The Print Sat Still, the Sales Came In Low: Market Signals 2026-10-10

Yesterday the print moved and the tape didn't. Today it's the reverse, and the tape leaned low. The Booster Bundle took a $66.38 sale, the lowest single-box sale of this run and $19.35 under its $85.73 print. The new TCGPlayer sales on the ETB, Poster Collection, and Knock Out Collection all came in under their prints too. Sylveon ex Box went the other way, with two sales above $62. One sale per page is not a trend. But if you plan to list at the print this weekend, today's tape is not backing you up. Price off the rows.

- Booster Bundle: print $85.73, unchanged. New: October 9, TCGPlayer, $66.38 - Sylveon ex Box: print $57.23, unchanged. New: October 8, TCGPlayer, $62.99; October 9, TCGPlayer, $62.50 - Elite Trainer Box: print $165.00, unchanged. New: October 9, TCGPlayer, $144.96; October 9, eBay, $257.88; October 8, eBay, $250.00 (a two-box listing) - Poster Collection: print $39.25, unchanged. New: October 9, TCGPlayer, $34.00, plus three late-September eBay sales - Knock Out Collection: print $30.21, unchanged. New: October 9, TCGPlayer, $22.00

The print is PriceCharting's algorithm number at the top of each page. It is not a sale and not MSRP. Sale dates are as the page shows them. 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) page went two days without a new row, then added October 9 on TCGPlayer at $66.38. That edges under the previous low of $66.48 from October 4.

Single-box sales from October 2 to 9, leaving out the $135.00 two-bundles-plus-display lot, now number ten. Seven of the ten are below $85.73. There are still no October 7 or 8 rows. Weekend eBay sales tend to land late, so the desk will recheck on Monday.

Three new [Elite Trainer Box](https://www.pricecharting.com/game/pokemon-30th-celebration/elite-trainer-box) rows, far apart:

- October 9, TCGPlayer, $144.96 - October 9, eBay, $257.88, listed as a single new and sealed box - October 8, eBay, $250.00, with a title that opens with "2". That is two boxes, or $125.00 each

Skim the list and the $250.00 row looks like a second high single. It isn't. Two of yesterday's four late September 29 rows, $153.00 and $140.00, have dropped off again. The $257.88 sale is the highest single ETB on the page this run. It's one sale, so the desk is noting it, not pricing off it.

Yesterday the desk said the Sylveon band was drifting down and that buyers could skip asks above $60. This morning the [Sylveon ex Box](https://www.pricecharting.com/game/pokemon-30th-celebration/sylveon-ex-box) page added two TCGPlayer sales: $62.99 on October 8 and $62.50 on October 9. Both are above $60 and above the $57.23 print.

The October 6 rows at $44.50 and $52.00 are still listed, so the visible October band now runs from $44.50 to $62.99. That's wide. A low-$60s price is not out of line, and yesterday's call was too firm.

- [Poster Collection](https://www.pricecharting.com/game/pokemon-30th-celebration/poster-collection): October 9, TCGPlayer, $34.00, which is $5.25 under the print. The promo-only rows are gone from the sealed page: the $8.79 row flagged here yesterday and a $19.99 row, both just the three bird promos. Three late-September eBay sales were added instead: $43.99 on September 28, and $37.99 and $40.00 on September 27. - [Knock Out Collection](https://www.pricecharting.com/game/pokemon-30th-celebration/knock-out-collection): October 9, TCGPlayer, $22.00, which is $8.21 under the $30.21 print. It's the Eevee box on today's cover.

- [30th CELEBRATION EVENT entry page](https://www.30th.pokemon-card.com/event/30thevent/entry): the "30th CELEBRATION Scramble Battle" pass for Osaka day two (November 1) is taking extra entries for 400 afternoon slots. Entry runs October 9, 14:00 to October 14, 12:00 Japan time, which is 13:00 to 11:00 in Singapore. Results go out October 16 at 17:00 Japan time. Entry is through the LINE event account and needs a linked Players Club ID. - [Champions League 2027 Chiba](https://www.pokemon-card.com/info/005666.html): November 22 to 23 at Makuhari Messe, Halls 4 to 6. Players must register in advance, with no day-of entry. General spectator entry is free with no lottery.

Neither notice moves prices today. Venue merch and event-exclusive product for Chiba haven't been announced. The desk will pick that up when they are.

- China: Advanced Tournament Autumn registration ([pokemon.cn 24035](https://www.pokemon.cn/tcg/event/24035.html)) closes **Sunday, October 11, 23:59:59**, China time, which is Singapore time too. Lottery results by October 12. RED LAND2026 specials ([23879](https://www.pokemon.cn/tcg/event/23879.html)) still show no champions or deck lists. - Santa Cruz blind-bag boards: October 17, seven days out. - US: Deck Crafter's Collection on October 23; 30th Celebration Battle Decks (Espeon ex, Umbreon ex) on October 30, per [pokemon.com](https://www.pokemon.com/us/news/check-out-every-pokemon-tcg-product-release-in-october-2026). - Delta Reign prereleases October 24 to November 1, set release November 6.

No 30th Celebration submissions are back, so pop stays off the desk. Today's habit: count the units before you use a comp. The $250.00 ETB row was two boxes, and the Poster page was carrying promo-only sales until this morning. The same mistake shows up on slab comps when a listing bundles two graded cards.
