What’s in the Celebrations Elite Trainer Box? Is it worth it? In this article, we’ll cover exactly what comes inside the Celebrations Elite Trainer Box and whether or not you should buy one.

The 25th Anniversary Celebrations Elite Trainer Box was released on October 8, 2021 as a part of Pokemon’s highly anticipated 25th anniversary Celebrations set. The set features new Sword & Shield era cards along with a classic collection subset that includes new versions of old favorites, including base set Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur.

How Many Booster Packs in Celebrations Elite Trainer Box?

The Celebrations Pokemon Center Exclusive Elite Trainer Box contains 13 Celebrations booster packs plus 6 additional Pokemon TCG packs, whereas the standard Celebrations ETB contains 10 Celebrations booster packs plus 5 additional Pokemon TCG packs.

Is the Celebrations Elite Trainer Box Worth It?

This is a very common question. For many Elite Trainer Boxes within main Pokemon TCG sets, the answer is usually no, at least from a cost-per-booster-pack standpoint. However, for holiday sets like Celebrations, Elite Trainer Boxes are worth it for two reasons:

1. The cost per booster pack is one of the best you’ll find in the Celebrations set
2. Holiday set ETBs are very popular items and will generally be worth keeping in your long-term collection.

So, whether your intention is to add the Shining Fates Elite Trainer Box to your sealed collection or to open it up, it’s very much worth buying.
