Overview

Noble Victories is a 102-card expansion from the Black & White series, released on November 16, 2011. The set features full-art cards and Pokemon-EX alongside the standard mix of Pokemon, Trainer, and Energy cards. Notable cards include Meowth, N, Cobalion, Terrakion.

Best for

  • Collectors into early full arts and BW EX structure
  • collectors pricing Noble Victories (2011, 102 cards) as BW / full-art transition cardboard — not as generic “old cards”
  • people building around Cobalion / Terrakion without pretending bulk pays the same

Skip this path if

  • you want only sealed modern product and zero binder work
  • you expect every card in Noble Victories to carry similar resale (bulk is bulk)

Common mistakes

If you only remember one thing about Noble Victories: Cobalion / Terrakion is not interchangeable with every other print of those Pokemon. People still get burned by pricing by “it’s BW” instead of the specific expansion’s full arts and EX lines, then argue condition after they already overpaid. Confirm bw3 / the set symbol before comps — “BW / full-art transition lot” language is how wrong products get mixed.

What to check first

Verify set membership (bw3) and collector number against a checklist before you pay full-art money. Condition pass on Cobalion / Terrakion before negotiation. Finish with a checklist gap list so you are not “completing” only the bulk.

The top chase cards from Noble Victories include Meowth, N, Cobalion. Full art, secret rare, and alternate art variants carry the highest premiums. Other collectible cards include Terrakion, Victini, Virizion. Condition matters — near-mint copies command significantly higher prices than played cards.

Tips to finish the set

Noble Victories contains 102 cards. Start with the common and uncommon base, which is typically affordable. Focus singles purchases on the holo rares and ultra rares that are hardest to pull from packs. Set a budget before chasing secret rares.
