What Each Listing Name Means

“Sealed” and “No Shrink” sit as two variations on the same product page. Per our site-wide No Shrink guide: “On our product listing, ‘No Shrink’ identifies one thing: the box is sold without its outer shrink-wrap film. That is the entire distinction as it appears on the page.” The same guide is explicit about the limits of that claim: “It doesn’t describe any condition of the cardboard itself, the pack count, or the box’s contents.”

“Damaged Box” and “Damaged Box (Grade B)” are two separate product listings. Our SV2A Damaged Box listing describes the general category: “Sealed with shrink wrap intact. This box is unopened and still sealed in its original shrink wrap. It is discounted because of cosmetic damage to the outer box (e.g., dents or scratches). The cards inside are unaffected,” and it draws the line between the two grades: “Damage grade A: This box has minor cosmetic damage to the outer box, such as small dents or scuffs. Grade B boxes (sold separately) have more noticeable damage such as larger dents, creases, or scuffs. In both grades the cards inside are unaffected.”

The Grade B listing itself adds: “Grade B: More noticeable cosmetic damage to the outer box, such as dents, creases, or scuffs. Original shrink wrap is present and may also show wear or damage.” Both Damaged listings carry the standard checkout notice: “This order contains discounted item(s) sold at a reduced price due to cosmetic condition issues (e.g., damaged shrink wrap, dented box). The cards inside are unaffected. I understand and accept the condition of the item(s).” Photos on every one of these listings are marked as samples: “The actual item you receive may differ from the photos.”

Four Listings, Side by Side

Listing Condition Price
Sealed Standard sealed box, shrink wrap intact, no noted cosmetic damage ¥45,900 (~$298)
No Shrink Shrink-wrap film removed; packs inside still sealed Sold out
Damaged Box Shrink wrap intact; cosmetic damage to the outer box ¥43,200 (~$281)
Damaged Box (Grade B) Shrink wrap present (may show wear); more noticeable dents/creases/scuffs ¥42,300 (~$275)

The plain Damaged Box listing is priced below Sealed here, and among the damaged tiers, Grade B is the lower-priced listing. The No Shrink option has no outer shrink-wrap film and is sold out at the time of this update — sourcing requests go through Quick Order. Our own Damaged Box pricing review found that this varies by set: across 6 regular-vs-Damaged Box pairs checked live, only 1 was priced identically and 5 showed the Damaged Box costing more, not less. Its guidance applies directly here: “Read what the specific listing says about condition. Any ‘Damaged’ detail is set out on each individual product page — it isn’t a fixed, uniform category across sets.”

What’s Inside a Pokemon 151 Box

Pokemon Card 151 (officially 強化拡張パック「ポケモンカード151(イチゴーイチ)」, an Enhanced Expansion Pack) released in Japan on June 16, 2023, built around the original 151-strong Kanto Pokedex. Our SV2A buying guide puts it directly: “Each pack retails at ¥290 (tax included) for 7 cards, and a booster box runs 20 packs — a retailer/media figure that puts the box’s theoretical retail MSRP around ¥5,800 (~$38); it isn’t stated on the official product page.”

The set totals 210 entries in the official card database. As the guide describes it: “Pokemon Card 151 (SV2a) is a 210-card set — a 165-card base checklist plus a 45-card secret-rarity run (18 AR, 16 SR, 8 SAR, 3 UR).”

The Chase Card Lineup

Our guide names the starter-trio Special Art Rares plus the set’s headline secret as the cards most collectors target: “The starter-trio Special Art Rares — Venusaur ex, Charizard ex, and Blastoise ex (#200–202) — and Mew ex, which is printed at three tiers (SR #195, SAR #205, and the set-topping UR #208). Erika’s Invitation SAR (#206) is also widely named as a premium pull.”

Card Number Rarity
Mew ex 208/165 UR
Charizard ex 201/165 SAR
Mew ex 205/165 SAR
Venusaur ex 200/165 SAR
Blastoise ex 202/165 SAR
Erika’s Invitation 206/165 SAR
Giovanni’s Charisma 207/165 SAR
Charizard ex 185/165 SR
Mew ex 195/165 SR

Every number above is confirmed against the official card database.
