SAVE $11.99: As of Sept. 23, the Pokémon TCG White Flare Booster Bundle is $46.90 at TCGplayer, compared to $58.99 at Amazon.
The year is 2025, and despite constant Pokémon TCG restocks in big box stores, they’re still charging over MSRP and market value (we’re looking at you, Amazon). Every now and then there’s a solid deal, but it’s few and far between.
Luckily, we have TCGplayer. The White Flare booster bundle is currently $11.99 less at $46.90. That’s $2 under it’s current secondary market value and a lot cheaper than Amazons premium $58.99 price tag. Considering they had the same product in stock for around $45 recently, it’s not a good look.
Booster bundles are simple, six booster packs and all the chances to pull illustration rares, Pokéball rares, Masterball rares, Secret Art rares, and the ever-illusive Black White rares. Like every other Scarlet and Violet set, Secret Art rares are demanding the biggest prices, but Black White rare variants of Reshiram ex, Victini ex and Zekrom ex are on another level. We’re talking over $300 value for these cards right now, scroll down to get current pricing.
The big sell with Black Bolt and White Flare is every Unovan Pokémon showing their face, all with their own Illustration rare or Secret Art rare variant. Whilst pulling together a master set is a mammoth task when you also include Pokéball and Masterball rares, this set is giant.

It’s also the start of Pokémon TCG releasing sets in two halves, which has also continued through to the next era of Pokémon TCG, Mega Evolution and it’s first expansion Phantasmal Flames. This means bigger sets, more promos, and more to collect without any fluff. Western Pokémon TCG makes up its sets from Japanese Pokémon card sets, whether that’s combining smaller sets or just carbon copying a giant set into English.
