Have you been trying to get your hands on Pokémon TCG's 30th Anniversary Celebration Booster Bundles without paying an arm and a leg? Well, Amazon just restocked its allocation, and they're going for just $45. That's a steal compared to the current market rate of around $122.64 on TCGplayer.
If you're having trouble adding the bundle to your cart, try clicking the "See All Buying Options" prompt. That should let you preorder from "Amazon.com" directly—sold and shipped by Amazon, not some sketchy third-party seller. At $45, you're saving just over $77 compared to resellers. That's likely the best deal you'll find on this set all year, and probably next year too. And the year after that. Sure, it's still $20 above MSRP, but given the crazy market, it's practically a gigantic discount.
Amazon is set to ship these out at the start of October and will keep taking preorders until the entire allocation is gone. My advice? Snag at least two or three while you can. This is undoubtedly your best shot at securing boosters for the 30th anniversary set, especially since the Elite Trainer Boxes are still invite-only at $89.99. If you get an invite, great; if not, you're out of luck.
If either the ETB or booster set goes up in price or sells out, keep checking back—Amazon is constantly changing prices and adding new waves of stock. If you're patient, this will be the best place to buy through the rest of the year.
The 30th anniversary set has been notoriously hard to get ever since preorders went live. It's now officially available globally, but that doesn't mean the hunt slows down. The secondary market is in absolute chaos, with queues stretching out the doors at retailers worldwide. To give you an idea of where things are settling, we've also pulled the median market prices per TCGplayer for the top 10 highest-value cards in the set, so you know what to look out for when ripping packs.
