The detail that distinguishes this release

This is the second dated English expansion in this cohort, following the September opening release. Its smaller official-count field does not establish lower pull odds or fewer physical variants; those are different measurements.

What the two counts actually answer

The difference between 130 total and 94 official-count entries is 36. That arithmetic describes these provider fields, not a guaranteed number of secret rares or a pull-rate estimate. “Official count” is the API field name; it is not an independent statement that the publisher has audited this catalog. A completion target can mean one of each numbered entry, every additional-number entry, or all verified physical finishes. Those are different projects. Write the target above the checklist before comparing progress.

Identify a copy without relying on the product title

Record English, the Phantasmal Flames set name and the exact local collector number before matching a listing. Store me02 as the provider namespace, not as an assumed printed code. Then describe the actual finish, stamp, condition and product origin. Two listings can share a species name and set title while offering materially different copies. A photograph may help a buyer inspect an item, but this reference deliberately does not reproduce scans or claim authentication.

Release sequence is not a cross-region mapping

This is position 2 in the dated eight-release Mega-era cohort. The date 2025-11-14 comes from the English product schedule, while counts come from a separate metadata source. A Japanese release can supply related cards without matching the complete English checklist. Compare actual card identities and product evidence, and preserve an unresolved counterpart as unresolved.

Use the page before spending, not as a price signal

Set a scope, inventory what is actually missing, and compare exact-print completed transactions with shipping, fees and condition included. A large total does not predict scarcity, appreciation or the cheapest route to completion. There is no live valuation, pack-odds calculation, active affiliate link or promised master-set inventory here.
