Right now: the best rip in Release Special Booster 2.5 is the Booster Box (24 packs) at $219.74 against $225.37 of expected pulls — a −13% margin after ~15% selling fees, and a 42% chance it actually pays for itself. Figures refresh every two hours.
Release Special Booster 2.5 arrived February 28, 2025, another combined English release for the Digimon Card Game, merging two Japanese boosters into one oversized list. Packs hold twelve cards and boxes hold 24 packs. This one carries a premium: sealed has recently modeled slightly underwater, and TCGPlayer hasn't listed every SKU yet, so the loose-pack price is currently derived from the box.
Every pack gets a Rare plus a hit slot: Super Rare about 70%, Secret Rare about 1 in 5, and a Special Rare slice near 1 in 10. The Secret Rare pool is where the money is, and it is top-heavy: the Rare Pull WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon dwarf everything, with the textured Omnimon (X Antibody) and Zephagamon ACE behind them. Alphamon: Ouryuken ACE tops the Super Rares.
Products are the loose pack and the 24-pack booster box, nothing else. Two caveats for the table: the Rare Pull cards are listed as Secret Rares, so they lift that pool's average without promising you one, and the rates are community estimates. When the missing SKUs get market prices, the refresh swaps them in. The live numbers below carry the current verdict.

FAQ
How many packs are in a Release Special Booster 2.5 box?
24 packs of 12 cards. With a Secret Rare about 1 in 5 packs by community estimates, a box should average around five, though which five is the whole game: the pool runs from bulk-adjacent to the Rare Pull WarGreymon.
What are the chase cards in Release Special Booster 2.5?
The Rare Pull WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon Secret Rares are the headline, priced in a different universe from the rest. Below them sit the textured Alphamon: Ouryuken ACE and Imperialdramon: Fighter Mode Super Rares, and the textured Omnimon (X Antibody) and Zephagamon ACE Secret Rares.
Why is the Release Special Booster 2.5 pack price estimated?
TCGPlayer hasn't listed a market price for every SKU yet, so the loose-pack figure is derived from the 24-pack booster box. The two-hourly refresh swaps in real market prices as they appear, so the pack row can move independently of the box row.
What are the odds a Booster Box (24 packs) of Release Special Booster 2.5 pays for itself?
About 42% after ~15% selling fees (44% before fees) as of 2026-10-27, computed from the exact outcome distribution of the Release Special Booster 2.5 pack model rather than a simulation. The median Booster Box (24 packs) returns $171.75 of cards after fees against its $219.74 price, and the chance of at least doubling your money is 1%. These odds refresh with every two-hourly price update.
