Giratina VSTAR GG69 leads Crown Zenith at $273.51 on Cardboard Alpha's October 19, 2026 evaluated prices, and the 70-card Galarian Gallery holds 89.8 percent of a $2,361.44 one-of-each run.
Giratina VSTAR GG69, one of four gold VSTARs in the Galarian Gallery, is the most valuable Crown Zenith card. Cardboard Alpha's evaluated price for a raw Near Mint copy was $273.51 on October 19, 2026, ahead of Mewtwo VSTAR GG44 at $245.27 and Arceus VSTAR GG70 at $167.81. Giratina's figure rests on a single sale recorded that day.
Most of Crown Zenith's value sits in the Galarian Gallery, not the main set. One raw Near Mint copy of all 230 cards, 160 in the main set and 70 in the Gallery, cost $2,361.44 that day, and the Gallery held $2,120.31 of it, or 89.8 percent. Pikachu 160/159, the main set's most valuable card at $39.24, ranked 16th overall.
Crown Zenith went on sale worldwide on January 20, 2023, per The Pokémon Company International, with a Galarian Gallery subset of 70 cards in special illustrations: Pokémon, Pokémon V, VMAX, VSTAR and Supporter cards. TCGplayer says the Gallery works like the Trainer Galleries of 2022's main sets, only 40 cards bigger.
The main set has 160 cards, 159 numbered plus the secret Pikachu 160/159, per TCGdex and TCGplayer, so the main set and Gallery make 230. TCGplayer's Authentication Center opened more than 1,900 packs before launch and estimated these pull rates:
Galarian Gallery: about 1 in 3 packs (35.2 percent), in the reverse-holo slot.
Ultra Rare: about 1 in 5 packs, covering V, VMAX and VSTAR cards, full-art Trainers and textured Energy.
Radiant Rare: about 1 in 22 packs, shared by Radiant Charizard, Radiant Eternatus and Radiant Charjabug.
Secret Rare: Pikachu 160/159 alone, about 1 in 133 packs.
In the catalog the Gallery runs GG01 to GG34 for non-V Pokémon, GG35 to GG66 for V, VMAX, VSTAR and Supporter cards, and GG67 to GG70 for the four gold VSTARs.
The Pokémon Company's release-day announcement lists nine Crown Zenith products and no booster box: a 10-pack Elite Trainer Box, a 12-pack Pokémon Center version, collections, tins and an 11-pack Premium Figure Collection. See Elite Trainer Box versus booster box expected value for the comparison.
The top 15 cards, priced
Every figure is Cardboard Alpha's evaluated price for a raw Near Mint copy of each card's main printing on October 19, 2026. Print types follow card names and TCGplayer's groups.
All 15 are Gallery cards: ten VSTARs, three Vs, one VMAX and Mew, the only non-V Pokémon. Pikachu 160/159, the first main-set card, ranks 16th, $1.02 behind Raikou V.
An evaluated price is one number per card per day, not one marketplace's displayed price, so it can differ from what a single venue shows. Twelve of the 15 figures include a sale recorded that day, though Giratina, Dialga and Palkia VSTAR each rest on a single sale. Arceus, Leafeon and Glaceon VSTAR rest on asking prices anchored to a prior evaluation.
Across all 230 main prints, 55 include a sale from that day, 46 rest on asking prices and 129 rest on a quoted marketplace guide rather than a sale. The 55 carry 75.0 percent of the dollar total, and the 129 are all main-set cards at $2.52 or less.
The Galarian Gallery's weight
The 70 Gallery cards hold $2,120.31 of the $2,361.44, against $241.13 for the 160 main-set cards. The cheapest Gallery card priced at $2.99, and 40 of the 70 priced at $10.00 or more. The main set's median was $0.22, with 122 cards under $1.00 and six at $10.00 or more.
TCGplayer found a Gallery card in more than 35 percent of Crown Zenith packs, against less than 13 percent for Silver Tempest, Lost Origin and Astral Radiance. Measured the same way, the 30-card Trainer Galleries of four 2022 sets held far less of their sets' value:

Cardboard Alpha evaluated prices, raw Near Mint, one main print per card, October 19, 2026. Crown Zenith's Gallery has 70 cards; the others have 30.
The Galarian Gallery alone cost more than Lost Origin and its Trainer Gallery together.
Published pull odds do not separate prices inside the Gallery. TCGplayer gives one figure for the whole group, about 1 in 167 packs for any specific non-V Gallery Pokémon, yet Mew GG10 at $64.12 costs 21 times Comfey GG14 at $2.99.
Gallery non-V. Evaluated price, raw NM, $64.12 on October 19, 2026, the top non-V Gallery card.
The gold VSTARs
The four gold VSTARs, GG67 to GG70, hold $666.89 between them, 28.2 percent of the one-of-each cost. TCGplayer estimated any gold VSTAR at about 1 in 125 packs and a specific one at about 1 in 600, and notes that collecting all four lets their artwork fit together.
AKIRA EGAWA illustrated all four, per the catalog. One odds figure covers them, yet their prices span 2.7 times: Giratina VSTAR at $273.51, Arceus VSTAR at $167.81, Origin Forme Dialga VSTAR at $124.99 and Origin Forme Palkia VSTAR at $100.58. Giratina, Dialga and Palkia each rest on a single sale that day, and Arceus on asking prices.

Mewtwo VSTAR, the non-gold outlier
GOSSAN's Mewtwo VSTAR is the Gallery's one non-gold card above $200, at $245.27, ahead of three of the four gold VSTARs. TCGplayer puts a specific Gallery V, VMAX, VSTAR or Trainer card at about 1 in 291 packs, roughly twice as common as a specific gold VSTAR. See Mewtwo's most valuable cards from every era.

Gallery prints vs. main-set prints
Eight Pokémon appear as the same V, VMAX or VSTAR card in both halves of the set, and the Gallery print cost more in every pair. Hatterene VMAX was the narrowest gap at 4.5 times ($7.69 against $1.71), Leafeon VSTAR sat at 21.3 times ($84.72 against $3.98) and Zacian V was the widest at 32.7 times ($28.16 against $0.86).
For the six VMAX and VSTAR pairs, TCGplayer's odds are near-identical, about 1 in 273 for a main-set card and 1 in 291 for a Gallery card, so published pull rarity cannot account for gaps of 4.5 to 21.3 times. None of the eight main-set prices includes a recorded sale, so the multiples are approximate.
Gallery VSTAR. Evaluated price, raw NM, $84.72 on October 19, 2026; the main-set VSTAR is $3.98.
The main set's chase
Pikachu 160/159 leads the main set at $39.24, priced from seven same-day sales, and TCGplayer puts it at about 1 in 133 packs. Pikachu GG30, a Gallery non-V at about 1 in 167 packs, sat 85 cents lower at $38.39.
Secret Rare. Evaluated price, raw NM, $39.24 on October 19, 2026, the top main-set card.
Elesa's Sparkle 147, a full-art Trainer, is second at $14.86. Radiant Charizard 020 and Rayquaza VMAX 101 tie at $11.72, with Charizard VSTAR 019 two cents behind.
TCGplayer puts a specific Radiant Rare at about 1 in 69 packs. Radiant Charizard's $11.72 rests on 12 same-day sales, while Radiant Charjabug ($0.66) and Radiant Eternatus ($0.62) priced about 18 to 19 times lower on a quoted guide.
Radiant Rare. Evaluated price, raw NM, $11.72 on October 19, 2026.

Yes, by a wide margin. The 70 Gallery cards held 89.8 percent of the one-of-each cost on October 19, 2026, and their median price of $12.31 compares with $0.22 for the 160 main-set cards. The 30-card Trainer Galleries of four 2022 sets held between 27.8 and 45.9 percent of their sets' value.
How hard is it to pull a gold VSTAR in Crown Zenith?
TCGplayer's Authentication Center opened more than 1,900 packs before the January 20, 2023 release and estimated any gold VSTAR at about 1 in 125 packs, or 0.8 percent. A specific one, such as Giratina VSTAR, was put at about 1 in 600. These are estimates from a sample, not print-run data.
How much is Radiant Charizard from Crown Zenith worth?
Radiant Charizard 020 had an evaluated raw Near Mint price of $11.72 on October 19, 2026, based on 12 same-day sales.

Is there a Crown Zenith booster box?
No booster box appears among the products The Pokémon Company announced at launch. Its January 20, 2023 release-day announcement lists nine Crown Zenith products, among them a 10-pack Elite Trainer Box, a 12-pack Pokémon Center Elite Trainer Box Plus and an 11-pack Premium Figure Collection, and none is a booster box. Cardboard Alpha's catalog lists no Crown Zenith booster box among its English sealed products either.

Bulk Pokemon Cards Worth Money: What to Look For
Of 19,575 priced commons and uncommons, 30.2 percent were at $1 or more on October 12, 2026, and 73 percent of those came from sets printed from 1999 to early 2011. This guide sorts bulk by era, finish and print run, then shows what TCGplayer's fees take from a one-dollar card.
