Which one should you get?
To open: the standard ETB. Every pack has the same odds, and the standard box costs $13.18 per pack against $26.73 at today's prices.
To keep sealed: the Pokémon Center ETB is the collector version, and it's only sold on pokemoncenter.com. Once that run sells out, resellers set the price. Buy it at MSRP on Pokémon Center if you can; paying today's resale price is a bet that it keeps rising.
