The vendor's catalog photograph of Shiny Star V Booster Box. It identifies the product; it is not evidence of condition, of what is inside, or of any price on this page.Product type, set and release date, contents, chase cards, price history and how it compares with the Sword & Shield era.
S4a: Shiny Star V is a Japanese Pokémon TCG set from the Sword & Shield era, released on November 20, 2020, and it counts only two sealed products, this Booster box and a Booster pack. The Shiny Star V Booster Box is a sealed case of packs meant for opening, which makes it the product to look at when the aim is pulling cards from the set rather than building a deck. The set is an expansion, and its sealed lineup is small enough that the box is the main way to buy into it at scale.
The Japanese Shiny Star V Booster Box holds 10 booster packs, and each pack carries 10 random cards.
The Shiny Star V Booster Box packs come from the set, so its chase cards can all turn up when the packs are opened. Charizard VMAX and Charizard V, both Shiny Secret Rares, rank first and second by value, followed by the Super Rares Marnie and Skyla, with Gengar fifth. The set lists 167 chase-tier cards across 330 catalog printings, and the top five cards account for 42 percent of the set's total card value, a notable concentration at the head of the list. Among the 30 sets in the Sword & Shield era, it ranks 5th by value.
Tracking of the Shiny Star V Booster Box began in September 2026, so the record is short, and the only change worth reading is the past 30 days, in which the price is up 1 percent. The figure rests on a modelled market guide, which is how the price is set on days without a recorded sale. As of October 23, 2026, a month of history cannot show a trend, only that the price has been steady since tracking began.
Written from market data as of October 24, 2026; the tables update live.
Among the 25 booster boxes from the Sword & Shield era, the Shiny Star V Booster Box ranks 17th by price and sits about equal to the era median. The previous set's equivalent, the Amazing Volt Tackle Booster Box, is priced higher, and so is the next one, the Single Strike Master Booster Box, so this box sits below both of its neighbours in the sequence. Within its own set's line it ranks 1st by price among the 2 priced products, ahead of the Booster pack.

The dearest of the 2 priced sealed products in S4a: Shiny Star V.
Withheld — 6 of the 9 inputs have no sealed evidence, so there is nothing honest to blend.
On file: 27 asks · 7 sales · 52 daily guide points · 86 stock readings.
| EvidenceEvidenceWhat kind of fact this row is. A completed sale, a live ask and a calculated guide price are three different weights of evidence about the same number, and this column is the difference between them. | ObservedObservedThe day the fact was read — not the day the underlying event happened, and not today. An old date is an old reading. | AgeAgeHow long ago this row was read, as of the moment the page was computed. | ConfidenceConfidenceHow much weight this row carries where it feeds a model, from the resolver that matched it. Lower means a looser match or a thinner source, and a low-confidence row is reweighted rather than dropped. | ModelledModelledYes = a CALCULATED value (a guide price, an estimate); No = something actually observed (a sale, a listing, a census count). A modelled row is evidence about a model, not about the market. |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Live askA copy offered for sale right now. An ask is what a seller wants, not what anyone paid — it bounds the price from above until it clears. | Oct 30, 2026 | 14h | 90% | No |
| Price statisticAn observed figure computed over several rows rather than one print — a delivered floor, a published median over a window. | Oct 30, 2026 | 14h | 90% | No |
| Guide priceA calculated market guide — a model of where the product is trading. Never a confirmed sale, and always marked Modelled. | Oct 30, 2026 | 1d | 90% | Yes |
| Confirmed saleA completed transaction at a known price — the strongest evidence on this page. Prices are delivered (item + required shipping). | Oct 27, 2026 | 4d | 85% | No |
Every price is that product’s newest stored daily bar, picked by the same precedence the chart above uses — a real observed sale beats a modelled guide, and the guide stands in only on days with no sale. Per-pack divides by the PUBLISHED pack count and is withheld wherever that count is not on file, because a guessed denominator makes a fabricated price. Products the set has but we cannot price keep their row, with a dash.
6 inputs have no sealed evidence and were reweighted away: supply tightness, absorption, auction demand, grading reflexivity, relative strength, reprint / supply risk.

A wholesale ask is a distributor’s price for a whole lot — freight, minimums and any trade terms sit behind it — and is not a price a single box trades at. Links go to the distributor’s own page; nothing here is an affiliate link. Per-pack figures divide the lot price by the pack count the distributor published, never by a guessed one.
No wholesale listing has ever been matched to this set.
No distributor we read lists S4a: Shiny Star V in bulk. That says nothing about the print run — only about these shelves.
A distributor’s public catalogue is a proxy for supply, not the print run.
