Pokemon Card 151 Themed Merchandise

Sealed Saturday

Ongoing from yesterday’s feature, the Celebrations Classic Collection Charizard, today’s feature will focus on sealed product from Celebrations.

First up we have the Celebration Elite Trainer Box:

In the box:

  • 10 Celebrations Boosters

  • 1x Greninja Gold Star Promo card

  • 1x Chilling Reign booster

  • 1x Battle Styles booster

  • 1x Vivid Voltage booster

  • 2x Darkness Ablaze boosters

  • Other accessories

The price is steadily moving up. Scary dip at the top but we’ll see how that turns out later on.

Next, Celebrations Pokemon Center Elite Trainer Box.

In the box:

  • 13 Celebrations four-card booster packs

  • Greninja Gold Star Promo card

  • 1x Battle Styles booster

  • 1x Darkness Ablaze booster

  • 2x Chilling Reign boosters

  • 2x Vivid Voltage boosters

  • Other accessories

There were fewer of these made than the standard ETBs. Exclusively sold at pokemoncenter.com.

It looks like this was on the same rollercoaster as our Charizard yesterday. The price point ending up almost exactly where is was a year ago.

Last but not least, the Celebration Ultra Premium Collection.

In the box:

  • 1x Metal Charizard card

  • 1x Metal Pikachu card

  • 1x Gold Pikachu card

  • 1x Gold Pokeball card

  • 17x Celebrations boosters

  • 3x Chilling Reign boosters

  • 3x Vivid Voltage boosters

  • 2x Darkness Ablaze boosters

  • Other accessories

  • And a really nice storage box

These are still very much in high demand. I do wonder if the hype will die down.

What is funny though, is that I found relevant memes to today’s feature.

And, yes, I fact checked a meme. Where’s my certificate?

Scroll to 48 seconds in.

That’s a wrap!

I hope you enjoyed the 34th edition.
