About HeartGold SoulSilver

Opened the HeartGold SoulSilver series, introducing two-card Pokémon LEGEND and Pokémon Prime. Released on 10 February 2010, it belongs to the EX, Diamond & Pearl and HeartGold SoulSilver years, whose sealed product is now scarce. 16 years on, most of its sealed stock has long been opened, and unopened product mostly changes hands between collectors.

HeartGold SoulSilver has 123 cards in its main numbering, plus 1 secret rare numbered beyond it.

The cards a HeartGold SoulSilver Booster Pack can hold

The HeartGold SoulSilver cards collectors most want to pull are Ho-Oh LEGEND and Lugia LEGEND. 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 1 Ultra Rare, 4 LEGENDs and 6 Prime. See every HeartGold SoulSilver card price for what each is worth.

HeartGold SoulSilver Booster Pack as an investment

After 16 years, sealed HeartGold SoulSilver booster packs rarely come up, and prices tend to rise as boxes are opened and supply shrinks. Single packs are the easiest to resell but also the most likely to have been searched or weighed. Much of its sealed value rests on demand for Ho-Oh LEGEND and Lugia LEGEND: if those cards rise, unopened product usually follows.

Past prices do not guarantee future ones, and this is not financial advice. Read should you buy sealed Pokémon products? for the pros and cons.

Before you buy

Check the shrink wrap: factory wrap on packs is tight and crimped evenly at both ends, and loose or glossy wrap can mean a resealed product. At €5,242 it is worth asking for photos of every side and buying from sellers with a long, positive history, since resealed and weighed product is common. 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. Check whether delivery from ebay.com adds import fees, and store sealed product flat, out of sunlight and away from damp.
