Why are tag team era packs so expensive?

So in 2018 you could buy pretty much every single booster pack from 2015 onwards for the same price as those that were just coming out. The standard $5-6 Aud and booster boxes were the same as well.

I left the hobby in 2018 and came back just recently. Booster packs of cards that came out in 2018-2019 are now all $8-$14 each and booster boxes of something like unified minds is going for like $260 or more. Whilst the sword and shield era booster boxes are going for $180.

I’m curious as to what’s changed? Was there just not really reprints of these sets? More demand?

I would like to know as well.

They have fantastic art. There are so many high value Hyper rares as well and they are hard to pull.
I paid $50-150 for some of the team up hyper rares.

The Tag team cards were a great idea and I really like the artwork on them. Not really related, just saying XD
The question is, will tag team cards come back in the future? or was this a one and done.

Highly desirable cards. Not just the ultra rares but even the normal GXs. Also I think they limited prints runs a bit more, look at unbroken bonds
