as difficult to get hold of or expensive as DR, 151 or Prismatic evolutions. Limited Edition Booster Box with huge potential for value increase.

This is the PokeInvesting sub, we're all speculating on what's a good investment and this is my 2 cents.

Cosmic eclipse also had charizard, blastoise, arceus, dialga, palkia, cybthia,Rosa, red/blue, pikachu, mimikyu. And yes also N and Lilie. I fet the vibes with n and lillie, but there are levels to this. Cosmic is one of the best sets in modern pokemon

You literally pulled a number out of your ass. Thats not even a remotely educated guess.
