Pokemon base set booster box unlimited price?

What is so special about this box that is $10,100? www.ebay.com/itm/Factory-sealed-Pokemon-1999-Base-Set-Booster-Box-WOTC-English-Free-Shipping-/112569826291?hash=item1a35af3bf3%3Ag%3A~jEAAOSwcqBZwXxM&nma=true&si=bSkUfPxJw3xHEgPfFTm7rQFxSzA%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

I’ve been perusing sold listings of the base unlimited box that it appears that are just a bit over $2,000. What is so special about that $10k one?

If you read the q&a at the bottom of the description the sell says it’s a normal Unl box. The country codes on the bottom are different though.

Very surprising final price!

It’s a “Made in U.S.A” box that has distributor information for US, CAN, Asia and Latin America only. Most unlimited boxes have distributor information for all countries listed. It’s a very rare variant… I think it was one that @thecharizardauthorty was missing from his collection, but maybe he’s added one since his last collection update.

You can read a little bit about it in my booster box identity article (I’m still working on a few sections in the post. There’s lots more information that will be added once I have some free time :blush: )

Yes this booster box contains 1999-2000 booster packs, made in USA instead of made in UK (which is the more common version.)

I have this booster box in my collection. To the second highest bidder, please contact me :blush:

If that box gets paid for anywhere near that final price then people really enjoy lighting money on fire far more than I previously thought.

Am i the only person who does not give a rats ass about 1999-2000 base set cards? So overrated and overhyped in my opinion.

I feel the opposite.

For a set that’s arguably as rare as base 1st edition I’m surprised at how undervalued the cards are (especially the holos).
