The Prints Moved, the Tape Didn't: Market Signals 2026-10-09

Keep the print and the tape apart today. The Booster Bundle print rose from $80.00 to $85.73 with zero new sales on the page. Poster Collection fell from $43.88 to $39.25, also with zero new rows. The ETB print climbed to $165.00 on the same morning its $199.00 outlier dropped off the list. PriceCharting does not publish how the print is built, and the desk cannot see what fed today's change, so do not read these moves as demand getting stronger or weaker. Price off the sales you can see. Single Bundles sold between $66.48 and $95.83 from October 2 to 6. No October 7 or 8 box sales have landed on any of the five pages yet. Check back over the weekend.

- Booster Bundle: $80.00 to $85.73, no new sale rows - Sylveon ex Box: $56.22 to $57.23, one new row - Elite Trainer Box: $159.24 to $165.00, four new rows, all dated September 29 - Poster Collection: $43.88 to $39.25, no new sale rows - Knock Out Collection: $29.99 to $30.21, two new rows

The print is PriceCharting's algorithm number at the top of each page. It is not a sale and not MSRP. Both days were read on Singapore mornings and compared row by row.

The [Booster Bundle](https://www.pricecharting.com/game/pokemon-30th-celebration/booster-bundle) sales list is the same as yesterday, row for row. The newest sale is still October 6, eBay, $89.91.

Single-box sales from October 2 to 6, leaving out the $135.00 two-bundles-plus-display lot: $76.00, $78.00, $81.00, $88.10, $74.90 (TCGPlayer), $66.48, $68.77, $95.83, $89.91. Six of those nine came in under the new $85.73 print. Sellers who list at the print are pricing above most of this week's tape.

[Elite Trainer Box](https://www.pricecharting.com/game/pokemon-30th-celebration/elite-trainer-box) print: $159.24 to $165.00.

The page itself moved the other way. Yesterday's October 7 row at $199.00, a "Fast Shipping" listing, is gone. So are three October 1 rows at $160.00, $158.99, and $154.58. In their place: four September 29 sales at $153.00, $145.00, $140.00, and a best-offer sale at $130.00 off a $150.00 list.

That leaves three October ETB sales on the page: October 4 on TCGPlayer at $159.00, and two October 1 eBay sales at $159.00 (a presale) and $150.00 (listed with a small rip). The page does not say whether the missing rows were flagged as bad or reclassified, and the desk will not guess. The useful read is that October ETB tape is thin, and a $165.00 print is resting on very little visible data.

[Sylveon ex Box](https://www.pricecharting.com/game/pokemon-30th-celebration/sylveon-ex-box) added one row: October 6, eBay, $44.50. That is the lowest October sale on the page, just under an October 2 row at $44.99. The print still went up, $56.22 to $57.23.

October 6 now shows two sales, $52.00 (best offer, listed at $54.89) and $44.50. Yesterday the desk said the Sylveon band was drifting down. This row points the same way. Buyers can skip asks above $60.

- [Poster Collection](https://www.pricecharting.com/game/pokemon-30th-celebration/poster-collection): print down to $39.25 with no new rows. The newest sealed sale is still October 5, eBay, $50.02. The October 7 row at $8.79 is the three bird promos alone, not a box; it is still filed on the sealed page. - [Knock Out Collection](https://www.pricecharting.com/game/pokemon-30th-celebration/knock-out-collection): print $30.21. Two late rows: October 4, eBay, $33.00 (best offer, listed at $33.40), and October 3, eBay, $24.99. Two older rows, October 1 at $22.99 and September 30 at $24.99, are no longer listed.

No 30th Celebration submissions are back yet, so pop stays off the desk. The practical note today: when you price a slab or a sealed box off PriceCharting, screenshot the sales rows with the read time, not just the print. Today the print and the rows went separate ways overnight.
