SAVE $4.98: As of Sept. 25, the Pokémon TCG Black Bolt Binder Collection is priced at $50 on TCGplayer, in contrast to $55.94 on Amazon.

Black Bolt serves as a remarkable finale for the Scarlet and Violet era. It showcases chase cards valued at over $400, including Victini ex and Zekrom ex Black White Rares, slightly boosting the secondary market prices of Black Bolt beyond its counterpart, White Flare. When TCGplayer lists the Black Bolt Binder Collection for $5.94 less than Amazon’s $50, it’s a wise choice.

Though the Black White Rares are unique to Black Bolt and White Flare, they set the stage for the forthcoming era of Mega Evolutions and its inaugural expansion, Phantasmal Flames. The dual set trend features Mega Lucario ex and Mega Gardevoir ex spearheading Mega Evolution, accompanied by numerous Illustration Rares and gold rares echoing the design of Black White Rares, but in gold.
