Auride said:Furious Fists has lots of valuable cards at the moment, but we don't really know yet if any of those cards will retain their value, since the set is so new.
Boundaries Crossed is a lot more stable, and has some super valuable cards in it as well (Read: Landorus-EX), but there's certainly not as many overall. Additionally, BCR will rotate out long before FUF does, so it might drop in value sooner as well.
Just in terms of playable cards, though, unless your friend really wants to pull his Computer search and Landorus-EX's out of packs, Furious Fists is probably a better set. If he's literally just beginning, and doesn't know what deck to play, I might propose Plasma Blast or XY just for the staples, but that's up to him.

They seem like a solid deal to me but again I am just starting out and I don't know if I should just buy singles or get packs or decks and whatnot. Thank you for any replies!

It would help, if we knew your interests. Playing, collecting or both?
I will point out for about $10 more, you can get a sealed box on-line.

Boundaries Crossed has 6 Regular EXs.
I think both boxes have a 4 Ultrarare per box. Also if you get that Landy EX in Boundaries Crossed you could trade it off for a couple Keldeo EX. Also Keldeo EX was a tin promo.
If you want those Charizards get Flashfire. If you want some more valuable cards that you can trade for you should go for Furious Fists. If you want a lot of Shiny cards get Legendary Treasures because it has 10 EX pokemon and Radiant Collection is an extra bonus.vinni3winni3 said:Hi! I'm new to this forum and just got back to TCG. I'm looking for advice on which booster box I should get. I'm not getting into competitive battling, just having fun collecting them with my gf. Of the three booster boxes which two do you guys recommend on getting or any other booster boxes not mentioned. Furious fist, XY or legendary treasures?
Thanks
