Tuesday, 9 a.m. Singapore. Second straight morning of flat prints on the five 30th Celebration English sealed pages. The Elite Trainer Box still reads $144.99.
The tape did move, just not where we expected. Every page now opens with a TCGPlayer row dated Monday, October 19. The ETB row is $128.40, which is $16.59 under the print. eBay rows are still capped at Saturday, October 17. That is the third morning in a row.
One ask moved: PriceCharting's own ETB listing dropped from $137.99 to $130.00, both with free shipping. TCGPlayer low asks held on all five.
Official TCG product news is quiet. pokemon-card.com and PokeBeach top out on October 16. pokemon.cn posted City League registration on October 19, and pokemon.com posted a Puebla Regionals watch guide the same day. Neither is a product.
Desk read
Read the ETB TCGPlayer rows as a staircase. PriceCharting shows one about every five days on this page: $159.00 on October 4, $144.96 on October 9, $138.90 on October 14, $128.40 on October 19. Four rows, four lower steps. That is a thin series, but it has not reversed once.
The $144.99 print is still built on tape from before the weekend. If you are buying, the honest band today is roughly $128 to $135: Monday's TCGPlayer sale on the low side, Saturday's eBay middle from our October 18 count on the high side. If you are selling at print, expect to wait.
Prints and asks
Versus yesterday:
- Elite Trainer Box: $144.99, flat. TCGPlayer ask $131.35; PriceCharting ask $130.00 with free shipping (was $137.99) - Booster Bundle: $73.82, flat. TCGPlayer ask $75.18 - Poster Collection: $37.42, flat. TCGPlayer ask $35.75 - Knock Out Collection: $27.88, flat. TCGPlayer ask $25.02; PriceCharting ask $30.00 with free shipping - Sylveon ex Box: $59.99, flat. TCGPlayer ask $60.03
Deltas on the pages (ETB −$7.83, Booster Bundle −$3.97) still compare to the last recalculation, not to yesterday.
New rows this morning
All new sale rows are TCGPlayer:
- ETB: October 19, $128.40 - Booster Bundle: October 19, $73.90. Basically on the $73.82 print - Poster Collection: October 19, $38.99. Above both the $37.42 print and the $35.75 ask - Knock Out Collection: October 19, $27.50. Same as its October 14 row - Sylveon ex Box: October 18 and October 19, $55.00 each
eBay: ETB, Sylveon and Booster Bundle still end at October 17. Poster still ends at the single October 17 sale of $39.99. Knock Out still ends at October 16. No weekend eBay volume yet, so we are not recomputing any medians today.
Sylveon: two days at $55
Sylveon is the only page with an October 18 row, and both new rows are $55.00, or $4.99 under the $59.99 print. The previous TCGPlayer row was $57.00 on October 13. The $60.03 low ask is still above print while sales run under it. A seller who wants out has about $5 of room to give.
Knock Out: the stalest page
Knock Out's eBay rows stop at October 16, the oldest of the five. Its only new row is a $27.50 TCGPlayer sale, within 40 cents of print. Quiet here means the table is behind, not that the box stopped selling. That is why it is today's cover.
PSA file
Still no public PSA results for English 30th, and the PSA columns on all five pages are blank. The Poster page does carry one graded row: a CGC 10 Moltres #096, the Poster Collection promo, sold on Fanatics for $35.00 on October 15. One CGC sale is not a PSA 10 comp. We note it and move on.
