Skyridge Booster Pack guide

What's inside the Skyridge Booster Pack

Each Skyridge Booster Pack is a single foil pack of a random selection of 9 to 11 cards, with at least one rare from Skyridge.

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 Skyridge

The last Wizards of the Coast set, with a small print run and Crystal Pokémon such as Crystal Charizard. Sealed Skyridge is one of the scarcest English products. Released on 12 May 2003, it belongs to the Wizards of the Coast era, when Pokémon cards first took off and print runs were far smaller than today. 23 years on, most of its sealed stock has long been opened, and unopened product mostly changes hands between collectors.

Skyridge has 144 cards in its main numbering, plus 38 secret rares numbered beyond it.

Chase cards to look for

The Skyridge cards collectors most want to pull are Charizard, Ho-Oh, Celebi and Crobat. 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 41 Rares. See every Skyridge card price for what each is worth.

Skyridge Booster Pack price today

Right now the cheapest Skyridge Booster Pack on eBay costs €51.79 including delivery to Germany, and the typical asking price across 3 listings is €51.79 (ebay.de from €51.79, ebay.co.uk from €3,658).

These are live asking prices, not completed sales, so a good offer is usually close to the cheapest listing rather than the typical one.

Skyridge Booster Pack as an investment

Sealed Skyridge 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. Much of its sealed value rests on demand for Charizard and Ho-Oh: if those cards rise, unopened product usually follows.

Only buy a Skyridge Booster Pack to hold if you are happy to keep it either way, as prices can fall too. This is not financial advice; see should you buy sealed Pokémon products?

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. 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. Always compare totals with delivery included, and keep sealed product away from sunlight, heat and damp once it arrives.
