UNITED STATES — The secondary market for Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration product is already active, with Elite Trainer Boxes and high-end singles drawing the most attention in the first 48 hours after launch.
MSRP for the standard Elite Trainer Box sits at $49.99. Some retailers have held that price, while others and third-party sellers have listed product higher amid strong demand.
To The Pokemon companies credit, MSRP was 49.99 for Celebrations ETB's & MSRP 4 the 30th Celebration ETB is 49.99. Blame it on the companies scalping it for 70 like Target & Wallys.

Price Trends
Early reports indicate some sealed product is trading above MSRP, particularly Pokémon Center exclusives and well-preserved ETBs. At the same time, several observers note that the relatively strong pull rates could put downward pressure on singles prices once more product is opened.

Collector Mood
Overall sentiment remains more positive than during some recent launches. Many collectors have expressed appreciation for the hit rates and the guaranteed Pikachu Rare in every pack, even while frustration with limited retail stock and secondary markups continues.
Shivam Das News will keep monitoring price movements and restock patterns as the first full week of the set progresses.
