Sealed formats and prices as reported by PokeGuardian from The Pokémon Company's August 20 announcement — reported prices, not sold comps, and the maker's own product pages did not list prices on the read date. A booster pack is 10 cards. Booster boxes (36-pack displays) reach the market through distributors and eBay; The Pokémon Company sells ETBs, bundles and blisters at retail.

| Card | Why it matters | Market |
|---|---|---|
| Mega Rayquaza ex — Special Illustration Rare | The set's face and the reason the presale book exists. In every Mega Evolution set so far, the headline Mega ex SIR has been the single most expensive pull. | Live search → |
| Mega Rayquaza ex — Ultra Rare / regular | The playable copies. Retail-value buyer's lane; expect the regular ex to trade at pack price within weeks. | Live search → |
| Mega Golisopod ex · Mega Golurk ex · Mega Malamar ex | The other three Mega ex. Their SIRs are the second tier; their popularity with players decides which one holds. | Golisopod → · Golurk → · Malamar → |
| Legendary Stadium pairs | Six Stadium cards that pair into three joined artworks — a new card type for the series and the most likely collector novelty in the set. | Live search → |
| Illustration Rares (14) | The art cards. Individually cheap, collectively the reason ETBs sell; the one or two fan-favourite Pokémon among them carry the tier. | Live search → |
Delta Reign has no sold tape. Its three most recent siblings do, and two of them — Chaos Rising and Pitch Black — are tracked as set indices on this site. These are dated sold comps from PriceCharting's completed-sales tables: median of the counted sales in the stated window.
| Sealed item | Sold median | Sales · window | Read |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phantasmal Flames booster boxMega Evolution set 2 · Nov 2025 | $381.08 | 30 sales · Aug 29–Sep 26, 2026 | The November set from last year, ten months on. Three of the 30 rows were sold with an acrylic display case included. This is the sibling Delta Reign most resembles by calendar slot. |
| Phantasmal Flames Elite Trainer Box$49.99 at retail | $142.50 | 23 sales · Aug 28–Sep 25, 2026 | An ETB at nearly three times its retail price ten months later. The ETB, not the booster box, has been the retail-value buyer's best sealed hold in this series. |
| Chaos Rising booster boxMega Evolution set 4 · CR26 index | $173.75 | 30 sales · Sep 24–26, 2026 | A recent set trading near its $161.64 display price, with 30 sales in three days — deep and liquid, not scarce. |
| Pitch Black booster boxMega Evolution set 5 · PB26 index | $174.00 | 30 sales · Sep 24–26, 2026 | The July set, same read as Chaos Rising: at print, a box trades at roughly its display price. Appreciation, where it happens, comes later and to the sets that stop being printed. |
All figures are dated sold comps from PriceCharting's completed-sales tables for the ungraded/sealed item, read September 26, 2026; median of the counted sales in the stated window. PriceCharting caps the visible table at the 30 most recent sales, so a 30-sale window is a floor on volume, not a count. Titles and sellers are never published. Nothing here is a price for a Delta Reign product.
At print, a Mega Evolution booster box is worth about its display price. Chaos Rising and Pitch Black both trade within $15 of $161.64 with 30 sales in three days. The $499.99 presale ask on eBay for Delta Reign is three times that, on a product nobody has opened. Paying it is paying for impatience.
The appreciation case is the calendar, not the cards. Phantasmal Flames — last November's set — sells for $381.08 a box ten months later, and its ETB for $142.50 against $49.99 retail. The sets that appreciate are the ones whose print run ends; a set in its first month is still being printed. Delta Reign will be a print-run story in 2027, not a November story.
Mega Rayquaza carries more of this set than usual. Four Mega ex and six SIRs is a narrow top tier, and Rayquaza is the only name in it with a decade of chase history, so the SIR tier is concentrated in one card. That cuts both ways: one card can hold the set's sealed value, and one card's pop report can sink it.
What we will do. The first Delta Reign sold comps print in the week after November 6. This page gets dated singles medians then, and a set index if the sold screen clears, and not before. Until then the honest number is the sibling sets' tape above.
