A Magic booster box can cost anything from retail price to the price of a car, depending on the set, the box type and whether it is still in print. This page lists the dearest booster boxes, with TCGplayer's market price and the cheapest in-stock box we track in your market, rebuilt from our price data each time it is generated.
The 20 most expensive booster boxes
“Market” is TCGplayer's market price in US dollars. “Per pack” divides it by the pack count where our data has one. The last column is the cheapest in-stock box in the United States today, with how many stores have it.

Buying a box: what to check
- Check the box type in the name: collector, play, draft and set boxes of the same set are different products at different prices.
- Make sure it is the English product; stores list other languages too.
- Pre-orders lock a price but tie up money for weeks; compare them with the box's market price after release on its page here.
- Postage on a box is often large: compare delivered totals at checkout, not just the item price.
- Looking for the other end of the market? The cheapest booster boxes in stock are listed market by market.
