Release date, price, and box format
Presales were scheduled to start on October 13, 2026, through an EQL raffle with a price of $579.99. At the European Central Bank reference rate of 2026-10-20, that works out to roughly €517, an approximate figure.
The 2024 boxes, which held four autographs and two relics, first sold for $379.99, or about €339 at the same reference rate.
Each Hobby box contains a single pack of 10 cards and six autographs.
