I am unable to keep in mind the final time considered one of these unhealthy boys was accessible wherever close to market worth from a significant retailer. Sure, it is nonetheless effectively above the unique MSRP, however that is sadly the state of the Pokémon TCG market proper now. Should you’re keen to pay the premium, Amazon is at the moment one of many higher locations to choose one up.
TCGplayer has a median itemizing worth of round $150, whereas its present market worth sits at $120.18. When you consider supply prices as effectively, Amazon’s $115.98 worth begins to look fairly cheap, significantly on condition that it is offered and shipped instantly by Amazon.
Should you’ve been ready for a restock, that is most likely one price contemplating whereas the inventory lasts. These do not have a tendency to hold round for lengthy after they seem at main retailers.
The Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Destined Rivals Elite Coach Field consists of:
- 9 Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Destined Rivals booster packs
- 65 card sleeves
- 45 Pokémon TCG Vitality playing cards

Destined Rivals continues to be a extremely wanted set, even over a yr since its launch. Simply above you possibly can see the high 10 costliest playing cards from the set, together with the chaser Workforce Rocket’s Mewtwo ex (231/182) which nonetheless sells for round $450-$500 at TCGplayer.
I additionally wish to emphasize that this Destined Rivals ETB is “offered and shipped” instantly from Amazon itself, and never by way of any third-party sellers.
However is it price it selecting up the ETB at this worth? That is finally as much as you. The “market worth” is solely what individuals are at the moment keen to pay, and that does not essentially imply it is good worth. Sadly, discovering Pokémon TCG merchandise at MSRP has turn out to be more and more tough, and market costs are sometimes what collectors are compelled to pay, even when shopping for from main retailers like Amazon.
Should you’re trying to find extra Pokémon TCG restocks, make sure to try our customized Amazon search tracker. It is a helpful method to ensure you’re selecting up sealed merchandise which are really “offered and shipped” instantly by Amazon, relatively than a third-party vendor.

Each the Prismatic SPCs and First Associate Collections are additionally roughly in keeping with present market costs, so you are not paying an enormous premium to choose them up from Amazon proper now.
What’s Coming Subsequent for the Pokémon TCG?
