Pokemon Silver Tempest Booster Box - English

Overview

Originally overlooked in the S&S era, Silver Tempest has gained momentum as flippers and collectors reconsider its long-term value. The booster box features one of the best modern chase cards in Lugia V Alt Art, which has driven consistent resale even after multiple reprints. With new interest, smart buyers who scooped at £110 or lower have begun flipping boxes at nearly 3x markup.

How the Flip Played Out

PSA 10 Lugia Alt Arts reached £250+ in resale, making sealed boxes attractive for both collectors and investors.

Flippers took positions post-reprint when boxes hit retail again for under £130.

Discord flagged its comeback potential and shared links to Replay Game Shop and Chaos Cards.

Some concerns remain about future growth due to heavy reprinting, but limited upside still exists.
