Brilliant Stars Booster Bundle guide

What's inside the Brilliant Stars Booster Bundle

The Brilliant Stars Booster Bundle bundles 6 booster packs of Brilliant Stars together, without the extras of an Elite Trainer Box.

About Brilliant Stars

Introduced Pokémon VSTAR and the Trainer Gallery, with Charizard VSTAR and an alternate art Charizard V. Released on 25 February 2022, it belongs to the Sword & Shield era, when the collecting boom pushed print runs to record levels. Shops have mostly moved on to newer sets, so sealed stock now comes mainly from resellers.

Brilliant Stars has 172 cards in its main numbering, plus 14 secret rares numbered beyond it, and a 30-card Brilliant Stars Trainer Gallery subset.

The cards a Brilliant Stars Booster Bundle can hold

The Brilliant Stars cards collectors most want to pull are Charizard V, Charizard VSTAR and Arceus VSTAR. 6 packs gives a few chances at them for less than a larger box.

Our catalogue lists the set's rarest tiers as 16 Secret Rares, 37 Ultra Rares and 3 VMAX. See every Brilliant Stars card price for what each is worth.

Brilliant Stars Booster Bundle as an investment

Brilliant Stars is out of its main print run, the stage where sealed prices often start to move, but modern sets are printed in large numbers and can be reprinted. Bundles are newer and less collected than boxes or ETBs, so they are mostly bought to open. Much of its sealed value rests on demand for Charizard V and Charizard VSTAR: if those cards rise, unopened product usually follows.

Past prices do not guarantee future ones, and this is not financial advice. Read should you buy sealed Pokémon products? for the pros and cons.

Before you buy

Check the shrink wrap: factory wrap on booster bundles has neat seams, often with Pokémon logos printed on it, and loose or glossy wrap can mean a resealed product. Some bundles are sold as loose packs in a bag, so check the photos show the factory-wrapped bundle. Check whether delivery from abroad adds import fees, and store sealed product flat, out of sunlight and away from damp.
