Pitch Black Elite Trainer Box
Elite Trainer Box of Pitch Black (PBL), released July 17, 2026. Market price from TCGplayer, updated daily.
Is the Elite Trainer Box worth it?
Opened, the elite trainer box costs you $7.87 a pack, against $5.77 for a single Pitch Black booster pack: 36% more than single packs, so you pay for the extras or the box itself. At launch it cost $49.99; today it sells for 42% more. The 46 hits of Pitch Black (Double Rare and up) are worth $535 together; the five most valuable make up 72% of that, so most boxes miss the cards that carry the value. Buying the single card you want is usually cheaper than opening for it; see the Pitch Black chase cards.
