Saturday, 9 a.m. Singapore. Delta Reign prereleases open today and run through November 1. But the loudest line on the desk sheet this morning belongs to an old SKU: the 30th Celebration Booster Bundle.
PriceCharting lifted the Bundle print from $69.21 to $81.14 overnight. That's +$11.93 in one recalculation. The same page carries 28 clean single-bundle eBay sales dated Friday, October 23. Their middle sits at $71.00 to $71.01. Twenty-five of the 28 cleared under the new print.
And the TCGPlayer ask didn't budge. Still $73.84. So the print is now $7.30 above what sellers are asking. A number built from sales is sitting on top of the asks.
Three other prints moved. Poster Collection $35.00 to $37.00. Knock Out Collection $25.95 to $22.15. Sylveon ex Box $55.07 to $52.67. ETB held at $117.26.
The desk read
The desk isn't buying the Bundle jump. Twenty-two of Friday's 28 sales landed between $64.86 and $74.99. Only three cleared above the new print: $83.49, $84.99, $92.79. The $81.14 print is hugging the top of the tape, not the middle.
It's the mirror of the ETB on October 22. That day the print got cut too far and fell under the sales. The sales walked down to meet it the next day. This time the print overshot upward. Expect it to come back toward the tape, not the tape to chase $81.
Selling a Bundle? Don't price off $81. Friday's real sales were $71 to $75. Buying? Against an $81 print the $73.84 ask looks like a deal. It's just the going rate.
Prints and asks

Not one ask moved. Four prints did. Today's changes are PriceCharting recalculating, not sellers repricing.
Booster Bundle: Friday's 28
All 30 eBay rows on the page are dated October 23:
- Cut two two-box lots at $120.33 and $139.95 - That leaves 28 singles, $49.99 to $92.79, mean about $72.05 - Five sales between $64.86 and $65.99. Seven more between $69.00 and $71.01 - The $49.99 low has a bare title, no language, no "sealed". It stays in the count but the desk wouldn't anchor on it
Yesterday's three "A" rows stamped October 23 ($62.55, $63.00, $60.00) are gone from the page. The page only shows the latest 30 rows, so they may have been pushed off, or pulled. Can't tell from here.
ETB: back to $120
Again all 30 rows dated October 23:
- Cut: $174.20 listed with a case; $119.95 with a tear in the wrapper - 28 left, $96.01 to $180.90, middle $120.00, mean about $122.63 - Four sales at exactly $120.00, three at $119.99. Friday orbited $120 - Eight of 28 under the $117.26 print
Weekly eBay middles so far: Tuesday $120.00, Wednesday $123.75, Thursday $115.50, Friday $120.00. The print runs a little light against that, not enough to call it off. Pull the $158.99 presale-titled row and the $180.90 high and the middle is still $120.00.
Poster, Knock Out, Sylveon
- Poster Collection: 30 rows on October 23. Three two-box lots cut ($61.00, $66.95, $79.99). 27 singles from $26.00 to $47.99, middle $37.00. Exactly the new print. Thursday's middle was $31.00, so that's a $6 swing in a day. The desk had the Poster print as too high for two days. Friday's tape rose to it. That call is withdrawn - Knock Out Collection: nine October 23 sales, $15.00 to $29.99, middle $23.50. The print fell to $22.15 and now sits right by the tape. The $15.00 row says "Boxes" in the title. One sale, not a floor - Sylveon ex Box: three sales at $40.00, $44.95, and $50.00. All under the $52.67 print. Right direction on the cut, not far enough yet. Three sales is thin, so no strong call
Prerelease weekend
Select Play! Pokémon stores start selling the Delta Reign Build & Battle Box today. Per pokemon.com: a 40-card ready-to-play deck, one of four foil promos (Masquerain, Magmortar, Enamorus, or Kommo-o), four Delta Reign boosters, and a Live code. Prerelease games are 40 cards with four Prizes. The set itself is November 6.
What it means if you collect rather than play:
- The Delta Reign hits that show up on eBay this week are prerelease pulls listed at asks. Not sales. First-week asks aren't a price - PokeBeach's English list (October 23) cut the full art Mega Rayquaza ex and the regular Eevee ex. The Kyogre Illustration Rare became the ETB promo. If you're chasing the Rayquaza full art, English packs won't have it - Too early for PSA. No street date, no pop, no sales. Anything sent now just waits in line
PSA file
English 30th sealed PSA columns are still empty. No new graded rows on the Poster page; the same two CGC 10 rows as before. Nothing to add.
