About Legendary Collection

A reprint set of classic Wizards cards that introduced reverse holos, with the distinctive "firework" foil pattern. Released on 24 May 2002, it belongs to the Wizards of the Coast era, when Pokémon cards first took off and print runs were far smaller than today. 24 years on, most of its sealed stock has long been opened, and unopened product mostly changes hands between collectors.

Legendary Collection has 110 cards in its main numbering.

Chase cards to look for

The Legendary Collection cards collectors most want to pull are Charizard, Blastoise, Venusaur and Gengar. With 36 packs, a box gives you the most chances at them of any sealed product, though no box is guaranteed to hold any one card.

Our catalogue lists the set's rarest tiers as 19 Holo Rares and 19 Rares. See every Legendary Collection card price for what each is worth.

Legendary Collection Booster Box as an investment

Sealed Legendary Collection is now a collector's item: very few unopened booster boxes survive, and each one opened makes the rest rarer. Condition and authenticity matter more than anything else at this age. Booster boxes are the sealed product most collectors hold long term, as they are easy to store and to value. Much of its sealed value rests on demand for Charizard and Blastoise: 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 booster boxes has neat seams, often with Pokémon logos printed on it, and loose or glossy wrap can mean a resealed product. A full box gives better odds than loose packs, and its value as a sealed item is easier to judge (how to value a sealed booster box). 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 abroad adds import fees, and store sealed product flat, out of sunlight and away from damp.
