The White Flare Binder Collection is perfect for kicking off your Unovan Illustration Rare and Secret Art Rare collection, which is a long road by the way. Each Pokémon found in Pokémon Black and White 1 and 2 has either one or the other, so everyone is getting the full art treatment. Imagine how amazing your binder will look with a collection like that?
Whilst Black Bolt and White Flare is a stunning end to the Scarlet and Violet Pokémon TCG era, everyone has their eyes on Mega Evolution / Phantasmal Flames. I’m focusing on Black Bolt and White Flare right now, which has some of the highest value cards in the Scarlet and Violet era which you can pull or buy separately right now (see below).
The White Flare Binder Collection is a Reshiram-themed soft binder with six pockets on each page with five booster packs. At this price it’s worth it if you’re after a unique-looking binder, and even if you’re not, it’s still not a bad price when thinking about the single booster pack prices at the moment.

If you’re just interested in pulling the big guys in this set, it’s going to cost you hundreds of dollars if you’re lucky. Don’t get me wrong, some people have ridiculous mythical powers and could pull a Black-White Rare on their first pack, but don’t bank on that happening. Buying singles is a good way to hedge your bets against ripping boosters.
