It's the seasonal follow-up to Halloween's Trick or Trade format - the cards inside haven't been revealed yet, and whether they carry a special seasonal stamp like Trick or Trade's is still unconfirmed.
Price situation - read before buying
The announced retail price is $14.99 per distributor listings. GameStop's own product page shows $39.99 ($37.99 for Pro members) - a significant markup over MSRP, and it's marked as not a GameStop exclusive, meaning other retailers will carry it too. If you're buying for the cards rather than the novelty, check mass-market retailers closer to the January 15 street date before paying GameStop's price.
Is it worth it?
For kids' classroom valentines: this is the entire point of the product and it's genuinely clever - 20 packs cover a whole class, the mailbox gimmick lands, and at $14.99 MSRP it's cheaper than a pile of cards and a craft project. For collectors: wait for the card list - if the Collect & Share packs are themed reprints like Trick or Trade, individual cards tend to be low-value commons with a seasonal stamp. For sealed collectors: seasonal Pokemon products have held value historically, but paying GameStop's $39.99 eats most of that margin.
