Japanese Expedition (Base Expansion Pack): Booster Box vs Booster Pack
The Japanese Base Expansion Pack launched the e-Card series in 2001 and was localized in English as Expedition Base Set in 2002. That makes the Japanese product the earlier printing of the era. We list both a sealed box and single packs — very different purchases, compared below.

Weight labels
Heavy, Light and Unsearched are EACollectibles’ own weight classifications, not manufacturer categories: Heavy means expected to contain a holo or better, Light means unlikely to, and Unsearched means not weighed or sorted. No label can promise a specific card. The listings refer to a Heavy Pack Policy that isn’t published as a page yet, so ask for its written terms before paying for a Heavy pack.
Checks before you buy
- Ask for exact-item photos — the listings show stock photos.
- For packs, check that both crimps are even and flat with no signs of re-sealing.
- Confirm the exact option you select (edition, weight label, pack art) is the one that will ship.
- Compare prices only with the same Japanese set and edition; English and Japanese markets are priced separately.
