The decline in single card prices has contributed to this newfound stability. The initial frenzy of panic buying has subsided, leaving behind a set that's still enjoyable to open and now more accessible than ever. This is reminiscent of the relaxed atmosphere during the Stellar Crown release. If you missed out on launch week and watched prices skyrocket on TCGPlayer, now is an excellent time to invest in sealed products.

The Elite Trainer Box is packed with value: nine Journey Together booster packs, a full-art foil N's Zorua, card sleeves, energy, dice, condition markers, and a code card for Live. It also includes a booklet that gives you insights into what you might not pull, adding a touch of realism to your collecting experience. This box is perfect for displaying on a shelf and slowly opening over time, like a mini cardboard advent calendar of anticipation.

The ETB exclusive card, N's Zorua, is decent, but the real chase cards have settled into more reasonable prices. Lillie's Clefairy ex SIR is still pricey at $180, though significantly less than its pre-order peak. N's Zoroark ex is now around $13, with its stamped version being more affordable than a movie ticket. If you're considering opening sealed products, now is the time when the value proposition makes sense.

The Booster Bundle offers a straightforward experience with six booster packs, ideal for those who enjoy the thrill of opening packs without the extra accessories. It's a cost-effective choice compared to the ETB, especially if you already have enough sleeves and dividers.

The card market for this set has seen significant price drops, making it an intriguing purchase now. Salamence ex SIR, which was once priced at $250, is now around $106 and expected to settle near $100. Iono's Bellibolt ex, once anticipated to be a high-value card, is now around $8. While this isn't good news for early buyers, it's great for those looking to get into the set with a Booster Bundle.

I picked up one of these sleeved boosters on a whim, using some forgotten Amazon credit. It's a low-risk way to experience the set, offering one pack with random blister artwork and ten cards. You might end up with a sense of joy or quiet resignation, but it's all part of the fun.

I couldn't resist this collection because of the charming acrylic standee and the quirky Pokémon. It comes with six booster packs, a full-art Bellibolt ex, a foil Tadbulb, and fun extras like a sticker and a display backdrop. None of these are strictly necessary, but they add a delightful touch to the collection.

Bellibolt's cards have followed the trend of the set, with prices dropping significantly. The standard full-art Bellibolt ex is now $7 to $8, and the Special Illustration Rare version is around $80. While still expensive, it's a far cry from the initial hype. This premium collection is a fun choice for fans of the character, and I'm happy to invest in charm when the market has returned to more reasonable levels.
