About パラダイムトリガー (Sword & Shield series, S12)

パラダイムトリガー (Sword & Shield series, S12) numbers 98 cards on its printed run, and CardTrack's Japanese catalogue holds 125 in total: the extra 27 are secret rares whose collector numbers sit above 98. The set covers 84 different Pokémon. By rarity the cards split into 8 tiers: Common (44), Uncommon (32), Super Rare (16), Rare (10), Hyper Rare (8), Double Rare (8), Triple Rare (4) and Ultra Rare (3).

The tracked cards add up to about $773, and the 5 most valuable of them carry 80% of that. The most valuable card is the Lugia (ルギアV) #110/098 at $512.50 raw, around $1,099 in PSA 10, while the median card is worth about $0.35. 45 cards carry a PSA 10 price; across the cards with both figures, a PSA 10 copy sells for about 19.2× the raw price at the median.

74 illustrators are credited across the set, led by N-DESIGN Inc. (8), PLANETA Mochizuki (5) and 5ban Graphics (4). Raw prices are CardTrack's near-mint figure for the Japanese printing; graded ladders come from CardTrack's graded-price feed, and 52 of the 125 cards have completed eBay sales behind them. Cards with a graded ladder but no raw price are shown at their PSA 10 value so they still sort. CardTrack also tracks 2 sealed products for this set, led by the Paradigm Trigger Booster Box at about $135.69.
