About Mysterious Treasures

The second Diamond & Pearl set, adding Pokémon such as Lucario and Garchomp. Released on 1 August 2007, it belongs to the EX, Diamond & Pearl and HeartGold SoulSilver years, whose sealed product is now scarce. It came out 19 years ago, so most sealed stock has been opened and what is left sits with collectors.

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

What collectors open Mysterious Treasures for

The Mysterious Treasures cards collectors most want to pull are Uxie, Tyranitar, Typhlosion, Raichu and Mesprit. 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.

Is the Mysterious Treasures Booster Box a good investment?

After 19 years, sealed Mysterious Treasures booster boxes rarely come up, and prices tend to rise as boxes are opened and supply shrinks. Booster boxes are the sealed product most collectors hold long term, as they are easy to store and to value. Watch the price of Uxie, the set's headline card, since sealed Mysterious Treasures tends to move with it.

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

Look closely at the wrapping in the photos. Factory wrap on booster boxes has neat seams, often with Pokémon logos printed on it; baggy, shiny or uneven wrap is a common sign of a reseal. 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.
