This box trades at $171, 25% below its 1-year high of $229. It's been sliding: down 22.2% over 90 days and still soft. That leaves it near the bottom of its tracked range. It typically swings about ±10.8% in a month — jumpy for a Pokemon box, so single-digit dips here are mostly noise. Worst tracked stretch: a 26% drawdown from peak; it sits 25% below that peak now.
eBay supply is growing: active listings are up 16% over the last 60 days — more sellers than buyers for now. The set's cards are worth about $818 — 4.8× 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 2.8 points ahead of that pace.
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.
