Pokémon Collection Boxes are special packages in the Pokémon Trading Card Game that are often themed around a specific Pokémon, character, or concept. They are aimed at both collectors and players and usually contain a variety of items to appeal to a broad audience.
Typically, a Pokémon Collection Box may include:
Promotional Cards: These promotional cards (aka Promo Cards) are often exclusive cards featuring the Pokémon or character the box is themed around, sometimes with unique artwork or special foil treatments.
Booster Packs: The box will usually contain several booster packs from various sets, allowing players to expand their collections with random cards.
Oversized (Jumbo) Card: Many collection boxes include a larger, jumbo version of a promo card, which is not playable but is a collectible item.
Code Card for the Pokémon TCG Online: This allows players to unlock digital items in the online version of the game, usually corresponding to the physical items in the box.
Other Collectibles: Depending on the box, it might also include additional items like pin badges, coins, stickers, or other Pokémon-themed merchandise.
Purpose:
For Players: The collection boxes provide new cards and booster packs that players can use to upgrade or build their decks, and the promo cards can sometimes be powerful or useful in gameplay.
For Collectors: The exclusive promo cards, oversized cards, and other collectibles are appealing for collectors looking for unique or limited-edition items.
For Fans: The themed merchandise and variety of items can be appealing for general Pokémon fans, even those not actively involved in the card game.
Availability and Pricing:
The availability and pricing of these collection boxes can vary, depending on the contents, the featured Pokémon or characters, and the overall demand. Some may become more valuable over time, especially if they feature popular or rare Pokémon and include exclusive items or cards.
