They're Paying You to Open Them! GameStop's $25 Obsidian Flames ETBs!

This early Black Friday deal is too good to pass up! GameStop's $25 Obsidian Flames Elite Trainer Boxes, combined with the rising price of the Charmander promo cards inside, give us reason enough TO OPEN 3! That’s exactly what we do-come check out if we got lucky with some PSA-worthy promo cards, and watch as we open all 27 packs in search of one of the 4 Charizard cards in this awesome set.

I pulled one pack of these obsidian packs on stream first time and hit a gold charizard! Best day of my life!

[@christopherrodriguez1796]

I hit the sir charizard. Im new to collecting so I didnt know what i had till later. I was bummed because I wanted the gold one. I then looked it up and realised i had a 50$ card and if psa 10 300$+

[@andrewwilkin6019]

@@christopherrodriguez1796 me and my girlfriend decided to get back into Pokemon collecting together this past week, thus we decided to go into our local game stop and we picked up the only Build and Battle stadium box left. Came with 11 obsidian flames packs and we packed all 3 of the chase charizard cards. We packed the gold one first, then the full art, and finally the sir.

Picked up paldea evovled booster box 36 pack for $40.78 yesterday at my local card shop 🤟🏾

@FamRipsPokemon nah keeping them sealed for the long haul and seeing what's the plan in a few years.

Thinking about it, wouldn't it be magikarp fishing?

Good luck on some magic Jordan great price for etb nice let’s get some 🔥🔥🔥

Tried on their website but it's unavailable in my area and in the store they told me It's unavailable until Black Friday and to try online or be outside the store around 5 am to be first in line.

Hopefully 5 to 7 psa 10s coming to an FamRips Live Stream Battle near you!!

[@Hiro39367]

What type of penny sleeves are best? I’ve been using perfect fit sleeves but penny sleeves would be a good second sleeve to put them in.

[@FamRipsPokemon]

@Hiro39367 most of our higher end hits go to PSA so which ever ones are cheapest.

[@ossmann89]

That geeta sir going for a whopping 2 bucks

[@FamRipsPokemon]

Good thing we pulled the pigeot SIR!

[@kennethtran4706]

they always stuff the left over damaged cards in later print runs

[@JohnSmith-qf1jn]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@JustMoses12]

What sleeves do you use

[@FamRipsPokemon]

Whatever is on sale because the sleeves done come back from PSA when you send them in to grade 😀

Keep checking, and I had more Paldea Evolved drop online yesterday.

[@Fishxf]

no gamestops within 125 miles of me have any etbs after 2 days of sale, and still no restock ;(

[@FamRipsPokemon]

Keep your eyes on target. Rumored to be getting SS era etbs $20

[@DaBeast5368andCr7stJsus]

Hello I have a question. Should I open the obsidian flames elite trainer box for the promos and keep the packs sealed or should I keep the elite trainer box sealed. I’m not trying to collect I’m trying to invest

[@DaBeast5368andCr7stJsus]

Do you have an answer? No rush but I want to buy it before the deal is done

[@FamRipsPokemon]

@DaBeast5368andCr7stJsus it's a gamble. The promo in a PSA 10 is $125+ You will be able to get Obsidian Flames ETBs for awhile longer just not at $25. I like opening this set for the charizards

[@DaBeast5368andCr7stJsus]

@FamRipsPokemon I understand. I pulled all 3 of the Charizards. After knowing this what do you say?

[@FamRipsPokemon]

@DaBeast5368andCr7stJsus sealed

[@mobileempire5446]

What do you mean haven’t been doing it for you? I’m curious what you look at for a set to be good. Like artwise or Pokemon wise?

[@FamRipsPokemon]

It's all about the Benjamin's

[@leeroymlg4692]

​​​@@FamRipsPokemonyou ain't in it for the heart of the cards

[@FamRipsPokemon]

@mobileempire5446 The sets have for lack of a better word just sucked. The era is apparently pokemon by Lisa Frank, all rainbows and cartoon animation (oh and garbage investments so far this era 😀) Pokemon knows most of its fans are dudes and dad's reflect that.

[@NorbertNahumEvreuklovic]

No way this will ever happen outside of USA right 😂

[@FamRipsPokemon]

@NorbertNahumEvreuklovic is doubtful, but we do go live and don't try to pay our bills rip n shipping, so the prices and shipping are fair...

[@PatriotJedi]

People like you are the reason I couldn't get a Obsidian flames at my gamestop😑 lol they only had scarlet and violet for this black Friday Sale so I atleast grabbed that because 25$ for a etb is great IMO. But still like dammit either stores never get enough stock or people buy too much at once 🤣

[@FamRipsPokemon]

@PatriotJedi you should bitch to my discord they tipped us all off at around 12:31 am when it went live. That's all I could get at that time. Trust me, I would have bought everyone if they had them 😈 I would never then try to rip n ship them for 400% mark up that's the real crime!

[@FamRipsPokemon]

@PatriotJedi SV base is solid if you are sending to psa. Alot of good IRs
