30th Celebration is a Pokémon set released 2026/09/16. This page tracks whether its sealed products are worth opening: live TCGPlayer market prices for every product, the expected value of the cards inside, and the pull-rate model behind the math.
30th-anniversary set (releases 2026-09-16 — prices are presales). 6-card all-foil packs: a holo Pikachu from a 30-artist subset in every pack, plus a Classic Collection reprint chase subset spanning the TCG's history. Pull rates are provisional pre-release estimates from early leaks and the Celebrations-2021 precedent. ETB and Booster Bundle pack counts are assumed (9 / 6) pending official contents. The separate Classic Collection Pack and premium SKUs (Ultra-Premium, tins, Pokémon Center ETB) have different contents and aren't modeled.
