How this list is built
Every Sword & Shield set on TCGplayer is pulled each month, and each card printing with a Near Mint market price is ranked. TCGplayer's market price comes from recent sales, not asking prices. Each printing counts on its own, sealed product is left out, and a card with no recent Near Mint sale has no market price, so it cannot appear. See every era or read how prices are cleaned.
