The vendor's catalog photograph of Black and White Booster Pack. It identifies the product; it is not evidence of condition, of what is inside, or of any price on this page.Product type, set and release date, chase cards, price history and how it compares with the Black & White era.
The Black & White set opened the Black & White era of the English-language Pokémon TCG when it released on April 25, 2011, and the Black and White Booster Pack is the basic unit for opening it. A booster pack is a sealed pack of randomized cards, built for pulling the set's rares and filling out a collection one pack at a time. The set carries 114 official cards plus one secret, 115 printings in the catalog, and it has 11 sealed products in total, from decks and tins to blisters and booster boxes.
A Black & White Booster Pack can yield every one of the set's chase cards, since its packs come straight from the set. The top card is the Secret Rare Pikachu, followed by the Ultra Rare Zekrom and the Ultra Rare Reshiram, with a standard Rare Reshiram and a Rare Zoroark rounding out the five most valuable. Three chase-tier cards sit above the main list, and the single secret card extends the set past its official 114. Value is highly concentrated: the top five cards account for 79 percent of the set's total card value, so a handful of pulls carry most of what the set is worth.
As of October 23, 2026, the Black & White booster pack has only been tracked since September 2026, so the record is short. Its high came that same month, and it now sits 8 percent below that peak. Over the past 30 days it is down 8 percent. The figures rest on a modelled market guide rather than a run of recent sales, which suits a product with thin day-to-day trading. A window this brief says little about long-term direction, and the early swing matters more than any trend.
Written from market data as of October 24, 2026; the tables update live.
Among the 11 Black & White era booster packs, this one ranks 9th by price, at about 0.6 times the era median. The Call of Legends Booster Pack, from the previous set, is priced higher, and the Emerging Powers Booster Pack, from the next set, is priced lower. Within its own set's line, the Black & White Booster Pack is 1st by price of the 3 priced products, so the pack leads its set even though it sits in the lower part of the era's pack market.

On file: 7 asks · 5 sales · 191 daily guide points · 139 stock readings.
| EvidenceEvidenceWhat kind of fact this row is. A completed sale, a live ask and a calculated guide price are three different weights of evidence about the same number, and this column is the difference between them. | ObservedObservedThe day the fact was read — not the day the underlying event happened, and not today. An old date is an old reading. | AgeAgeHow long ago this row was read, as of the moment the page was computed. | ConfidenceConfidenceHow much weight this row carries where it feeds a model, from the resolver that matched it. Lower means a looser match or a thinner source, and a low-confidence row is reweighted rather than dropped. | ModelledModelledYes = a CALCULATED value (a guide price, an estimate); No = something actually observed (a sale, a listing, a census count). A modelled row is evidence about a model, not about the market. |

Every price is that product’s newest stored daily bar, picked by the same precedence the chart above uses — a real observed sale beats a modelled guide, and the guide stands in only on days with no sale. Per-pack divides by the PUBLISHED pack count and is withheld wherever that count is not on file, because a guessed denominator makes a fabricated price. Products the set has but we cannot price keep their row, with a dash.
5 inputs have no sealed evidence and were reweighted away: supply tightness, absorption, auction demand, grading reflexivity, reprint / supply risk.

A wholesale ask is a distributor’s price for a whole lot — freight, minimums and any trade terms sit behind it — and is not a price a single box trades at. Links go to the distributor’s own page; nothing here is an affiliate link. Per-pack figures divide the lot price by the pack count the distributor published, never by a guessed one.
2 lots listed on 2026-11-06 — higher than 50% of the set's own readings over 51 readings in 90 days.
Thin on the wholesale shelf: fresh-pack supply is not what is pressuring Black & White's raw NM singles right now.
One distributor’s public catalogue is a proxy for supply, not the print run.
