What's inside the Fusion Strike Booster Box

A sealed Fusion Strike Booster Box holds 36 sealed booster packs from Fusion Strike, the full display a shop would open to sell packs one by one.

About Fusion Strike

Introduced Fusion Strike Pokémon, with Mew VMAX and alternate art Gengar VMAX and Espeon VMAX. Released on 12 November 2021, it belongs to the Sword & Shield era, when the collecting boom pushed print runs to record levels. It came out 5 years ago, so most sealed stock has been opened and what is left sits with collectors.

Fusion Strike has 264 cards in its main numbering, plus 20 secret rares numbered beyond it.

What collectors open Fusion Strike for

The Fusion Strike cards collectors most want to pull are Gengar VMAX, Espeon VMAX and Mew VMAX. 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 20 Secret Rares, 20 Ultra Rares and 8 VMAX. Prices for every card are on the Fusion Strike set page.

Is the Fusion Strike Booster Box a good investment?

Older sealed product tends to rise as boxes are opened and supply shrinks, and Fusion Strike is now 5 years past release. Its price still depends on demand for its chase cards and on any reprints. Booster boxes are the sealed product most collectors hold long term, as they are easy to store and to value. Watch the price of Gengar VMAX, the set's headline card, since sealed Fusion Strike tends to move with it.

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

Look closely at the wrapping in the photos. Factory wrap on booster boxes has neat seams, often with Pokémon logos printed on it; baggy, shiny or uneven wrap is a common sign of a reseal. For a Fusion Strike Booster Box at around €1,220, ask the seller for photos of all sides and stick to accounts with plenty of positive feedback. 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.com adds import fees, and store sealed product flat, out of sunlight and away from damp.
