Obsidian Flames Booster Bundle (2023): How Many Packs?
By Dexhaul Team · October 8, 2026 · 5 min read
The Obsidian Flames Booster Bundle is the compact entry point into SV03: six packs, no accessories, and the same pool of pulls as a full booster box from the same set.
Quick answer: The Pokémon TCG Obsidian Flames Booster Bundle (set code SV03) contains 6 Scarlet & Violet Obsidian Flames booster packs, each with 10 cards and one Pokémon TCG Live code card. MSRP was $19.99 at launch on August 11, 2023, the lowest per-pack price of any sealed OBF product at retail (source: tcg.pokemon.com).

What's inside the Obsidian Flames Booster Bundle
The bundle is factory sealed and contains six standard OBF packs, identical to the packs inside a Booster Box or Elite Trainer Box from the same set. There are no promo cards, no sleeves, and no accessories of any kind.
| Contents | Quantity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| OBF booster packs | 6 | SV03 Scarlet & Violet: Obsidian Flames |
| Cards per pack | 10 | 1 rare or better guaranteed per pack |
| Pokémon TCG Live code cards | 6 | One per pack |
| Promo cards | 0 | n/a |
| Sleeves / accessories | 0 | n/a |
Tera type cards are the signature mechanic of Obsidian Flames: the set features Pokémon that have crystallised into a Tera type different from their natural one. Tera Charizard ex (Dragon type) is the cover card and the set's most-chased pull, but each pack also has a chance at Special Illustration Rare ex cards across the full 230-card set.
MSRP and price per pack
At its $19.99 MSRP, the Booster Bundle worked out to $3.33 per pack, the cheapest per-pack format in the Obsidian Flames lineup at launch, cheaper even than the Booster Box on a unit basis.
| OBF Format | Packs | MSRP (at launch) | $/pack at MSRP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Booster Bundle (SV03) | 6 | $19.99 | $3.33 |
| Build & Battle Box (SV03) | 4 | $14.99 | $3.75 * |
| Elite Trainer Box (SV03) | 9 | $49.99 | $5.56 * |
| * Pack-equivalent only; the B&B Box includes a promo deck; the ETB includes accessories beyond the packs. | |||
At secondary-market prices observed in October 2026, the floor for the Booster Bundle sits around $92.90 USD at independent shops, while a full Booster Box now trades above $400 USD. That inverts the MSRP relationship: the Booster Box is now cheaper per pack at secondary prices, while the Bundle's smaller lot size commands a premium per unit.

The bundle sits in the sweet spot for buyers who want more than a three-pack blister but aren't ready to spend $400+ on a full box. Six packs gives a fair sample of the set, enough to chase a card type you want without the all-or-nothing commitment of a booster box.

Who should buy it, and who should skip it
Buy it if: You want a light sample of a set known for its Tera type pulls, you're looking for a gift for a Pokémon fan at a lower price point than an ETB, or you just want to crack a few packs without the scale of a full box. At current independent-shop prices around $92–$170 USD, the Booster Bundle is a reasonable entry point for a set that still carries chase cards in demand: Tera Charizard ex, Pidgeot ex, and Mew ex from OBF remain collectible.
Skip it if: You're targeting a specific rare and plan to open volume; at secondary prices, the Booster Box now delivers better per-pack economics. If accessories matter (sleeves, dice, a coin, dividers), the ETB is the better buy. The Booster Bundle contains nothing beyond the six packs.
