Gone are the days of $200+ Black Bolt and White Flare Elite Trainer Boxes, and it looks like Amazon is finally paying attention to all the secondary market undercuts on TCGPlayer. I've got two banger deals for you today, with the Black Bolt ETB coming in under market value at $84.95, with White Flare coming in at market value at $82.84 once you factor in shipping.
Black Bolt Elite Trainer Box
Home to Zekrom ex and Victini ex Black White Rares, Black Bolt has always been the most expensive of the two. Other chase card highlights from this half of the set include the standard Zekrom ex SIR, Seismitoad SIR, Kyurem ex SIR, Genesect ex SIR and Meloetta ex SIR. The ETB also includes the usually 65-card sleeves, dice, tournament legal coin, status markers, dividers, storage box and the epic Thundurus Illustration Rare Promo.
White Flare Elite Trainer Box
There's also a Victini ex Black White Rare for White Flare too, alongside Reshiram ex Black White Rare. It's usually a bigger gap between the value of White Flare and Black Bolt, but it's quickly catching up thanks to its chase cards surging in popularity. Look forward to having a chance of pulling the regular Reshiram ex SIR, Hydreigon ex SIR, Keldeo ex SIR, Zoroark SIR and Oshawaott IR. You'll also snag Tornadus IR Promo with the White Flare ETB, so plenty to go at.
The Best Chase Cards From Black Bolt and White Flare
If you're looking to just rip packs and find valuable chase cards, it's probably going to save you money just buying the cards. You could be insanely lucky and pull a Black White Rare with just one Elite Trainer Box, and i'd be super jellous, but it's very unlikely.
