"Best value" in sealed Pokemon product usually means one of two things: the lowest cost per booster pack, or the most useful contents for the money. Those two answers are not the same product, so this guide gives you both.
Every figure below is our current Australian-dollar listing price divided by the verified pack count for that format. No card values, no resale estimates and no claim that any of these will be worth more later. Availability changes, so check the current availability on the product page.

Price per pack, cheapest first
| Product | Price (AUD) | Packs | Price per pack |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ditto Premium Collection | A$110.00 | 8 | A$13.75 |
| Booster Bundle | A$84.00 | 6 | A$14.00 |
| Elite Trainer Box | A$150.00 | 9 | A$16.67 |

| Poster Collection | A$60.00 | 3 | A$20.00 |
What price per pack does and does not tell you
Price per pack is a fair way to compare formats only if you ignore everything else in the box — and in this range, most of the boxes exist because of everything else in the box. The Poster Collection looks the most expensive per pack at A$20.00, but it is the cheapest total spend at A$60.00 and it is the only format with the foil Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres promos.
The Booster Bundle is the honest baseline. It contains packs and nothing else, so its A$14.00 per pack is the closest thing to a plain pack price. Judge every other format by whether its extras are worth the difference to you.
How the extras change the maths
- Ditto Premium Collection — A$110.00. Lowest price per pack in the range at A$13.75, and you also get the Ditto promo and an acrylic card display. Strong on both measures of value.
- Elite Trainer Box — A$150.00. A$16.67 per pack, but includes 65 sleeves, 16 foil Basic Energy, six damage dice, a coin-flip die, a plastic coin, a player's guide, the foil Nidorina promo and a collector box with six dividers. If you would otherwise buy sleeves and storage, the effective pack cost drops.
- Binder Collection — A$95.00. A$19.00 per pack, and the only format with a commemorative 9-pocket binder. Value depends entirely on whether you want that binder.
- Poster Collection — A$60.00. Highest per pack at A$20.00, lowest total outlay, and three foil promos plus the poster.
- Booster Bundle — A$84.00. No extras to value, so nothing is hidden in the price.
