This box trades at $498 — right at its 1-year high. Price has been broadly stable across the last quarter. That puts it in the upper part of its tracked range. It typically swings about ±0.9% in a month — calm by Pokemon box standards, so moves that size are worth noticing.
eBay supply is growing: active listings are up 9% over the last 60 days — more sellers than buyers for now. The set's cards are worth about $2,087 — 4.2× the box price, vs a typical 2.9× for Pokemon. That rich multiple adds +1 to the score. Across Pokemon boxes the median 30-day move is -4.7% (14% of boxes up), and this one is running 4.3 points ahead of that pace. Beating its own market adds +1 — the move is this box's, not the tide's.
No supply contraction and no price momentum — nothing actionable right now. Two ways it earns a Buy rating: a 60-day supply drop past 10% while the price holds, or a value setup — a price near the bottom of its range that stabilizes while the set's card value stays rich vs the box.
