Release date, card count, chase cards and how it compares with the EX era.
POP Series 8 sits in the EX era as part of the POP promotional line, a promo collection released on September 1, 2008 under the set code P8. It is a compact run of 17 cards, matching the official count and the full catalog of printings. The set has no secret cards above the printed number. What defines it is a mix of Diamond & Pearl-generation Pokémon and a few Trainer cards, led in value by Lucario and Luxray, with its Pokémon drawn from Grass, Fighting, Fire and Lightning types.
The POP Series 8 card list tops out at Rare, so the ladder is short: six Commons, six Uncommons and five Rares, with no separate chase tier and nothing numbered past the printed 17. Lucario leads the most valuable cards, illustrated by Kent Kanetsuna, followed by Luxray by Ken Sugimori, then Piplup by Atsuko Nishida and Happiny by Yuka Morii. Value is concentrated: the top five cards hold 60 percent of the set's total card value. Notably, Piplup and Happiny are Commons, so rarity does not map neatly onto what collectors chase here.

Completing POP Series 8 means finding 17 printings, and all 17 are priced. Because the top five cards carry 60 percent of the set's total card value, the cost of a complete set is driven mostly by Lucario and Luxray, while the remaining cards in the run sit well below them. The set also has a single sealed product listed, an other sealed item, which is worth a look alongside the singles.
