The ten biggest trading card games right now, ranked by Q2 2026 marketplace sales — with per-pack odds for every premium rarity tier, the current flagship set, and a street-price snapshot. Data as of October 19, 2026.
Wizards of the Coast · Reality Fracture (FRA) · 30 packs/box × 14 cards/pack · Box snapshot: $164.70
| Premium tier | Per-pack rate | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Mythic rare (any) unknown | unknown | unknown — Wizards publishes no per-set mythic rate; the 1-in-7.4 convention is generic, not FRA-specific, so it is not carried over |
| 2nd rare/mythic in pack OFFICIAL | 1 in ~3.8 packs | Wizards of the Coast official Play Booster contents copy (2 rares: 26%; 3 rares: 2%) |
| 3rd rare/mythic in pack OFFICIAL | 1 in 50 packs | Wizards of the Coast official Play Booster contents copy (2 rares: 26%; 3 rares: 2%) |
| Foil borderless rare/mythic (play booster) OFFICIAL | Fewer than 1 in 100 packs | Wizards of the Coast official Play Booster contents copy: 'Foil borderless rare/mythic rare in <1% of boosters' |
| Echoed Pair card unknown | unknown | unknown — no official rate published; no box-opening aggregate exists yet for FRA |
| Headliner: Double Rainbow Foil Bloodline Recollector (serialized, ~500 total) unknown | unknown | unknown — Collector Boosters only; no official rate or community aggregate published |
Box price: MSRP — street price not yet established (Wizards Play Booster MSRP $5.49 × 30-pack display; no separate official box MSRP)
Chase notes: Reality Fracture (FRA) released Oct 2, 2026 — the 114th MTG set and climax of the three-year Echoverse/Metronome arc (mtg.wiki). Headliner chase: Double Rainbow Foil Bloodline Recollector, ~500 serialized, Collector Boosters only (press-start.com.au). Wizards publishes no per-set mythic or Echoed-Pair rates, so those tiers are unknown until box data exists.
The Pokémon Company · Mega Evolution — Pitch Black (ME05) · 36 packs/box × 10 cards/pack · Box snapshot: $179.03
| Premium tier | Per-pack rate | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Double Rare (standard Pokémon ex) COMMUNITY ESTIMATE | 1 in 5 packs | Pepper0ni TTS-PTCG-Pack-Simulator pull-rate wiki, measured ME05 rare-slot data (n=5,311-8,751 packs): 1/4.76; corroborated by TCGTalk's 753-pack Pitch Black study (~25%/pack, ~1 in 4) |
| Illustration Rare COMMUNITY ESTIMATE | 1 in 9 packs | Pepper0ni TTS-PTCG-Pack-Simulator pull-rate wiki, measured ME05 IR-slot data (n=8,751 packs): 1/9; corroborated by TCGPlayer's 4,000+ Pitch Black pack count via Cardrake (1 in 9) and TCGTalk (11.6%/pack, ~1 in 9) |
| Ultra Rare COMMUNITY ESTIMATE | 1 in 12 packs | Pepper0ni TTS-PTCG-Pack-Simulator pull-rate wiki, measured ME05 rare-slot data (n=5,311-8,751 packs): 1/12.27; corroborated by TCGPlayer's 4,000+ pack count via Cardrake (1 in 12 packs) |
| Special Illustration Rare COMMUNITY ESTIMATE | 1 in 79 packs | Pepper0ni TTS-PTCG-Pack-Simulator pull-rate wiki, measured ME05 IR-slot data (n=8,751 packs): 1/78.84; TCGTalk's smaller 753-pack study found ~1 SIR per 3-4 boxes (~1 in 126 packs) |
| Mega Hyper Rare (gold) COMMUNITY ESTIMATE | 1 in 1,094 packs | Pepper0ni TTS-PTCG-Pack-Simulator pull-rate wiki, measured ME05 IR-slot data (n=8,751 packs): 1/1093.9; alternative estimate from non-sport.cards citing SamuraiWordTokyo Japanese Abyss Eye data: ~1 in 45 boxes (~1 in 1,620 packs) |
Box price: TCGplayer Seller blog, 'Top Selling Sealed Products: August 2026' — Pitch Black Booster Box average product value $179.03 (article notes boxes 'stabilized around $190', above ~$160 MSRP; retail/eBay listings ranged $180–$396 in the same window)
Chase notes: Chase cards: Mega Darkrai ex Special Illustration Rare #116 (illustrated by Akira Egawa, ~$409 market, early Sept 2026) and the gold Mega Hyper Rare Mega Darkrai ex #120 (~$498) — the two most expensive cards in the set per TCGTalk/Cardrake; Mega Zeraora ex SIR also a strong chase. Mega Attack Rare is NOT a tier in Pitch Black — it debuted in the Ascended Heroes special set and has no slot in ME05's official rarity legend. Pitch Black (released 2026-07-17) is the current English flagship booster set; next main set Mega Evolution — Delta Reign releases 2026-11-06.
Bandai · The World's Strongest Warriors (OP-17) · 24 packs/box × 12 cards/pack · Box snapshot: $334.67
| Premium tier | Per-pack rate | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Super Rare COMMUNITY ESTIMATE | 1 in 3.4 packs | No OP-17-specific aggregate published (set released Aug 28, 2026); estimate derived from OP-16 community data: TeamFunFamily YouTube OP-16 box-vs-blister comparison (6–7 SR, usually 7 per 24-pack box); retailer Danireon states 7–9 SR per box average across One Piece sets. Figure = 7/24 packs. |
| Secret Rare COMMUNITY ESTIMATE | unknown (OP-16 community data: 0–1 per box) | No OP-17-specific aggregate published; closest community data: TeamFunFamily YouTube OP-16 box-vs-blister comparison (0–1 SEC per 24-pack box). Per-pack rate left unknown rather than guessing the underlying average. |
| Alt-Art / Special (parallel) cards COMMUNITY ESTIMATE | 1 in 9.6 packs | No OP-17-specific aggregate published; estimate derived from OP-16 community data: TeamFunFamily YouTube (~2–3 alt-art/special hits per 24-pack box); Danireon states each One Piece box is guaranteed at least one alt-art OR secret rare. Figure = 2.5/24 packs. |
| Treasure Rare COMMUNITY ESTIMATE | unknown | unknown — Bandai publishes no rates, and no reliable community aggregate found for Treasure Rare. Set contains a single TR type (OP17-033 Lucky Roux); retailers market it as 'the ultimate box chase pull' (GodpackGames.ca). |
| Manga Rare COMMUNITY ESTIMATE | 1 in 288 packs | TCGKing.nl: 'usually see around one Manga Rare card per sealed case of 12 booster boxes, or roughly one hit in about 288 booster packs'; CollectorStation.com: 'On average, you'll find one Manga Rare per sealed case (12 booster boxes), which works out to roughly 1 in 288 booster packs.' Historical community average cited alongside sets up to OP17. |
| Super Parallel Manga Leader (Luffy OP17-079) COMMUNITY ESTIMATE | unknown | unknown — first-ever Manga Leader in the game; no reliable community rate found for this new top-tier slot. |
Box price: PriceCharting market price for OP-17 English booster box (TCGplayer ID 704752) — 29 completed eBay/TCGplayer sales at ~1/day through Sep 2026, Sep 2026 snapshot. Note: a TCGplayer Direct listing on tcgplayer.com showed $83.00 at crawl, an outlier likely a different SKU; actual completed TCGplayer sales cluster $320–$335.
Chase notes: Chase cards: Rocks D. Xebec alt-art Secret Rare OP17-118 (~$6,410 listed on TCG Corner), the first-ever Manga Leader Monkey D. Luffy OP17-079 (expected face of the set), Lucky Roux Treasure Rare OP17-033, four Yonko Manga Rares (Shanks OP17-022, Whitebeard, Kaido, Big Mom), and the Loki Secret Rare OP17-119. Set config: English 12 cards/pack (Japanese 6 cards/pack), 24 packs/box, 12 boxes/case; released worldwide Aug 28, 2026 (first simultaneous EN/JP launch). No official (Bandai-published) rates exist for any tier — Bandai has never published One Piece pull rates.

Konami publishes no pull rates, so all tiers are unknown until box-opening data exists.
Ravensburger · Attack of the Vine (13) · 24 packs/box × 12 cards/pack · Box snapshot: $213.53
| Premium tier | Per-pack rate | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Iconic COMMUNITY ESTIMATE | 1 in 96 packs (estimate) | tcgtalk Attack of the Vine pull-rates guide: 0 observed in 230 packs; community estimate ~1 per 4-box case (speculative) |
| Enchanted COMMUNITY ESTIMATE | 1 in 33 packs | tcgtalk 230-pack sample (July 2026): 6 pulls, ~0.7 per box (~1 in 1-2 boxes); prior-set community consensus was ~1 in 72-96 packs |

Box price: TCGplayer market price $213.53 for Attack of the Vine booster box (Sept 2026 marketplace snapshot, via shonentcg); MSRP $143.76 — street price holding ~$200+ as supply remains tight
Chase notes: Top chase: Iconic Belle & Beast - Certain as the Sun (~$3,500) and Lilo & Stitch - Fun-Loving Friends (~$2,000); top Enchanted is Winnie the Pooh & Piglet - Hunny Mages (~$1,200) — launch-week prices, verify current. Set 14 'Hyperia City' (Coco) arrives Oct 23, 2026, so Attack of the Vine is the current flagship as of Sept 25.
Riot Games · Vendetta (VEN) · 24 packs/box × 14 cards/pack · Box snapshot: $160.00
| Premium tier | Per-pack rate | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Epic OFFICIAL | 1 in 4 packs | UVS Games / Riot official Vendetta product copy: 'On average, with more than 6 Epic rarity cards appearing in each box' (24-pack box -> ~1 in 4 packs) |
| Alternate Art (Showcase in Vendetta) OFFICIAL | 1 in 12 packs | UVS Games / Riot official Vendetta product copy: 'more than 2 special alt-art cards appearing in each box' (24-pack box -> ~1 in 12 packs) |

Bandai · Freedom Ascension (GD05) · 24 packs/box × 13 cards/pack · Box snapshot: $199.99
| Premium tier | Per-pack rate | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Legend Rare (LR) unknown | unknown | unknown — Bandai publishes no pack odds; no reliable aggregated opening data found for GD05 |
| Link Rare (new GD05 pairing rarity: unit+pilot parallel cards) unknown | unknown | unknown — community rumor only (YouTube box-opening description: 'minimum 2 Link Rares, maximum 6 per box' — unverified), no Bandai-published odds |
| Special / SP (8 Pilot SP + 8 SP EX Resource cards) unknown | unknown | unknown — community rumor only (YouTube box-opening description: 'SPs only 3 per case' — unverified), no Bandai-published odds |
| LR++ (record-high 5 types in GD05; ultra-chase gold treatment) unknown | unknown | unknown — no Bandai-published odds; one creator's anecdote of first-ever LR++ pull from a sealed GD05 case after case breaks since GD01 suggests rarer than 1/case, but this is a single anecdote, not data |
Box price: Miniature Market US retail $199.99 (listing live Oct 1, 2026; stock status not confirmable via text fetch); TCGplayer August 2026 average product value $170.92 is now stale; chase-singles demand supporting the rise — Strike Freedom LR++ sold $2,300–$2,660 on TCGplayer/eBay in Sep 2026. Up materially from the Sep 28 snapshot ($170.92).
Chase notes: Box is 24 packs of 13 (12 cards + 1 token/resource). Rarity counts per official product copy: 50 Common, 36 Uncommon, 32 Rare, 12 Legend Rare, 8 Special, 8 Special EX Resource, 2 Token — 138+10 types with 65 alt-arts. Undisputed chase: Strike Freedom Gundam GD05-002 LR++ (eBay sold $2,600–$3,000 Aug 2026). For rough scale only: GD01's 2 LR++ chases were ~1 in 2 full cases per TheGamer (Aug 2025) — but GD01-to-GD05 rate continuity is not established and GD05 expanded LR++ from 2 to 5 types.
Bandai · Brightness of Hope (FB11) · 24 packs/box × 12 cards/pack · Box snapshot: $399.99
| Premium tier | Per-pack rate | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Super Rare (SR) unknown | unknown | no reliable data |
| Super Rare Alt-Art (SR★) unknown | unknown | no reliable data |
| Secret Rare (SCR) unknown | unknown | no reliable data |
| Secret Rare SUPER Alt-Art (SCR★★) unknown | unknown | no reliable data |
Box price: eBay Buy-It-Now presale listings tracked by PicClick, Sept 2026 (e.g. 'Dragon Ball Fusion World Brightness of Hope FB11 Booster Box - Preorder' at $399.99; US listing 'Ships 10/16' at $380.00). English release landed Oct 16, 2026, but no post-release street snapshot has been verified yet — this remains the last presale snapshot, not settled secondary-market value; re-snapshot pending.
Chase notes: FB11 set breakdown (via ToyWiz English listing): Leader x5, Common x40, Uncommon x35, Rare x25, Super Rare x15, Secret Rare x3, 123 types total; Bandai product text confirms every SCR in FB11 gets a SUPER Alt-Art version (★★). Chase card: Son Goku FB11-121 — the SUPER Alt-Art SCR★★ variant tracked ~$1,000.77 on dbscouter (Sept 24, 2026), versus ~$115.92 for the alt-art SCR★ and ~$12.22 for the base SCR. Bandai does not publish pull rates — retailer listings carry the standard 'Cards are randomly enclosed' disclaimer and no verifiable per-pack pull-rate numbers from box-opening aggregates were found, so all tiers are marked unknown rather than guessed. Box price is provisional (last presale snapshot); English boxes released Oct 16, 2026 and a post-release street re-snapshot is pending.

Bandai publishes no pull rates, so all tiers are unknown until community box data exists; monthly refresh will backfill.
Legend Story Studios · Usurp the Shadow Throne (IAR) · 24 packs/box × 16 cards/pack · Box snapshot: $99.00

Box price: Post-release street ~$95–102 (eBay US in-stock Buy-It-Now listings, Oct 1, 2026); LSS MSRP $129.90 / US policy price $104.90 (fabtcg.com). Presale flag removed — set released Sep 25, 2026 and the price has settled below the $114.01 presale snapshot.
Chase notes: Set composition: 2 Fabled, 27 Marvel, 5 Legendary, 40 Majestic (20 Core + 20 Expansion), 66 Rare, 133 Common, 16 Basic. LSS publishes only slot-level collation for IAR (11 commons, 1 rainbow foil, 1 rare + 1 rare-or-majestic, 2 basics — the second basic slot can be Legendary, Marvel, or Fabled). Chase cards: Viserai, the Forsaken -> Viserai, Usurper (the game's first dual-face hero, Shadow Runeblade headliner) and the set's two Fabled cards — the first FaB set ever with two Fabled (per Star City Games). Set released Sept 25, 2026 — community case-break aggregates for IAR effectively don't exist yet; box price is now a post-release street snapshot (~$95–102, down from the $114 presale).
On current sales evidence: Star Wars Unlimited, Union Arena, Cardfight!! Vanguard, Weiss Schwarz, and Sorcery: Contested Realm. The ranking is re-checked as new marketplace data lands.
Top 10 chosen from hard sales evidence, not opinion. Primary source: TCGplayer seller blog 'Best-Selling Trading Card Games, Q2 2026' (marketplace GMV, singles + sealed, Apr 1–Jun 30 2026): 1) Magic: The Gathering, 2) Pokemon, 3) One Piece Card Game, 4) Yu-Gi-Oh!, 5) Disney Lorcana, 6) Riftbound, 7) Pokemon Japan, 8) Gundam Card Game, 9) Dragon Ball Super Fusion World, 10) Digimon Card Game. 'Pokemon Japan' (rank 7) was merged into Pokemon TCG as the same game, leaving 9 distinct games. The 10th slot went to Flesh and Blood, ranked #6 by hobby activity in the Collectr 'State of the TCG Hobby 2026 Mid-Year Report' with a durable organized-play scene. Cross-checked against the Collectr report (Pokemon 65% of tracked activity, One Piece 17%, Yu-Gi-Oh! resurgent at 7%, MTG/Lorcana/FaB rounding out). Star Wars Unlimited, Union Arena, Cardfight!! Vanguard, Weiss Schwarz, and Sorcery: Contested Realm did not make the cut on current sales evidence. Pull rates: official publisher-published rates are rare — only Wizards of the Coast (MTG pack-content bounds), Riot/UVS (Riftbound box averages), and Legend Story Studios (FaB slot collation) publish anything; every other figure is a community estimate with its source, and tiers with no reliable data are marked 'unknown' rather than estimated. Box prices are September 2026 USD street snapshots (TCGplayer market price where accessible, otherwise verified in-stock US retail); presale prices are flagged as provisional.
Key honesty rule: almost nobody publishes official pull rates — only Wizards of the Coast (Magic), Riot/UVS (Riftbound) and Legend Story Studios (Flesh and Blood) publish anything at all. Every other number is a community estimate from box-opening reports, labeled as such. Tiers with no reliable data say unknown — we'd rather show a gap than invent a number. Box prices are October 2026 USD street snapshots; presale prices are flagged as provisional.
