How Much Does a Complete PSA 10 Expedition Set Cost? (2026): Every Holo Priced
On this page
A complete PSA 10 Expedition set costs $150,757 as of July 10, 2026 — the 27 tracked chase cards of the first e-Reader set, priced at gem-mint fair market value from real eBay and Fanatics sold comps. There is no 1st Edition column on this page, because no 1st Edition Expedition exists: one printing, one price per card. The rest of the page is the itemized bill — what every holo costs in PSA 10, which 9 holos have no verified gem comp at all, and why the freshly verified sales at the top of the bill — a $55,200 Dragonite, a $9,600 Alakazam — make this the most under-discovered gem market of the WOTC era.
The total is computed live by our Expedition market index and moves with every verified sale — this article re-prices monthly. It is one chapter of the full WOTC set-cost guide, and its population twin is the Expedition pop report.
How Much Does a Complete PSA 10 Expedition Set Cost?
$150,757. That covers the 27Expedition cards our index tracks with live comps — the holo chase run of the set that introduced e-Reader bars and split-frame art in 2002. It is not a static estimate, and in Expedition's case it is not a calm one either. Here is the same basket over the last six months:
The basket fell from $135,491 in April to $85,896 in May, then climbed back to $150,757by July. Nothing about the cards changed — that whipsaw is what price discovery looks like when an entire set's gem market rests on 62 lifetime PSA 10 comps across 22 priced holos. One thin sale re-prices a card; one card moves the set. The population side of that story — why the comps are so thin — is the Expedition pop report.
What Does Every Expedition Holo Cost in PSA 10?
The itemized bill, every tracked holo, single printing. Every card links to its live price page; the footer row sums the most recent verified PSA 10 comp for each card. A dash means no verified PSA 10 comp exists in the archive — 9 holos (Arbok, Blastoise, Dugtrio, Mew, Mewtwo, Poliwrath, Raichu, Typhlosion, Vileplume) have never crossed the tape in gem mint in our data. Those are real gaps in the market, not gaps in the data, and they mean the true complete-set number is higher than the footer total.

One honest caveat baked into that table: the footer ($121,286) sums last verified sales, and in a market this thin many of those cells rest on a single transaction — which is why the live index prices the same basket at $150,757. Every gem price on this page has been title-verified against the actual holo (Expedition prints most Pokémon twice, holo and non-holo, and mixed comps are how bad prices happen). Treat every cell as "last verified comp," not "what you'd pay tomorrow."
Why Do Some Expedition Holos Show No PSA 10 Price?
Because 9 of the 31 tracked holos have never recorded a verified PSA 10 sale — including the pop-15 Poliwrath #24 and the Mew #19. For those cards the PSA 9 column is the only live market, and it is a floor, not a substitute: a PSA 10 of the same card always prices above its 9, so when one of these ghosts finally surfaces at auction, expect discovery, not a discount.
The freshly verified sales show how violent that discovery is. Dragonite #9's 9s trade around $1,300; its verified PSA 10 sale printed $55,200in April 2026 — over 40 times the 9. Alakazam #1's 9s sit near $569; its gem printed $9,600 in March. That is what a one-or-two-comps-ever market does when real supply meets real demand. The PSA 9 vs PSA 10 guide covers the normal version of this ratio; Expedition is the extreme exhibit — and the reason the $150,757 index number is best read as a moving estimate of a market still finding its prices.
How Much of the Cost Is the Expedition Charizard?
Only 13% — because the Charizard is not the most expensive card in this set. The verified $55,200 Dragonite #9 gem sale (April 2026) makes Dragonite the biggest line on the bill at 37%, with the $19,500 Charizard #6 second. The top five (Dragonite, Charizard, Alakazam, Skarmory, Gengar) are 65% of the set combined — still far flatter than Base Set, where one Charizard alone is over 60%. Expedition's cost is spread across thin-pop holos that almost never surface, which makes the complete-set build less about one five-figure hurdle and more about hunting cards with one lifetime comp. Here is the marquee card, live:

View live data on CardboardSniper →The practical consequence: no single card gives you Expedition exposure. Even the Dragonite is only 37% of the bill — the completion risk lives in the long tail of holos that trade once a year, not in a grail.
How Much Does a PSA 9 Expedition Set Cost?
$11,253 for the tracked holo run in PSA 9 — but in Expedition the PSA 9 build is not the usual nine-tenths discount, it is the only liquid market the set has. Three caveats: Charizard #6 and Gengar #13 have no tracked 9 comp (the Charizard 9 is its own real expense), Blastoise #4 has no comp in either grade, and for the 9 holos with no gem sale on record, the 9 price is the only market quote that exists — read it as the floor for what a 10 would bring, never the ceiling. For any single card, the PSA 10 value calculator prices the gem premium against the 9.
What Is the Cheapest Way to Complete an Expedition Set?
Three builds, in ascending order of patience required:
- PSA 9 holo run — $11,253.The liquid build. You will actually find these cards for sale, and on the set's many gem-ghost holos the 9 is the only market there is. Budget separately for the Charizard and Gengar 9s our archive doesn't price yet.
- PSA 10 run at last-comp prices — $121,286+. The paper number.9holos have no gem comp to buy against at all — expect to set alerts, wait months per card, and treat each card's PSA 9 price as your floor bid, never your ceiling, when a 10 finally surfaces.
- The index-honest build — $150,757. What the live index says the full tracked basket is really worth as fresh sales re-price the thin rows. If you complete this set in gem mint, you own something with 62 lifetime comps of total market history — rarer as an achievement than most Base-era trophies. The Expedition investing guideranks every holo if you'd rather pick spots than complete.
Whichever build you pick, the live deal feed surfaces below-market graded Expedition inventory across Collector Crypt, Courtyard, and Phygitals — for a set this thin, aggregation across venues is the difference between finding a card this year and not.
Expedition Set Cost FAQ
How much does a complete PSA 10 Expedition set cost?
$150,757 as of July 10, 2026, across the 27 tracked chase cards, per the live Expedition index. Summing only each holo's last verified gem comp gives $121,286 — a floor, since 9 holos have no verified PSA 10 comp at all.
Does Expedition have 1st Edition cards?
No. Expedition — like every e-Series set (Expedition, Aquapolis, Skyridge) — had a single print run with no 1st Edition stamp. Any listing for a "1st Edition Expedition" card is mislabeled or fraudulent. Full detail in the Expedition pop report.
How much does a PSA 9 Expedition set cost?
$11,253 for the tracked holo run — and for 9 holos the 9 is the only grade with a live market at all, because no PSA 10 of those cards has ever crossed the tape in our archive.
What is the most expensive Expedition card?
The Dragonite #9 holo, whose verified PSA 10 sale printed $55,200 in April 2026 — ahead of the Charizard #6 at $19,500 (pop 45), then Alakazam #1 at $9,600. The set's rarest gem — the pop-15 Poliwrath #24 — has never sold in PSA 10 at all; its story is in the 50 rarest WOTC cards.
Keep the number live: the Expedition index re-prices this entire page daily, the WOTC set-cost guide puts all fifteen sets side by side, the WOTC pop report counts the gems behind every one of them, and the Expedition pop report counts how many of these gems exist at all — the answer is 443.
