I was lucky to get a sample card way back when AL preorders came in. Does anyone know how rare these were and how many of them exist? Multiple copies of them, or just one?

With a majority of the sales occurring during release, a lot of those boxes were cracked (low pricing, dead TCG IP)

Since then, you can see the much smaller spike in quantity during the boom in February. Indicating a limited product.

SB02 supply chart on the other hand is much more condensed and shows it was printed to meet demand at the time with steady supply.

I truly think SB01 is severely underpriced at the moment.
SB02 will most likely follow suit due to the demand.

Thoughts?

Lots of attention is starting to hit the product now.

According to Toei Animation’s latest fiscal report ending March 2026, the franchise generated an insane $134.2 million in revenue worldwide. Even after decades, Goku and the gang continue dominating through games, movies, merchandise, and global fandom.

For comparison, One Piece reportedly brought in around $179.6 million during the same period 👀
