The vendor's catalog photograph of Base Set 2 Theme Deck - "Hot Water". 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, chase cards, price history and how it compares with the WOTC era.
Market data on the Base Set 2 Theme Deck "Hot Water" only began in September 2026, so its price history is still very short. This is a sealed deck from Base Set 2, an English-language Pokémon TCG expansion from the WOTC era released on February 24, 2000. A theme deck is a ready-to-play deck built around a single energy type, made for learning the game or playing straight out of the box rather than for opening packs. Base Set 2 has six sealed products in total, spread across decks, booster boxes and booster packs.
Written from market data as of October 24, 2026; the tables update live.
Among the 13 decks priced from the WOTC era, the Base Set 2 Theme Deck "Hot Water" ranks 12th by price, at about 0.7 times the era median for decks. Within its own set's line it is 4th by price of 4 priced products, and the Base Set 2 Booster Pack is the highest-priced of them. That placement fits a deck that sits at the lower end of both its era and its set.

The cheapest of the 4 priced sealed products in Base Set 2.
Withheld — 7 of the 9 inputs have no sealed evidence, so there is nothing honest to blend.
7 inputs have no sealed evidence and were reweighted away: price trend, supply tightness, absorption, auction demand, liquidity, grading reflexivity, reprint / supply risk.

| 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. | Nov 5, 2026 | 3d | 90% | No |
| Price statisticAn observed figure computed over several rows rather than one print — a delivered floor, a published median over a window. | Nov 7, 2026 | 1d | 90% | No |
| Guide priceA calculated market guide — a model of where the product is trading. Never a confirmed sale, and always marked Modelled. | Oct 10, 2026 | 29d | 90% | Yes |
| Inventory countHow many copies and listings stand on the book. What depth, supply and absorption are measured against. | Nov 5, 2026 | 3d | 70% | 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.

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 Base Set 2 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.
