30th Celebration Release-Day Market Report: September 2026

30th Celebration Release-Day Market Report: September 2026

30th CELEBRATION (M6a) released worldwide on Wednesday, September 16, 2026. On release day SNKRDUNK carried live seller listings for the set’s chase cards, including first listings for five secret rares that had none in the September 10 fetch. This report is a dated snapshot of where those asking prices landed on release day, set against the sealed-product trend from September 1 and September 10, and against the pre-release forecasts that were published before the official release.

Follow-up added September 20, 2026: the new tables use the separately recorded September 18, 2026 SNKRDUNK snapshot. They do not replace the original September 16 market history or claim to be live September 20 prices.

Every SNKRDUNK figure below is a lowest asking price — a seller’s listing price, not a completed sale — and every figure carries its own date; MSRP, pre-release forecasts and our own store listings are labelled separately below. We ship Japanese sealed product and singles out of Tokyo.

Key Takeaways

The M6a sealed-box asking price fell from ¥47,200 (September 1) to ¥28,200 (September 10) and ¥17,500 on release day, September 16, 2026. The original release-day tables remain below. A separately labelled September 18 follow-up records ¥20,994 for that same sealed-box listing and shows that individual cards moved in different directions. These are seller asks, not completed sales. Check the current M6a product page for our store offer.

Sealed Product: Sept 1 → Sept 10 → Sept 16

Every sealed 30th CELEBRATION product kept falling into release rather than spiking:

Product MSRP Sept 1 ask Sept 10 ask Sept 16 ask
M6a Booster Box (shrink) ¥7,200 ¥47,200 ¥28,200 ¥17,500
M6a Booster Box (no shrink) ¥7,200 — ¥25,800 ¥13,290
FUTURISTIC BOX ¥27,500 ¥115,000 ¥95,998 ¥49,500
Premium Deck Set Espeon & Umbreon ¥6,200 ¥64,990 ¥30,100 ¥17,800
M6 Storm Emeralda Box (shrink, comparison) ¥6,000 — ≈¥12,000 ¥10,250

On SNKRDUNK the lowest asking price for a sealed M6a box went from ¥47,200 on September 1 to ¥28,200 on September 10 and ¥17,500 on release day, September 16, 2026 — still about 2.4x the ¥7,200 MSRP. The FUTURISTIC BOX followed the same pattern (¥115,000 → ¥95,998 → ¥49,500, MSRP ¥27,500, ≈1.8x), as did the Premium Deck Set (¥64,990 → ¥30,100 → ¥17,800, MSRP ¥6,200, ≈2.9x). As release-day listings multiplied, the lowest ask fell on all three products. The EN Elite Trainer Box had no live SNKRDUNK listing on September 16, 2026; the last figure available is a US $261 ask dated September 10, 2026.

September 18 follow-up: the first two days after release

The September 18 search capture checked the same four sealed-product entries. The links identify the marketplace product; the figures are the dated observations recorded that day, not whatever price those pages show now.

Product / marketplace listing Sept 16 ask Sept 18 ask Change in the observed ask
M6a Booster Box (shrink) ¥17,500 ¥20,994 +20.0%
M6a Booster Box (no shrink) ¥13,290 ¥16,900 +27.2%
FUTURISTIC BOX ¥49,500 ¥53,890 +8.9%
Premium Deck Set Espeon & Umbreon ¥17,800 ¥17,500 -1.7%

The sealed Booster Box ask was about 20% above its release-day observation, while the Premium Deck Set was slightly lower. This is a comparison of two asking-price snapshots, not a sales index: it does not show how many buyers transacted, whether the lowest-listed item sold, or what the next listing will cost. Choose a product for its contents first, then compare the condition, language and actual offer you can buy.

Singles: Release-Day Asks

Release-day lowest asks on SNKRDUNK, September 16, 2026:

Card Lowest ask Listings Note
Mew ex FUR [135/103] ¥22,222 46
Mewtwo ex FUR [134/103] ¥17,999 68
Pikachu ex SAR, night [127/103] ¥13,000 50
Pikachu ex SAR, day [126/103] ¥11,000 43
Mew ex SAR [129/103] ¥9,300 49 First listing — card shown that day
Charizard, Classic Collection [137/103] ¥11,500 37
Mewtwo ex SAR [128/103] ¥5,987 57 First listing — card shown that day
Sylveon ex SAR [130/103] ¥5,500 33
Gengar ex SAR [131/103] ¥5,400 53 First listing — card shown that day
Pikachu ex Promo 131/M-P (FUTURISTIC BOX) ¥24,900 39
Pikachu ex Promo 132/M-P (FUTURISTIC BOX) ¥24,900 38
Umbreon ex, full art [MF 044/040] ¥13,000 10 Premium Deck Set card
Espeon ex, full art [MF 043/040] ¥5,600 12 Premium Deck Set card
Kommo-o AR [119/103] ¥1,000 6 First listing — card shown that day
Ditto AR [121/103] ¥1,000 10 First listing — card shown that day
Pikachu, main set [017/103, Ken Sugimori] ¥1,000 15

The five cards marked “first listing” were first recorded in the snapshots reviewed for this report on September 16: Kommo-o AR, Ditto AR, Mewtwo ex SAR, Mew ex SAR and Gengar ex SAR. That label describes our dated checks, not proof that no seller anywhere had offered them earlier. The release-day report recorded all 32 secret rares as seen, while the AR/SAR/FUR block was not yet in the official card database at that check.

September 18 follow-up: ten numbered cards

Card / marketplace listing Sept 16 ask Sept 18 ask
Mew ex FUR 135/103 ¥22,222 ¥14,000
Mewtwo ex FUR 134/103 ¥17,999 ¥10,499
Pikachu ex SAR 127/103 (night) ¥13,000 ¥13,400
Pikachu ex SAR 126/103 (day) ¥11,000 ¥9,500
Mew ex SAR 129/103 ¥9,300 ¥8,698
Mewtwo ex SAR 128/103 ¥5,987 ¥4,887
Sylveon ex SAR 130/103 ¥5,500 ¥4,999
Gengar ex SAR 131/103 ¥5,400 ¥7,000
Charizard 137/103 ¥11,500 ¥22,222
Pikachu 017/103 (Ken Sugimori) ¥1,000 ¥1,000

Among these ten exact prints, six asks decreased, three increased and one stayed unchanged. Charizard 137/103 moved from ¥11,500 to ¥22,222, while Mew ex FUR moved from ¥22,222 to ¥14,000. Neither observation is a completed sale or a reason to apply the same change to every card in the set. Keep the card number and language fixed when comparing listings; a graded copy, promo, or different print is a separate comparison.

The later search also recorded Victini MF 041/040 at ¥1,300 and Zeraora MF 042/040 at ¥1,000, with one listing seen for each in the September 18 capture. The earlier lack of a figure for those cards meant only that the September 16 dataset had none. Kommo-o AR 119/103 and Ditto AR 121/103 were not rechecked on September 18, so their ¥1,000 figures above remain September 16 history.

RGB Mew: The Unnumbered Secret Rares

Three secret Mew cards — R/RGB, G/RGB and B/RGB, illustrated by YOSHIROTTEN — were pulled from early-opened 30th Celebration products and surfaced in a Pokemon TCG Live update on September 15, per PokeBeach (report of September 12, updated September 15, 2026). They sit outside the /103 numbering and outside every official list, and their pull rate is unknown. Our full RGB Mew guide covers the background; the release-day asks below are the first dated market figures for these cards.

Card Lowest ask (Sept 16, 2026) Listings
Mew R/RGB (secret, unnumbered) ¥868,000 9
Mew G/RGB (secret, unnumbered) ¥580,000 7
Mew B/RGB (secret, unnumbered) ¥600,000 4

These three had the highest asks among the singles captured in the original September 16 report. They were asking prices on a small number of listings, not confirmed sales. The later table below is a separate observation; it does not establish a pull rate or future value.

September 18 follow-up: the RGB trio

Japanese print / marketplace listing Sept 16 ask Sept 18 ask
Mew R/RGB ¥868,000 ¥620,000
Mew G/RGB ¥580,000 ¥369,999
Mew B/RGB ¥600,000 ¥420,000

All three later asks were lower than their September 16 observations. The September 18 capture saw only three listings per print. These small samples cannot establish a sold-price range, grading premium or insertion rate; the figures also do not transfer to English or French versions.

Pre-Release Forecasts vs Release-Day Asks

Japanese market sites published pre-release forecasts for several of these cards before the official release. Here is what was forecast, dated, next to what SNKRDUNK actually listed at on release day:

Card Pre-release forecast (dated Sept 9, 2026) Release-day ask (Sept 16, 2026)
Mew ex FUR [135/103] ¥105,000–220,000 ¥22,222
Mewtwo ex FUR [134/103] ¥105,000–200,000 ¥17,999
Pikachu ex SAR, night [127/103] ¥70,000–95,000 ¥13,000
Pikachu ex SAR, day [126/103] ¥70,000–95,000 ¥11,000
Mew ex SAR [129/103] ¥49,000–70,000 ¥9,300
FUTURISTIC BOX (sealed) ¥105,000–150,000+ ¥49,500

Every card and product shown above with a pre-release forecast is sitting well under that forecast on release-day asks — these are two different dated figures, a forecast made before release and an actual listing price made on release day, and they don’t match. Card Set (Oct 16) promo forecasts — for cards that have not released yet — remain labelled as forecasts, since that product hasn’t come out.

Mew ex 135/103 Futuristic Rare 30th Celebration official card image
Mew ex 135/103 FUR — forecast ¥105,000–220,000 (Sept 9), release-day ask ¥22,222 (Sept 16)
Pikachu ex 127/103 night Special Art Rare 30th Celebration official card image
Pikachu ex 127/103 (night) SAR — forecast ¥70,000–95,000 (Sept 9), release-day ask ¥13,000 (Sept 16)

The September 18 observations above add another dated comparison, not a new forecast. Pre-release estimates can refer to a shop buy price or an expected retail market level, so they should not be treated as the same kind of evidence as a seller asking price. None of these figures is an SST purchase offer, guaranteed sale value or expected return.

Our Listings on Release Day

The September 16 edition also displayed our store offers beside the marketplace snapshot. Those store quotes can change independently of the dated asks, so this refreshed section directs you to the current product pages: M6a Booster Box (buying guide), FUTURISTIC BOX (guide), Premium Deck Set Espeon & Umbreon (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) (guide) and the Card Set All 9 Types. Check availability and dispatch information for the exact offer. If unavailable, request sourcing through Quick Order.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these market prices sale prices or asking prices?

Asking prices only: seller listing figures observed on SNKRDUNK on the date shown. The original tables use September 16, 2026 unless another date is stated; the follow-up tables are explicitly dated September 18. None of them is a completed-sale record or a live September 20 quote.

How much did the M6a box’s asking price fall before release?

From ¥47,200 on September 1 to ¥28,200 on September 10 to ¥17,500 on release day, September 16, 2026 — still about 2.4x the ¥7,200 MSRP.

Which secret rares got their first market listing on release day?

Kommo-o AR 119/103, Ditto AR 121/103, Mewtwo ex SAR 128/103, Mew ex SAR 129/103 and Gengar ex SAR 131/103 were first recorded in the checked snapshots on September 16. This describes the report’s dataset, not the first offer by every seller on the marketplace.

How do the pre-release forecasts compare with the release-day asks?

Every card and product shown above with a published pre-release forecast (dated September 9, 2026) is listing well under that forecast on release-day SNKRDUNK asks. We’re presenting the two dated figures side by side, not endorsing either one.

What are the RGB Mew cards worth?

The September 16 SNKRDUNK asks were R/RGB ¥868,000, G/RGB ¥580,000 and B/RGB ¥600,000. The September 18 follow-up recorded ¥620,000, ¥369,999 and ¥420,000 respectively for the Japanese prints. These are asking prices from small listing samples, not completed sales, a guaranteed value or a forecast.

Where can I buy 30th CELEBRATION sealed product?
