## Key points

- Early UPC shipments have sent resale prices soaring.
- A dedicated pack features Classic Collection reprints such as Charizard and Lugia.
- More supply could lower prices for sealed products and individual cards.

## Summary

Early shipments of Pokémon’s 30th Anniversary Ultra Premium Collection (UPC) are already driving high resale prices and excitement over its Espeon and Umbreon cards. The release could reshape the trading card market because it offers a dedicated Classic Collection pack, making sought-after reprints more accessible than in ordinary packs.

The UPC contains 30 packs, including one with cards from the Classic Collection, which features Charizard and Lugia. Those cards are listed at $155 and $192, while the base set’s most expensive special illustration card, Mew, is around $77; prices may shift as more UPCs reach buyers. Some listings exceed $500, but growing supply and wider retail availability could push prices down, as happened with anniversary Elite Trainer Boxes, which fell from nearly $200 to about $100.
