Market outlook
Stable Outlook 7/10
Pricing appears anchored by collector demand for a modern Secret Rare and by consistent grading premiums. Without major renewed game hype or a sudden population squeeze, the card is more likely to move gradually than spike dramatically.
Next months. Likely to remain range-bound with small fluctuations based on graded supply and marketplace activity.
Long term. Over 1-3 years, gradual appreciation is possible if sealed Critical Blow supply tightens and collector interest in DBSCG strengthens, with gem-mint copies likely retaining the strongest premium.
History
Bursting Rage (BT22-138) is a Secret Rare extra card from Dragon Ball Super Card Game: Critical Blow.

In DBSCG, Secret Rares are the chase cards of a set and typically feature iconic, high-impact artwork and effects that appeal to both players and collectors.

Collector notes
Condition. Check for whitening on edges and corners, surface scratches, centering, and any holo/scratch-line defects. Secret Rares often show print-line sensitivity, especially on dark or foil-heavy areas. Look carefully for edge wear from factory cutting and sleeve/play damage if pulled from packs.
Storage. Store immediately in a soft penny sleeve and rigid top loader or card saver, then keep in a dry, temperature-stable environment away from UV light. For higher-value copies, consider a semi-rigid holder and, if grading, avoid touching surfaces and corners.
Authenticity. Verify the exact card number BT22-138, set branding, and official DBSCG print quality. Authentic copies should have consistent holo treatment, crisp text, and proper back-print coloration. Reprints or counterfeits often show blurry text, incorrect foil patterns, off-color backs, or poor cut alignment. For graded copies, verify the slab serial and certification on the grader’s website. Special stamp references of 104 and 500 should be treated carefully; confirm any claimed special-stamp variant with authoritative photos and seller documentation because stamped promos/variants can be misrepresented.
