Mega Evolution has been dominating the Pokémon TCG landscape, with stock levels looking better than ever. Phantasmal Flames preorders haven’t been looking bad either, but regular stock remains to be seen when it releases Nov. 14. I’m still focused on the Scarlet and Violet era, which is a good job as I’ve found a great deal on the BLack Bolt Elite Trainer Box.
Right now, Amazon is selling it for below market value for $84.95, which is around $3 lower than TCGplayer’s current listings. It doesn’t sound like much, but it’s more money in your pocket and next-day delivery. Who can argue with what when other ETBs are soaring to over $100?
The Black Bolt ETB includes a Thundurus 209 Illustration Rare promo card, 65 Black Bolt-Themed sleeves, themed dice, and eight booster packs. With the box even serving as a great storage box for your cards. This ETB normally goes for around $95, meaning you’re paying $10.62 per booster pack instead of $11.88. Looking to rip open packs and find chase cards? These are the kind of deals collectors and trainers need to keep an eye out for.

Like I said, the only problem with this set is it’s size, making those top chase cards brutal to catch in sealed products. For some, that’s the fun and thrill of it all, but others just want to buy the single cards they’re after and likely save some money in the process. Here’s the top six right now and where you can buy them:
