◆ Pokémon TCG // DISPATCH 05 · By AOM Editorial Desk · Sep 26, 2026
A recap of our first recorded eBay checks. Every figure below comes from a dated check or from an earlier dispatch; nothing is estimated.
The set launched worldwide Sep 16. A week and a half in, the honest headline is how little verified data exists. Most of the products named in these dispatches have no recorded eBay check yet. The ones that do have exactly one. One check is a starting point, not a trend.
What the checks recorded
- Booster Bundle (sealed): a median ask of $122.99 across 19 active listings. For reference, the list price is $26.94, and Dispatch 03 recorded a ~$94 presale ask on Sep 25. The bundle doesn't reach retail until Oct 2, so this is still a presale market.
- Single booster pack (sealed): a median ask of $19.99 across 35 active listings.
- Classic Collection cards: 25 of the 30 cards on the Dispatch 02 list now have a first check. Several are thin: Raikou had 1 listing and the Darkrai & Cresselia LEGEND top half had 4. Counts for Delcatty and N may include listings for other printings.
Elite Trainer Boxes, the Ultra-Premium Collections, the Binder Collection and the RGB Mew cards have no recorded check. We show no eBay price for them rather than borrow one.
Scored through Heat
We ran every dispatch scenario price through the Heat score, against each product's recorded listing counts and median. Only the Booster Bundle has enough data to score. At its recorded $122.99 median, the bundle reads Heat 50. Priced at the $26.94 list price, the same market would read Heat 28, because that price sits 78% below the recorded median and gets flagged as an outlier.
That gap is the story of a presale: asks built on scarcity before the product ships. Whether it holds after Oct 2 is exactly what the next checks will show. Run the full table on the reading desk, or open any scenario in the Heat simulator from the links after this article.
What to watch next
- Oct 2: the Booster Bundle and Mini Tins reach retail. Watch whether the bundle's ask narrows toward list.
- Second checks: once each product has two checks, price lines start drawing on the Pokémon card price history page.
- Thin reads: treat any product under 5 listings as unscored, not cheap or hot.
