Plasma Storm Booster Pack

Plasma Storm Booster Pack guide

What's inside the Plasma Storm Booster Pack

Each Plasma Storm Booster Pack is a single foil pack of 10 cards, with at least one rare 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.

What collectors open Plasma Storm for

The Plasma Storm cards collectors most want to pull are Charizard-EX. Any one pack can hold them, but most packs will not: buying the single card is usually cheaper than opening for it.

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 Pack as an investment

After 13 years, sealed Plasma Storm booster packs rarely come up, and prices tend to rise as boxes are opened and supply shrinks. Single packs are the easiest to resell but also the most likely to have been searched or weighed. Much of its sealed value rests on demand for Charizard-EX: if those cards rise, unopened product usually follows.

Only buy a Plasma Storm Booster Pack to hold if you are happy to keep it either way, as prices can fall too. This is not financial advice; see should you buy sealed Pokémon products?

Before you buy

Check the shrink wrap: factory wrap on packs is tight and crimped evenly at both ends, and loose or glossy wrap can mean a resealed product. Avoid "weighed" or searched packs from bulk sellers: some sellers weigh packs to pull the holos out first. Always compare totals with delivery included, and keep sealed product away from sunlight, heat and damp once it arrives.
