Tag All-Stars (SM12a) is a Japanese “High Class Pack” from the Tag Team GX era of the Pokemon TCG, catalogued by Limitless TCG with a release date of October 4, 2019. It’s the kind of set that shows up on a buyer’s radar for a specific reason — usually one card — rather than as a set people set out to collect in full.
This guide covers what we can confirm about buying into Tag All-Stars in 2026: the sealed box itself, the one chase card we currently have graded and listed, and how to think through box vs. single as a purchase. For a full card-by-card rarity breakdown of the set, our Tag All-Stars card-by-card breakdown and best cards guide is the deeper reference — this article stays focused on the buying decision itself.
Tag All-Stars (SM12a) released October 4, 2019 and is catalogued at 173 rows by Limitless TCG as of August 2026. Our sealed box is currently listed at ¥215,250 (~$1,354). The set’s headline chase card, the Togepi & Cleffa & Igglybuff GX SR:SA (SM12a 186/173), is currently listed graded PSA 10 at ¥125,840 (~$791) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order). Full pack-count and MSRP detail is covered in our linked card breakdown guide rather than restated here.
Prices below are our current listed prices as of August 2026, converted at ¥159/USD.
What’s Inside a Tag All-Stars Box
Tag All-Stars is a Japanese “High Class Pack” — the Tag Team GX era’s premium sealed format, sold as its own standalone box rather than a booster expansion built around one theme. Limitless TCG’s set index lists a release date of October 4, 2019 and catalogues 173 rows for the set as of August 2026.
We’re not going to restate a pack-per-box count or an official MSRP here, because that level of detail belongs to the dedicated set breakdown rather than a buying guide, and we want to keep this article limited to figures we can stand behind. If you want the full rarity table — every GX, every Tag Team GX pairing, and how the secret-rare tier is structured — that’s laid out card-by-card in our Tag All-Stars card-by-card breakdown and best cards guide.
What we can confirm directly is the box product itself and the one graded single from the set we currently have listed, which is the subject of the next section.
What “Tag Team GX” Means for This Box
Tag Team GX cards are a Pokemon TCG design built around two or three Pokemon sharing a single card, with a shared GX attack and a shared set of HP and weaknesses across the trio. The format ran through several Japanese and English sets between 2019 and 2020, and “Tag All-Stars” is one of the Japanese High Class Packs built specifically around that mechanic — hence the “Tag Team GX Tag All Stars” wording printed on the product itself.
That framing matters for a buying decision: a High Class Pack from this era is generally built to headline one or two Tag Team GX trios rather than spread chase value evenly across a large set, which is consistent with the single confirmed secret-rare card we’re covering below.
It also means this box isn’t the release most collectors reach for when building a broad Base-Set-style run — it’s a targeted product, and the buying decision usually comes down to whether the specific Tag Team GX trio featured in it is one you want.
The Chase Card: Togepi & Cleffa & Igglybuff GX SR:SA
The card most associated with this set is the Togepi & Cleffa & Igglybuff GX, SM12a 186/173, SR:SA — a Special Art secret rare pulled from the High Class Pack “Tag Team GX Tag All Stars.” Its card number, 186, sits above the set’s 173-row base count, which is typical of how Japanese High Class Pack secret tiers are numbered relative to the main set: the base numbering covers the “regular” print run, and secret-rare art variants pick up numbers past that count.
We currently have this card graded PSA 10 and listed at ¥125,840 (~$791) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order). PSA independently determines authenticity and grade; we’re simply passing along our current listed price for the graded copy we hold, not a market average or a claim about where the card “should” trade.
Beyond this card, we don’t have a verified secret-rare table for SM12a to publish here — that breakdown lives in the linked card breakdown guide above. If you’re chasing a specific Tag Team GX trio card from this set, that guide is the place to check for it before you buy sealed product hoping to open into it yourself, since we can’t publish opening odds for a box in this article.
Box vs. Graded Single, Side by Side
Since we only have two Tag All-Stars listings to point to right now, it’s worth laying them out directly rather than making you cross-reference the sections above:
| Listing | What it is | Current price |
|---|---|---|
| SM12A sealed booster box | Full sealed box, unopened | ¥215,250 (~$1,354) |
| Togepi & Cleffa & Igglybuff GX SR:SA (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) | Single card, graded PSA 10 | ¥125,840 (~$791) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) |
Neither option is inherently the “better” buy — they answer different questions. The box answers “I want the sealed-opening experience and whatever else this set contains.” The graded single answers “I want this specific card, confirmed, at a known grade.” If your goal is display or a set-completion collection focused on graded Tag Team GX cards, the single is the more direct path. If it’s the sealed product itself you’re after, the box is the only option we have listed for that.
There’s also a cost-certainty angle worth naming directly. The graded single (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) is a known quantity the moment you buy it — you know exactly what card, what grade, and what condition you’re getting for ¥125,840 (~$791). The sealed box is a bet on unknown contents at ¥215,250 (~$1,354), with the Togepi & Cleffa & Igglybuff GX as one possible pull among however many are in the set, not a guaranteed outcome. Neither of those is a reason to avoid the box — opening product is part of the hobby for a lot of collectors — but it’s worth being clear-eyed about which purchase gives you certainty and which one doesn’t.
Current Box Pricing
Our sealed Tag All-Stars box is currently listed at ¥215,250 (~$1,354). That’s our own listed price for this SKU, not a market-wide average, and we’re not claiming it as a discount against any other seller — we simply don’t have verified competitor pricing to compare it to.
We also aren’t going to speculate about why a 2019 release prices where it does in 2026. Pricing on older Japanese sealed product moves for a lot of reasons — collector demand, remaining print-run supply, and set-specific interest among them — and we don’t have data isolating any single driver for this set. What we can tell you is the price we have it listed at right now.
Buying Older Sealed Product: What to Check
Tag All-Stars is now several years past its original release, and buying any sealed box that old — from any seller — is worth approaching with the same checklist you’d use for any older sealed Japanese product:
- Wrapper condition. Shrink wrap on older Japanese boxes can shrink, yellow slightly, or show handling marks after years in storage. That’s cosmetic and normal for the age of the product, not necessarily a sign of tampering.
- Weight and seal integrity. A legitimate sealed box should feel consistent pack-to-pack when you pick it up, with no obvious resealing at the flaps.
- Storage history. Where and how a box was stored between 2019 and now affects box condition more than most other factors, especially for humidity-sensitive card stock.
- Seller transparency. Ask for current photos of the specific unit you’d be buying rather than relying on stock images, particularly for a box this far removed from its release date.
None of this is specific to Tag All-Stars — it’s general practice for buying any multi-year-old sealed Japanese TCG product, and it applies whether you’re buying from us or anyone else.
Who Should Buy This Box vs Alternatives
A sealed Tag All-Stars box makes the most sense for two kinds of buyers: collectors specifically completing the Tag Team GX High Class Pack lineup, and buyers who want the option of pulling a Togepi & Cleffa & Igglybuff GX themselves rather than buying the graded single directly. If your goal is simply owning that specific card, buying the graded PSA 10 copy (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) outright is the more predictable route than opening packs chasing it.
If you’re weighing this box against a newer Tag Team GX era High Class Pack, see our Tag All-Stars vs VSTAR Universe box comparison for how the two sets stack up as buys.
- Buy the box if: you’re building a Tag Team GX era High Class Pack collection and want the sealed-opening experience alongside your set run.
- Buy the single if: the Togepi & Cleffa & Igglybuff GX SR:SA is specifically what you want, graded and confirmed, without opening risk.
- Compare first if: you’re deciding between eras — see the VSTAR Universe comparison above before committing.
- Hold off if: you’re new to buying multi-year-old Japanese sealed product and haven’t worked through the condition checklist above — it’s worth reading before you commit to a box at this price point.
Either way, both listings on this page are current as of when this guide was published, and both can go through the same checkout flow as any other product on the site.
