Pokemon Vstar Universe - Japanese

Overview

VSTAR Universe continues to hold strong as one of Japan’s most collectible modern Pokémon sets. With God Packs—sealed-case-only boosters packed with 10 secret art rares—and key chase cards like Pikachu (PSA 10: £250+), this set offers explosive flipping potential. Even after restocks, the box holds a strong resale baseline due to its artwork quality, scarcity, and high-value pulls.

How the Flip Played Out

Early 2023 saw VSTAR Universe peaking at £150–£200+ on the secondary market.

After a July 2023 restock, prices cooled to £75, giving savvy buyers the perfect entry.

Discord highlighted the rare God Pack mechanic, spiking demand for sealed cases.

Set-only alt arts of Charizard, Mewtwo, and Pikachu became collector must-haves.

As inventory dried up again, prices stabilized around £175, with strong upside potential.

Final Thoughts

God Packs. Secret Art Rares. Japanese exclusivity. VSTAR Universe delivered everything flippers wanted — and with a price correction after restock, it created the perfect entry for smart resellers. It’s still one of the best sealed box flips in the Japanese TCG space.
