The Trading Card Breakdown features a typical Pokémon card with annotations, similar to those found in rulebooks, and atype guide.

Spring 2020 Collector Chest
The first iteration in the Collector Chest product line for the Sword & Shield Series was released on April 3, 2020. It included Holofoil variants ofGrookey,Scorbunny, andSobble fromSword & Shield, acoin featuring the trio, a notepad, a mini portfolio, five booster packs, and aTCGO code card. This was the first Collector Chest not to include a set of pencils, which were replaced by two sticker sheets for a total of four. Initial releases of the chest included twoSword & Shield packs, oneCosmic Eclipse pack, oneBurning Shadows pack, oneEvolutions pack, and a Silver Rainbow Holofoil coin. Later shipments from around December 2020 substituted the Silver Rainbow Holofoil coin for a Silver Starlight Holofoil one and replaced the Cosmic Eclipse pack with one from an earlier Sun & Moon Series expansion. Possible packs includedCrimson Invasion,Ultra Prism, orUnified Minds.
TheGalar Pals Mini Tins were a continuation of the mini tin product line that launched in the Sun & Moon Series. The first quintet of the Sword & Shield Series, and the third overall, was released on April 3, 2020 and collectively featured aNaoki Saito illustration of Pokémon native to theGalar region. Each tin contained two booster packs, acoin, and an art card. The front of the art card features the same illustration segment as the tin it came in, while the reverse features thePokédex entry of the tin's focal Pokémon. Different coin designs and selections of booster packs could be found in the tins depending on when they were packaged—production codes on the tins provided a rough indication of their contents. Tins released on April 3 could have one of two codes, "K19" or "A20", and could include one pack each ofEvolutions andSword & Shield or one pack each ofBurning Shadows and Sword & Shield. Tins released later in 2020 featured the production code "D20" and typically included one pack each ofSun & Moon and Sword & Shield.
