How do I know if a Pokemon card price is fair?
+×
Compare it with today's TCGplayer market price, which is what the product sells for online. A fair price is at or below today's TCGplayer market price, or at or below the store price (MSRP) when the market is lower. Up to 15% more than that is a bit high. More than 15% over is overpaying. For example, on October 9, 2026 the Phantasmal Flames Booster Bundle was $84.52 at market with a store price of $26.94, so a fair price is up to $84.52 and anything above $97.20 is overpaying. Every sealed product page on TickerMint shows this range and has a price checker.
What is the difference between an Elite Trainer Box, a booster bundle and a tin?
+×
An Elite Trainer Box has 9 booster packs plus card sleeves, dice and a sturdy box to keep cards in. A booster bundle has 6 booster packs in one small box. A tin is a metal tin with a few booster packs inside. A collection box has booster packs plus one or more special cards, sometimes with a figure, pin or poster. For a first gift, an Elite Trainer Box or a booster bundle from a recent set is the safest choice.
