If you play or collect the Pokémon TCG, you have probably heard the buzz around Scarlet and Violet’s Black Bolt and White Flare expansions. They have been filling card shops and trade binders with stunning special illustration rares, strong competitive trainer cards, and some eye-catching secret art rare ex Pokémon that are making an impact in tournaments.
The Black Bolt Binder Collection is an easy way to dive into the set without having to track down booster packs one at a time, and right now TCGPlayer has it for much less than Amazon.
Amazon is asking $68.49 for the collection, which is well above the current market value. TCGPlayer has it for $51.74, saving you $16.75 that you could put toward extra boosters or a few singles to finish your deck. Inside the Black Bolt Binder Collection you get a durable nine-pocket binder with set artwork, five Scarlet and Violet Black Bolt booster packs, and a code card for Pokémon TCG Live so you can bring your pulls into the online game.
This product works for both sides of the Pokémon TCG hobby. Players can crack the boosters in hopes of pulling a card that improves their tournament list, while collectors can use the binder to store and display their favorite pulls from Black Bolt and White Flare. The binder is sturdy enough for regular use and the pockets fit cards snugly, so your rares and holofoils stay in top condition.
Opening sealed product is a big part of the fun in this hobby, and the Black Bolt Binder Collection offers that thrill along with a practical storage upgrade. It is also a neat way to keep your cards from the paired White Flare expansion together, since many collectors like to display both sets side by side.
TCGPlayer market data shows the Black Bolt Binder Collection averages around $52.94, which makes Amazon’s price more than 29% higher than what most people are paying. If you want to enjoy the excitement of Black Bolt and White Flare without overspending, TCGPlayer is the clear winner.
