Summary
-
The Fusion Strike TCG set was initially unpopular due to lack of exciting cards and its inflated size.
-
Prices of closed fusion strikes have increased exponentially in the last year.
-
Factors such as FOMO and valuable cards increase prices and create wild time for collectors.
Specifically, I remember when Fusion Strike started. I covered it for DualShockers and at that time there was a lot of dissatisfaction around the set. She watched two of the most publicized expansion in the history of Pokemon Trading Card, celebrations and developing sky and brought things back to Earth with impact.
The ensemble was huge, the largest in TCG history, making him a nightmare for Master Setters, and his lack of “exciting cards” meant that he was not as popular anywhere as his predecessors. I could conveniently choose the boost boxes for £ 100 and the boy, I did.

But as the Pokemon TCG fired the roof (and then they seem to return a little down), Fusion Strike found the second wind, its value in the last few weeks exponentially grew.
Closed Fusion Strike products now stands happiness
Naturally, when Fusion Strike came out of the press and became unavailable in stores, its prices grew – and they did. According to Collectr, this time last year, a closed booster would return you $ 243 and an elite coach box about $ 48. The expansion was strengthened in January this year, with the two products jumped to $ 487 and $ 90 by the middle of the month. Then they settled a little, but in the last few days it has fired.
According to The Collectr, sealed booster boxes are now sold for $ 779 and the elite boxes of coaches for $ 166. This represents an increase of 220 percent compared to last year and an increase of 61 percent from 1 May for booster boxes and an increase of 246 percent from that period last year and 15 % increase from May 1.
There are probably several reasons for these huge increases. First, Fomo, people are now afraid that this is the last chance to get to the products, so they are willing to pay extreme prices. Second, Chase. Many of the most popular Fusion Strike cards are now extremely valuable (Gengar Vmax and Espeon vmax alternative art are the two largest) and people itch to pull their own.
In my preview of DualShockers, I said the ensemble would be “the one that people learn to love over time” and these prices are exactly what it is.
Naturally, as Fusion Strike has risen, it also has a developing sky, while the booster boxes from this set jumped from $ 887 to $ 1,723 in the last six months – set for which I opened ten booster boxes and could be on the way to retire.
It is wild time to be a Pokemon card collector.
