Sealed products for Unbroken Bonds
Booster Box
The 36-pack booster box was $144 at retail and is now selling for $2,200-$2,900, with most August 2026 sales landing between $2,400 and $2,700. A Heritage Auctions result in July 2026 came in at $2,313, which is a useful anchor for what a verified box fetches outside eBay. Boxes with the factory shrink fully intact and no shelf wear take the top of the range, and cased boxes add a couple hundred dollars more.
Elite Trainer Box
The Unbroken Bonds ETB includes eight booster packs, a Reshiram & Charizard-GX art on the box, sleeves, dice, markers, energy cards and a guide, at $39.99 MSRP. Sealed ETBs trade at $1,400-$2,200, with a typical clean example around $1,550-$1,700. The ETB is a common target for resealing because the eight packs inside are worth far less than the sealed product, so buy carefully.
Blisters
Three-pack blisters shipped with a promo and a coin, single-pack checklane blisters without. Three-packs now sell for $220-$300 and single-pack blisters for $75-$100, tracking loose packs at roughly $65-$85 each. Blisters are the practical way to own a sealed pack or two of this set without a four-figure commitment.
Build & Battle Box
The prerelease Build & Battle Box holds four Unbroken Bonds packs, a 23-card evolution pack with one of four stamped promos (including a prerelease-stamped Dedenne-GX in some kits) and a code card, originally $19.99. Sealed kits sell for $330-$420. Because these were distributed through stores for prerelease events, they were widely opened, and clean sealed copies are less common than the price suggests.
Theme Decks, Launch Display, Collector's Album and Mini Packs
The Lightning Loop (Zeraora) and Battle Mind (Mewtwo) theme decks contain no packs and sit at $40-$70 sealed. The Launch Display of 24 packs with a Charizard-themed counter box is rare and typically $1,500-$1,900. The Collector's Album with one pack brings $90-$120, and dollar-store three-card Mini Packs sell for $10-$20.
Chase cards and pull rates
Reshiram & Charizard-GX is the set. The regular art (20/214) trades at $30-$50 raw, the full art (194/214) at $180-$280 and the rainbow Hyper Rare (217/214) at $350-$550, with PSA 10 copies of the rainbow well above $1,000. Greninja & Zoroark-GX full art and Lucario & Melmetal-GX full art sit at $60-$120, while Marshadow & Machamp-GX and Gardevoir & Sylveon-GX are cheaper. On the Trainer side, Welder full art and Green's Exploration full art remain $50-$100 each because both were staple competitive cards, and the gold Welder is a popular secret rare.
A 36-pack box typically produces roughly six to nine GX cards with one to three full arts or better, and a specific rainbow such as Reshiram & Charizard shows up in well under half of boxes. The set is large, so completing a master set from a single box is not realistic.
Is Unbroken Bonds worth buying sealed?
Unbroken Bonds sits in the middle of the Sun & Moon value ladder: cheaper than Team Up, Unified Minds and Cosmic Eclipse, more expensive than Lost Thunder or Celestial Storm. That position reflects a set with one enormous chase card and a deep but ordinary checklist otherwise. Boxes roughly doubled between 2021 and 2024 and have gained modestly since. Sales volume is healthy at a few boxes a week, which means better liquidity than most Sun & Moon sealed if you need to sell. It is a sensible medium-term hold if bought in the $2,300-$2,600 window, and the ETB is the alternative for anyone who wants the Charizard art on the shelf for less.
How to spot fakes and resealed products
Unbroken Bonds boxes have the standard 2019 factory shrink: clear, tight, one straight seam on a side panel, small vent holes and a slight overlap at each end. Shrink that is loose enough to slide, has a seam on the top face, or shows heat ripple is not original. The bottom panel carries a printed lot code. Inside, packs are arranged four rows of nine with Reshiram & Charizard, Greninja & Zoroark, Lucario & Melmetal and Marshadow & Machamp artworks. Every genuine pack has a code card, and crimps should be sharp with an even wave pattern; rounded or flattened crimps suggest the pack was opened and re-crimped. For ETBs, the shrink should be tight against the box art with the seam on the back. Ask for photos of the seam and lot code before paying, and prefer sellers with a visible history of Sun & Moon sealed sales.
Where to buy Unbroken Bonds sealed
Shops that were open in 2019 sometimes still have ETBs and Build & Battle kits, and shop prices tend to sit below eBay. Use the card shop directory to find stores near you and call ahead. Card shows are a good source for boxes because you can inspect the shrink in person. Online, these eBay searches return the cleanest results:
