Minecraft Trading Card Boxes With Exclusive Inserts Are Up For Grabs At Amazon

Panini's 2024 Minecraft Trading Card products are in high demand, with many retailers sold out or limiting sales. Amazon has restocked two primary Minecraft card boxes: Blaster Boxes and Mega Boxes. The Blaster Box contains six booster packs (36 cards total) and features exclusive Cubic Parallel cards, while the Mega Box includes 12 booster packs with a higher likelihood of obtaining numbered cards. The complete set has 221 base cards, including 25 rare inserts for Minecraft's 15th anniversary. Availability at major retailers like GameStop and Walmart is limited, but local card shops may still have stock. Panini's offerings are strictly for collecting, not a trading card game.
