What's inside Pokemon Base Set (Shadowless) [1st Edition] Booster Box

The Base Set Shadowless 1st Edition booster box holds 36 booster packs, and each pack contains 11 randomly inserted game cards. Cards vary from pack to pack.

Base Set chase cards

Base Set is opened for its big Rare Pokémon, and the 1st Edition booster box packs can yield all of them. Charizard ranks first by value, followed by Blastoise, Venusaur, Mewtwo and Alakazam, each a Rare. The set has 102 official cards and 16 chase-tier cards, with no secret cards beyond the official count. Value is heavily concentrated: the top five cards account for 67 percent of the set's total card value, which is why Charizard in particular defines what a Base Set chase card is worth.

Method

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.

Provenance

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.
Inventory countHow many copies and listings stand on the book. What depth, supply and absorption are measured against.	Oct 21, 2026	3d	70%	No
