Pokémon — Islands Await You (SM2K) Sealed Booster Box, Japanese

A sealed booster box of the Japanese expansion Islands Await You (キミを待つ島々), published on 17 March 2017 and one of the defining sets of the opening phase of the Sun & Moon era. Together with its companion release, it formed one half of what the international market knows as Guardians Rising.

The set is prized for the GX cards that shaped the competitive landscape of the period — Tapu Lele GX above all, a card that dominated play and still anchors demand — alongside Lycanroc GX, Metagross GX and Wishiwashi GX. The Trainer card Aqua Patch and the Mallow Full Art complete the short list of what collectors look for inside these packs.

The box contains thirty sealed packs of five cards each, for one hundred and fifty cards in total, and still carries its original Pokémon Japan seal. Never opened, it preserves the whole of that content untouched — the reason sealed Japanese boxes of the Sun & Moon era have become progressively harder to source as the print run recedes into the past.
