Why now
September 16, 2026 is the street date for the set and the regular ETB.
Anniversary · Drops Sep 16, 2026
30th Celebration
First worldwide same-day Pokémon TCG launch, all-foil packs, Futuristic Rares by YOSHIROTTEN, 30 Pikachu cards, and a Base Set Charizard reprint.

The play
Preorder the regular ETB ($49.99, 9 packs) to open. UPC Day and UPC Night street November 6 — do not treat them as launch-week SKUs.
The risk
Print run will be huge. If allocation is generous, week-one street prices can dip under preorder.
