Tag All-Stars is currently listed at ¥187,200; 30th CELEBRATION is currently listed at ¥23,500–¥28,500. Putting them side by side is less about which set is “better” and more about understanding why a seven-year-old High Class Pack now sits in a completely different price bracket from a box that released on September 16, 2026.
30th CELEBRATION (M6a) released worldwide on Wednesday, September 16, 2026. SM12a Tag All-Stars released in Japan on October 4, 2019, as a Tag Team GX-era “High Class Pack.” Both are Japanese booster products, but one is a current release currently listed at ¥23,500–¥28,500, and the other is out of print.
The 30th CELEBRATION Booster Box (MSRP ¥7,200, 20 packs) is currently listed at ¥23,500–¥28,500 on our site. SM12a Tag All-Stars is a 2019 High Class Pack currently listed at ¥187,200 — roughly 8× the newer box’s price — built around the Togepi & Cleffa & Igglybuff GX Special Art secret rare.

|---|---|---|
| Released | September 16, 2026 (worldwide) | October 4, 2019 (Japan) |

30th CELEBRATION: The Current Release
The official Japanese product page confirms ¥360 (tax included) per pack, six foil cards per pack, and one YOSHIROTTEN-designed Basic Energy guaranteed in every pack. Main-set M6a cards carry regulation mark J and are usable under the Standard regulation in effect since January 23, 2026 (marks H, I and J).
The 30 Classic Collection reprints (136–165), including the Charizard above, carry no regulation mark; the official page states they cannot be used in the current Standard regulation but can be used wherever the original card they reprint is legal. If you already have the booster box on your list, its same-day companion is the Premium Deck Set Espeon & Umbreon (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order), two fixed decks with no packs to open.
Tag All-Stars: The 2019 High Class Pack
SM12a Tag All-Stars released in Japan on October 4, 2019, as a “High Class Pack” during the Tag Team GX era. The official card database lists 210 entries for the set; Limitless TCG’s own set index, quoted in our buying guide, counts 173 base rows as of August 2026 — the two figures come from different counting methods and are not directly comparable. Neither the official page nor our guide states a packs-per-box figure or an official box MSRP for this set, so we don’t print one here.
The card most associated with the set is Togepi & Cleffa & Igglybuff GX, SM12a 186/173, a Special Art secret rare pulled from Tag All-Stars packs. The official database confirms the numbers 185/173, 016/173, 052/173 and 100/173; the Double Rare label is our guide’s.
Chase Cards Compared
M6a’s headline chases are the two Futuristic Rares by YOSHIROTTEN — Mew ex (135/103) and Mewtwo ex (134/103) — plus the Special Art Rare Pikachu ex pair, day (126/103) and night (127/103). PokeBeach also reports three secret Mew cards, numbered R/RGB, G/RGB and B/RGB and illustrated by YOSHIROTTEN, pulled from early-opened 30th CELEBRATION products and surfaced through a Pokemon TCG Live update on September 15, 2026; they sit outside every official list and their pull rate is unknown.
Togepi & Cleffa & Igglybuff GX (186/173) is the card most associated with the set, per our guide, with the Reshiram & Charizard GX and Mewtwo & Mew GX Double Rares as secondary pulls from the same box.
Which One Fits You
- You want the current 30th anniversary release at an accessible price: the 30th CELEBRATION Booster Box, currently listed at ¥23,500–¥28,500, with a chance at the set’s new secret rares.
- You specifically collect the Togepi & Cleffa & Igglybuff GX print or the Tag Team GX era: Tag All-Stars. This is a high-value specialist purchase currently listed at ¥187,200, not an entry-level box.
- You want to spread your budget across both eras: an M6a box alongside a single Tag All-Stars card, rather than a full Tag All-Stars box, keeps the vintage-era spend lower.
