VSTAR Universe (Japanese High Class Pack)

Art Rares and Special Art Rares, the full-illustration rarities that now drive modern collecting, made their debut here in December 2022. The set closed out Sword & Shield by reprinting many favorite cards of the era with special artwork. Its cards reached English in Crown Zenith in January 2023, but Crown Zenith packs were sold only inside larger products, never as a standalone booster box. The Japanese version comes as a box of 10-card packs, which suits anyone who wants to open the set rather than buy bundles.
