Two support cards. One full-art secret rare, one card in a rarity slot collectors widely credit as an early Character Rare appearance. That’s the short version of why collectors still search out SM11b Dream League six years after it left Japanese shelves.
Dream League released on August 2, 2019, as the second strengthened expansion built on top of SM11 Miracle Twin — a 49-card base set padded out with a run of secret rares that different databases count differently. This guide focuses on two of them: Rosa, and a Steelix in the CHR slot collectors widely associate with this set. It walks through the set’s structure, both chase cards, what else is worth watching for, and where the sealed and graded market for Dream League stands today.
Dream League’s headline pull is Rosa SR (067/049) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order), currently listed PSA 10 at ¥93,689. Right behind it in collector interest is Steelix CHR (060/049) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order), currently listed PSA 10 at ¥8,693 — a fraction of the price for a card in a rarity slot collectors widely credit as one of the format’s early appearances. Graded singles like these move one holder at a time — once a listing sells, availability depends on our sourcing.
Prices below reflect our current Tokyo-sourced listings as of August 2026. We don’t carry every card mentioned in this guide, and prices we don’t quote directly are not implied inventory.
What Is SM11b Dream League?
Dream League (SM11b) is a strengthened expansion pack in the Sun & Moon series, released in Japan on August 2, 2019. It sits directly after SM11 Miracle Twin and SM11a Remix Bout in that summer’s release run — all three are commonly grouped together as the “SM11 trio,” and each has its own secret-rare chase card.
The base set runs to 049 — that part is consistent across every database we checked. Above that, sources disagree on the total card count: LimitlessTCG’s own set page lists 68 cards, while Serebii.net lists 75 (49 normal plus 26 secret). We were not able to resolve that gap, so we’re not going to state a single “true” total here — treat the secret-rare count as somewhere in that range depending on how a given source is bucketing variants.
What we can say with confidence is the shape of the upper numbering: cards 050–061/049 form a 12-card block, and the SR and SR:SA secret rares run above that. That structure is where the two cards this guide focuses on live.
The Chase Card: Rosa SR (067/049)
Dream League’s chase secret rare is a Supporter card: Rosa, numbered 067/049. Internationally the character is localized as Rosa; in Japan she’s Mei. The card carries a Secret Rare, full-art treatment, and it’s the print collectors reach for first when they talk about this set.
We currently list a PSA 10 graded copy at ¥93,689 (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order). Graded singles like this move one holder at a time — once this listing sells, availability depends on our sourcing.
If you’re chasing a raw copy instead of a graded one, condition is worth checking closely on raw full-art Supporters before you buy.
Steelix CHR (060/049) and the Character Rare Question
Card 060/049 is Steelix, and it sits in the 12-card block spanning 050–061/049 that dealers and collector marketplaces label as Character Rare (CHR) — a rarity that pairs a Pokemon illustration with a human trainer character in the same full-art frame.
PunkOuter Games and Kanagawa Cards both list card 060/049 as Character Rare (CHR), consistent with the CHR block spanning 050–061/049. Separately, the description of Dream League as one of the earliest sets to use the Character Rare format is community-reported among collector blogs and secondary-market write-ups — not something we could independently corroborate. That “first” claim also isn’t corroborated by Bulbapedia’s Rarity article, which doesn’t define a “Character Rare” category at all — CHR appears to be a term that took hold in the secondary market and among Japanese-card dealers rather than one used in official set materials. Treat the “early CHR set” framing as widely credited by collectors, not as a confirmed publisher fact.
Whatever the terminology history, the CHR block trades at a noticeably lower price point than the SR/SR:SA tier above it. We currently have a PSA 10 Steelix listed at ¥8,693 (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) — a graded entry point into the set for collectors who want a Dream League card without the Rosa SR price tag. Graded singles like this move one holder at a time — once this listing sells, availability depends on our sourcing.
Other Notable Pulls
Rosa and Steelix get the attention, but the SR tier above the CHR block has more than one card worth knowing if you’re identifying a pull.
Solgaleo & Lunala GX SR (063/049) is a TAG TEAM secret rare pairing the two box Legendaries of the Sun & Moon era. We don’t currently carry a graded copy of this one, so we’re not quoting a price — if you’re building a Dream League set and it’s on your list, our Quick Order page is the fastest way to ask us to source it.
The base set also has its own Reshiram & Zekrom GX print at 036/049, pictured above — the standard-frame version — as opposed to the secret-rare copy numbered 064/049, which carries an SR:SA (Special Art) treatment. If you’ve pulled a Reshiram & Zekrom GX from a Dream League pack, checking whether it’s numbered 036 or 064 is the fastest way to tell which one you’re holding.
Pull Rates: What’s Actually Known
The Pokemon Company has never published official pull rates for Dream League, and that’s true across the whole SM11 trio — so any specific “1 in X boxes” figure you see quoted online is an unofficial, community-reported estimate rather than a confirmed statistic. We’re not going to repeat a number we can’t source.
What the card numbering does tell you is the relative structure: cards 001–049 make up the base set you’ll find distributed through most packs, the 050–061 block is the 12-card CHR tier, and 062 and up is where the SR and SR:SA secret rares live — the tier that includes both Rosa and the Solgaleo & Lunala / Reshiram & Zekrom GX secret prints. Community pull discussions consistently describe higher-numbered tiers as scarcer, though no official odds exist, which lines up with why Rosa (067) commands a materially higher price than Steelix (060) in our own listings. Beyond that ordering, we’d point you to community pull-rate discussions with the understanding that they’re anecdotal, not fixed odds set by the publisher.
The Sealed Box
For collectors who’d rather open packs than buy singles, sealed Dream League product is still available through our Tokyo inventory. A box gives you shots at the full spread covered in this guide — base-set cards, the CHR block, and the SR/SR:SA secret-rare tier where Rosa lives.
In our own sourcing, restocks of 2019-era boxes have been irregular, and Dream League is no exception — we treat this listing the same way we treat our other 2019-era stock: once it’s sold, replacing it depends entirely on what surfaces in our sourcing pipeline. For a broader look at how vintage Japanese boxes like this one hold value over time, see our vintage Japanese booster box guide.
Where to Buy Dream League Cards and Boxes
We ship Japanese sealed product and singles worldwide from Tokyo with tracked delivery. For Dream League specifically, your three most direct routes are:
- Graded singles — Rosa SR PSA 10 (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) and Steelix CHR PSA 10 (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) are both currently listed — graded singles like these move one holder at a time, so once a listing sells, availability depends on our sourcing.
- Sealed product — the Dream League booster box, currently listed at ¥165,900, or browse our full Japanese sealed booster box collection for other SM-era sets.
- More graded singles — our PSA 10 collection covers other Sun & Moon-era chase cards beyond this one set, or use our Quick Order page to build a mixed order or ask us to source a card we don’t currently list.
Dream League is part of a three-set run worth knowing as a group. If Rosa and Steelix aren’t quite what you’re after, our companion guides cover the other two: SM11 Miracle Twin and SM11a Remix Bout. For Supporter and Trainer-class secret rares more broadly, see our Marnie card guide, and if you’re weighing Dream League against other Japanese high-class pack releases, our best Japanese high-class packs roundup and the full PSA 10 card list are good next stops.
