Lost Origin sleeved boosters still undervalued?

If you’ve been following Sword & Shield booster box prices, you have likely noticed that prices are going up across the board.

Here are the current prices of some of the SWSH booster boxes on Cardmarket:

Evolving Skies: €580
Fusion Strike: €150
Brilliant Stars: €163
Lost Origin: €160
Silver Tempest: €120

Prices are still climbing and many SWSH era booster boxes are already out of print. I expect this trend to continue, as we are already see alt arts like Gengar VMAX grow in price.

I think Lost Origin is at a neat price point at the moment. The Giratina alt art will singlehandedly carry that set and I expect booster boxes to grow to €250-€300 within the next 2-3 years (not financial advice 😉).

Booster boxes will always be king, but I want to bring the LO sleeved boosters to your attention. I picked up a sealed case of 24 LO sleeved boosters for €92 including shipping today. If you break that down, it comes down to €3,84 per pack. While sleeved boosters are not guaranteed an alt art, it’s quite a sweet deal for Sword & Shield booster packs that can contain one of the most desirable chase cards from the era. It’s also €0,60 cheaper per booster than when you buy a booster box.

Sleeved booster cases from other sets (Evolving Skies, Fusion Strike, Brilliant Stars) are already €100+.

Do you think it’s a good deal? Or would you stay away from sleeved boosters? Let me know 👇
