How we rank them
Chase here means what sells highest: the 15 highest raw medians among cards pulled from ordinary 30th Celebration packs, Classic Collection included. Each price is the median of real completed sales of the English print, which beats list prices and pre-launch estimates, over the shortest window with enough sales. As of November 2, 2026, five cards sell for $100 or more, and Jirachi ex sits just below the cut at $38.68 (154 sales). The rest of the set is on the 30th Celebration set page.
The three Mews do not share a window: with 3 sales in its latest 7-day window, Mew R/RGB is priced over 30 days. Compared over the same windows, red leads blue and blue leads green each time:
| Card | Last 7 days | Last 30 days | Last 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mew R/RGB | $3,917 (3 sales) | $4,291 (64 sales) | $4,142 (113 sales) |
| Mew B/RGB | $3,793 (5 sales) | $3,981 (54 sales) | $3,899 (113 sales) |
| Mew G/RGB | $3,044 (6 sales) | $3,483 (59 sales) | $3,483 (91 sales) |

Pull odds: what is known and what is not
A pack holds five foil cards, including one of 30 Pikachu Rares, plus a foil basic Energy and a code card (what comes in a pack). These odds come from counts of opened packs, not from the publisher:
| Tier | Cards | Any card of the tier | One given card |
|---|---|---|---|
| Classic Collection | 30 | 1 pack in 10 | About 1 in 300 |
| Special Illustration Rare | 10 | 1 pack in 21 | About 1 in 210 |
| Futuristic Rare | 2 | 1 pack in 120 | About 1 in 240 |
| RGB Mew | 3 | No reliable rate | No reliable rate |
3,000 English packs counted by a large retailer, reported September 23, 2026. Counts of 4,063 and 6,500 packs reported in September 2026 give about 1 in 10 for the Classic Collection, 1 in 18 to 20 for Special Illustration Rares and 1 in 99 to 117 for Futuristic Rares. One given card assumes equal odds inside the tier, which no count has proven.
The 3,000-pack count was too small to measure the RGB Mews. The 4,063-pack count found one, and its 95% statistical range runs from 1 pack in 718 to 1 in 23,016 for any of the three. A report on 6,500 packs puts it near 1 in 3,200, and the 1 in 20,000 figure in circulation rests on no published count.
How prices moved since release
| Card | Week of Sept. 14 | Week of Oct. 5 | Week of Oct. 26 | Change |

| Sylveon ex 153/128 | $77.47 (413) | $44.94 (258) | $39.92 (136) | -48% |
| Mewtwo ex 157/128 | $102 (291) | $49.49 (314) | $39.86 (134) | -61% |
Weekly raw medians of real completed sales, with the number of sales in parentheses, converted at 1 EUR = 1.1172 USD (November 2, 2026). Change: between the week of September 14 (the set came out on September 16, 2026) and the week of October 26, which ended on November 1.
The eight modern ex cards lost 48% to 67%, and the two Futuristic Rares fell most. The four reprints lost 3% to 27%; since release, Lugia's weekly median peaked at $304 (470 sales) in the week of September 28. The RGB Mews moved +3%, -2% and -18%, on 3 to 5 sales in the week of October 26, too few to call a trend.
Week by week, the median of the cards in the table fell to 52% of its level in the week of September 14 by the week of October 26, 2026; the chart follows the five most expensive one by one. For how 30th Celebration compares with the other 2026 sets, see our study of Pokémon card prices after release.
The falls have slowed: the eight ex cards lost 5% to 16% from the week of October 12 to the week of October 26. More product is due, with the Ultra-Premium, Figure and Ditto Premium Collections on November 6, 2026 and a Binder Collection on December 4, so further falls would not surprise us. Our article on why Pokémon cards cost so much covers this pattern in new sets.
What a PSA 10 sells for
The PSA 10 figures in the notes above come from reading the sales one by one: slabs only, never an ungraded copy listed as a PSA 10 contender, which is what most sales mentioning a PSA 10 on these cards turn out to be. Slabs sold on an accepted offer are left out, because the listing does not show the price paid. Over the 30 days to November 2, 2026, a PSA 10 sold for about 1.9 times raw on Mew R/RGB ($8,030 against $4,291, 3 slabs), 4.1 times on Lugia ($923 against $225, 4 slabs at auction) and 8.4 times on Mew ex 158/128 ($478 against $56.95, 4 slabs at auction). So few have sold that these are early prices.
Open packs or buy singles?
For one given card, buy the single. As of November 2, 2026, a pack costs about $10.82 in a Booster Bundle ($64.91 for 6 packs, 59 sales), $12.12 loose (5 sales) and $13.10 in an Elite Trainer Box ($118 for 9 packs, 131 sales); the English product list has no booster box. At the Bundle price, the average 210 packs for one given Special Illustration Rare cost about $2,272, against $85.32 for Mew ex, and the average 300 for one given reprint about $3,246, against $207 for Lugia.
For the fun of opening, the math is close. At those odds, an average pack holds about $8.93 of cards at their medians, before any RGB Mew:
| Tier | Odds per pack | Average raw median | Value per pack |
|---|---|---|---|
| Classic Collection | 1 in 10 | $29.30 | $2.93 |
| Pikachu Rare | Every pack | $2.11 | $2.11 |
| Special Illustration Rare | 1 in 21 | $43.05 | $2.05 |
| Illustration Rare | 1 in 5 | $4.67 | $0.93 |
| Double Rare | 1 in 4 | $2.15 | $0.54 |
| Futuristic Rare | 1 in 120 | $43.88 | $0.37 |
| Total | $8.93 |
As of November 2, 2026. Double Rare rate from the 4,063-pack count, the others from the 3,000-pack count. Commons, ordinary Rares, selling fees and shipping left out; fees and shipping eat most of a $2 card.
The RGB Mews would add $0.16 to $5.17 a pack across the range of rates above, so a pack's value cannot be pinned down. At the $4.49 list price of a pack in a Booster Bundle, sold out at Pokémon Center on September 24, 2026, the same pack holds about twice its cost. Our best packs for rare cards ranking counts only cards at $100 or more, at September 24 prices, so its returns do not compare with this table.
The Ultra-Premium Collections
The Day and Night Ultra-Premium Collections, out November 6, 2026 ($179.99 suggested retail), each hold 29 ordinary packs and one Classic Collection booster pack with three cards from the Classic Collection. If the 30 reprints are equally common, that pack gives about a 1 in 10 chance of one given reprint, such as Lugia, against about 1 in 300 for an ordinary pack. At the medians of November 2, 2026, three average reprints come to about $88, but the median reprint sells for $12.94 and four cards hold 61% of the Classic Collection's combined value.
FAQ
What is the rarest card in 30th Celebration?
The three RGB Mews appear to be the rarest: no count has measured them reliably, and one reported in September 2026 found one in 4,063 packs. Among measured rates, the Futuristic Rares are the scarcest tier, at 1 pack in 120.
What is the most expensive 30th Celebration card?
Mew R/RGB, at $4,291 raw (64 sales over 30 days) as of November 2, 2026. Outside the RGB Mews, it is the Classic Collection Lugia, at $207 (92 sales). For all sets, see the most expensive Pokémon cards.
What are the pull rates in 30th Celebration?
On a count of 3,000 English packs reported September 23, 2026: an Illustration Rare in 1 pack in 5, a Classic Collection card in 1 in 10, a Special Illustration Rare in 1 in 21 and a Futuristic Rare in 1 in 120. The RGB Mews have no reliable rate.
Is the Classic Collection worth it?
Rarely for resale: as of November 2, 2026, 2 of the 30 reprints sell for $100 or more and 22 for under $20. Lugia and Charizard have held up better than the modern ex cards since release, though: -10% and -3%, against -48% to -67%, on the weekly medians above.
What are RGB cards?
Three Mew cards numbered R/RGB, G/RGB and B/RGB, drawn by YOSHIROTTEN, with the same art and attack in three color schemes. Openers have pulled them on camera from ordinary packs, but as of November 2, 2026 the official card database does not list them, and RGB Rare is the name collectors use. Our rarity guide covers the set's other new marks.
