Boundaries Crossed (BCR) is an expansion in the Black & White era of the English-language Pokémon TCG, released on November 7, 2012. Black Kyurem-EX and White Kyurem-EX sit at the head of the card list, and Black Kyurem-EX is one of several names printed in more than one version alongside Celebi-EX and Cresselia-EX. The set has 149 official cards plus 4 secret cards, for 153 printings in all, and it leans on Colorless, Psychic, Water and Grass Pokémon.
The Boundaries Crossed chase cards come from two tiers: 9 Ultra Rares and 4 Secret Rares, the secrets numbered past the printed 149. The most valuable cards are Black Kyurem-EX and White Kyurem-EX, both Ultra Rares illustrated by 5ban Graphics, followed by the Secret Rare Altaria, then the Ultra Rare trainers Skyla and Bianca. Value is heavily concentrated: the top five cards alone hold 61 percent of the set's total card value, so the rest of the card list matters far less to the market than that handful.
As of October 2026, Boundaries Crossed holds the 4th highest total card value of the 12 comparable Black & White sets, about 1.4 times the era median, and it ranks 37th across the whole game. Its top card also ranks 4th in the era, and it places 6th for trading activity. At 149 official cards it is larger than the era median of 111. It followed Dragon Vault, which holds less total value, and came before Plasma Storm, which holds similar value. Its cards first appeared in the Japanese sets BW6: Freeze Bolt and BW6: Cold Flare, released July 13, 2012.

A complete Boundaries Crossed run is 153 printings, and 152 of them are priced. Because the top five cards carry 61 percent of the set's total card value, the cost of finishing the set is driven by a few Kyurem-EX, Secret Rare and trainer cards rather than by the 50 commons or the rest of the base run. Four sealed products are listed for the set: a booster box, a booster pack and two decks. Black Kyurem-EX and White Kyurem-EX are the cards to confirm first when pricing a full collection.
