With 4 packs included, you have solid odds of pulling something special! Certain sets also have secret rare "god packs" with all ultra rare hits.
Dragonite V Box Provides Great Value
At a retail price of $19.99, the Dragonite V Box offers collectors excellent value:
- The Dragonite V promo alone is worth $5 – $10
- Oversize card value: $2 – $3

That‘s $20 – $25 worth of items, for the price of the sealed box. Being able to obtain the limited Dragonite V card makes it extra worthwhile.

Caring for Your Cards
Pokémon cards can maintain value or become even more precious over decades. With proper care, your Dragonite V box pulls can stay in pristine shape:
- Use sleeves and top loaders, limit direct handling of cards
- Store in a cool, dry place away from humidity
- Avoid exposing cards to direct sunlight over long periods
- Never bend or fold cards, which can damage instantly

Treat your Pokémon cards well and they can become treasures to keep or sell down the road!
