Plasma Storm Booster Box guide

What's inside the Plasma Storm Booster Box

Each Plasma Storm Booster Box is a factory-sealed display of 36 sealed booster packs, every one of them from Plasma Storm.

About Plasma Storm

The first Team Plasma set, with blue-framed Plasma cards and Charizard-EX. Released on 6 February 2013, it belongs to the Black & White and XY era. 13 years on, most of its sealed stock has long been opened, and unopened product mostly changes hands between collectors.

Plasma Storm has 135 cards in its main numbering, plus 3 secret rares numbered beyond it.

Chase cards to look for

The Plasma Storm cards collectors most want to pull are Charizard-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 3 Secret Rares, 5 Ultra Rares and 47 Rares. See every Plasma Storm card price for what each is worth.

Plasma Storm Booster Box as an investment

After 13 years, sealed Plasma Storm 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 Charizard-EX: if those cards rise, unopened product usually follows.

None of this is financial advice: sealed prices can fall as well as rise. Our guide should you buy sealed Pokémon products? weighs up both sides.

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 €73,438 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). Compare the total with delivery, not just the price, and store sealed product flat, out of sunlight and away from damp.
