The products
Decipher sold the game in three shapes, and a fourth thing came free.
- Booster pack — eleven cards and one decal sheet, $1.99 at retail. Roughly one pack in eight holds an Xtra-Rare foil.
- Booster box — thirty packs. Decipher’s own price is not recorded; in August 2026 the close-out dealer asks $39.99 for a sealed box, and boxes on eBay have sold between about $65 and $100 in recent years.
- Starter Deck #1 and Starter Deck #2 — sixty cards each, $8.99, with a rulebook, a playmat and five foils that never appear in boosters. The two decks are told apart by the colour of the banner on the box: teal for deck one, orange for deck two. The product codes are DEG104256-1 and DEG104256-2.
- Decal sheets — a series of forty-five, one per booster. A collectible in its own right; PSA does not grade them.
The foils, and where they come from
There are twenty-two foils in the base set, and they split by where you can find them.
The twelve Xtra-Rares come from boosters, at roughly one per eight packs. The ten Starter Deck Premiums come only from starter decks — five per deck, fixed, never pulled from a pack. Other checklists call these “fixed” or “starter exclusive” foils; the name on the box is Starter Deck Premium. Which five ship in deck one and which five in deck two is a question we will answer by opening both and logging it.
The fourteen promos, numbered #131 to #144, are foil as well. They were handed out through retail promotions, leagues and tournaments rather than sold, and they are the hardest part of the set to complete.
The foils matter beyond rarity: the entire PSA census, bar one common, is made of them.
Condition, twenty-three years on
These are early-2000s foils, and they behave like it. Three things to look at before anything else:
- Centering. Decipher’s print runs were not tight. Cards with even borders on all four sides are the minority.
- Foil curl. Holographic cards from this era bow with humidity. A curled card is not damaged, but it will not sit flat in a holder, and grading companies notice.
- Surface. Pack-fresh cards can carry print lines and light scratches from the packing. Sleeve them the day you open them.
Store cards in sleeves inside a rigid holder, away from sunlight, in a room that does not swing between damp and dry.
Grading from Canada
PSA is the only company that has ever graded this game — 26 slabs as of 30 August 2026, all PSA. It accepts the 130-card base set; it does not currently accept the fourteen promos, which is why their population is locked at zero.
PSA opened a Canadian grading centre in Mississauga in November 2025. Cards go in through partner shops and card shows, are priced in Canadian dollars and do not cross a customs border. The economical tiers have been paused since 2 June 2026 because of backlog; the cheapest open service in late August 2026 is C$109 a card, and the bulk tier, when it reopens, was last priced at C$34.99 a card with a twenty-card minimum and a club membership.
Set expectations honestly. Across vintage submissions, about one card in ten comes back a 10. Carefully pre-screened, pack-fresh cards do better; early-2000s foils do worse. For this set a 9 is the expected result — and in a 26-slab universe, a 9 is usually the only one.
Where product still exists (August 2026)
- The original close-out dealer lists sealed boxes at $39.99, starter decks at $8.99, packs at $1.99 and singles from $0.10 to $5.88, and has shipped for years.
- On eBay, sealed boxes appear a few at a time and loose packs by the dozen; the whole visible supply in late August 2026 was roughly three boxes and a hundred packs.
- Distributors no longer carry it.
We will not tell you what any of that will be worth. We will tell you what has actually sold: in the whole public record there has been exactly one graded sale, and the census carries it with its date, its grade and its certificate number.
What exists graded
The census counts every PSA slab of the game, card by card and dated, and records the single public graded sale the whole game has had.
