S&S-era Pokémon booster boxes like Chilling Reign and Lost Origin are now out of print, and with demand surging, resell prices have jumped over 2x.
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.
