Sword & Shield—Fusion Strike is out of print — what happened to box prices

Updated September 24, 2026 · View the data as JSON

A sealed Sword & Shield—Fusion Strike booster box currently trades around $968.02. The set was confirmed out of print 40 months ago, on June 1, 2023.

The timeline

Sword & Shield—Fusion Strike spent roughly 19 months in print before distribution dried up. Across the sets we track, the repricing that follows an out-of-print confirmation does not happen immediately — it typically lands in months 6–9, after the last discounted retail inventory clears.

This set is 40 months past confirmation, well beyond that 6-month accumulation window. Whatever repricing was going to happen has most likely already happened — the current $968.02 is closer to a settled price than an early entry.
