How the market was

Market check: no change to our 30th Celebration reference prices. With no new completed-sales print, we're holding the Sept. 17 bands (standard Elite Trainer Box about $150–170 vs. $49.99 retail; RGB Mew Red $6–7k / Green about $8k / Blue about $5k). On our tracker, listing asks for the standard ETB sat at about $154 as of Monday morning, down from about $166 a week earlier. That's listing tape, not a completed-sales rewrite.

Day movers

  • Pokémon, 30th Celebration ETB (standard): $150–170, unchanged, vs $49.99 retail (ICv2, Sep 17).
  • Pokémon, RGB Mew: Red $6–7k / Green ~$8k / Blue ~$5k, unchanged (ICv2, Sep 17). Asks aren't completed sales.

    Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration at Dollar General

    Dollar General has started stocking Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration product, according to Polygon, with the Elite Trainer Box at $50, ex boxes at $25 and the Poster Collection at $16. Polygon also points to Dollar General's toy promo (25% off toy purchases of $75 or more, through Dec. 24), but says stock is hit-or-miss by store and that Dollar General doesn't enforce strict purchase limits.

    God Packs and booster changes for 2027

    Wizards of the Coast announced Monday that it's overhauling Magic boosters starting with Nauctis: The Sunken Realm, the first set of 2027. God Packs arrive in every Magic Multiverse set, hitting 1 in 1,000 Booster Packs (14 rares or mythics) and 1 in 300 Collector Boosters. Play Boosters are being renamed simply "Booster Packs," which will lose foil commons and uncommons and no longer guarantee a foil, while traditional-foil Japan Showcase cards join the wildcard slot. Wizards says prices aren't changing.
