NOW AT MARKET VALUE: As of Nov. 5, the Pokémon TCG White Flare Booster Bundle is $51.35 at Amazon, which is the going rate and market value compared to TCGplayer.
Mega Evolution boosters and Phantasmal Flames preorders are on fire right now, with every trainer and their Houndoom scrambling to get hold of sealed product. For me, this is a great time to look at older sets to find some solid deals. So scoring White Flare Booster Bundles at market value on Amazon is exactly what I'm talking about.
These go for a dollar or two less at TCGplayer, but that little extra to have it in your hands tomorrow thanks to Prime delivery is well worth it. Either way, it's a good deal, costing $8.56 per booster pack on Amazon.
White Flare is the other half of Black Bolt, the massive two-part expansion that capped off the Scarlet and Violet Pokémon TCG era. Every Pokémon found in Unova has either an Illustration Rare, Secret Illustration Rare, or Black and White Rare. The latter features Reshiram ex, Zekrom ex, and Two Victini Exs for each half of Black Bolt and White Flare. Long story short, it's a pain to master set, but an absolute joy to rip open.
Most valuable Black Bolt and White Flare Pokémon cards
The problem with Black Bolt and White Flare is getting chase cards, with the higher end SIRs and Black White Rares next to impossible to find amongst all of the Illustration, Pokéball, and Masterball rares. If you're after specific cards and high-end chase cards, it'll likely save money just buying up single cards.
