Expedition Booster Pack guide
What's inside the Expedition Booster Pack
One sealed Expedition Booster Pack contains a random selection of 9 to 11 cards, with at least one rare, all from Expedition.
Vintage packs came with different artwork on the wrapper, and collectors often pay more for a particular Pokémon on the front. Some sellers also list "heavy" packs picked by weight to hold a holo, which is worth knowing before you buy loose packs.
1st Edition and Unlimited booster packs are both listed here, and 1st Edition sells for far more, so check the listing title before comparing prices.
About Expedition
The first e-Card set, printed with dot codes for the Nintendo e-Reader and redesigned card frames. Released on 15 September 2002, it belongs to the Wizards of the Coast era, when Pokémon cards first took off and print runs were far smaller than today. It came out 24 years ago, so most sealed stock has been opened and what is left sits with collectors.
Expedition has 165 cards in its main numbering.
What collectors open Expedition for
The Expedition cards collectors most want to pull are Charizard, Blastoise, Venusaur and Mewtwo. Any one pack can hold them, but most packs will not: buying the single card is usually cheaper than opening for it.
Our catalogue lists the set's rarest tiers as 32 Holo Rares and 40 Rares. Prices for every card are on the Expedition set page.

Is the Expedition Booster Pack a good investment?
Sealed Expedition is now a collector's item: very few unopened booster packs survive, and each one opened makes the rest rarer. Condition and authenticity matter more than anything else at this age. Single packs are the easiest to resell but also the most likely to have been searched or weighed. Watch the price of Charizard, the set's headline card, since sealed Expedition tends to move with it.
None of this is financial advice: sealed prices can fall as well as rise. Our guide should you buy sealed Pokémon products? weighs up both sides.
Before you buy
Look closely at the wrapping in the photos. Factory wrap on packs is tight and crimped evenly at both ends; baggy, shiny or uneven wrap is a common sign of a reseal. For an Expedition Booster Pack at around €4,148, ask the seller for photos of all sides and stick to accounts with plenty of positive feedback. Avoid "weighed" or searched packs from bulk sellers: some sellers weigh packs to pull the holos out first. For product this old, ask whether it has been checked by an authenticator: fakes and resealed vintage boxes are made to fool buyers. Compare the total with delivery, not just the price, and store sealed product flat, out of sunlight and away from damp.
