About Fates Collide

An XY set built around Zygarde and Alakazam-EX. Released on 2 May 2016, it belongs to the Black & White and XY era. 10 years on, most of its sealed stock has long been opened, and unopened product mostly changes hands between collectors.

Fates Collide has 124 cards in its main numbering, plus 5 secret rares numbered beyond it.

Chase cards to look for

The Fates Collide cards collectors most want to pull are Alakazam-EX and Zygarde-EX. With 36 packs, a box gives you the most chances at them of any sealed product, though no box is guaranteed to hold any one card.

Our catalogue lists the set's rarest tiers as 1 Secret Rare, 28 Ultra Rares and 27 Rares. See every Fates Collide card price for what each is worth.

Fates Collide Booster Box as an investment

After 10 years, sealed Fates Collide booster boxes rarely come up, and prices tend to rise as boxes are opened and supply shrinks. Booster boxes are the sealed product most collectors hold long term, as they are easy to store and to value. Much of its sealed value rests on demand for Alakazam-EX and Zygarde-EX: 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 boxes has neat seams, often with Pokémon logos printed on it, and loose or glossy wrap can mean a resealed product. At €4,090 it is worth asking for photos of every side and buying from sellers with a long, positive history, since resealed and weighed product is common. A full box gives better odds than loose packs, and its value as a sealed item is easier to judge (how to value a sealed booster box). Check whether delivery from ebay.de adds import fees, and store sealed product flat, out of sunlight and away from damp.
