£8.95 makes the mini tin the cheapest sealed 30th Celebration product that is not a loose pack. Mini tins are small by design and this one is no exception, so the appeal is the price and the tin rather than any serious chance at the set's better cards. The packs inside follow the set's format: six cards, all foil, one Pikachu apiece from the thirty printed variants. Because every card in the set is foil, even a couple of packs from a mini tin looks considerably better spread out than the equivalent from a normal set, which matters if the buyer is a child rather than an investor. These are also the products most likely to still be sitting on a shelf weeks after release, since the attention goes to the ex boxes and the Ultra Premium Collections. A reasonable first purchase for a younger collector, and cheap enough to buy two.
