Costco Pokémon Cards Right Now? 30th Celebration Price

· 4 min read · By the Friends & Family team

Costco has reportedly been getting 30th Celebration and Ascended Heroes Pokémon product in waves, warehouse by warehouse. Here's where to look, what it costs, and what the Costco combo sells for on eBay.

Does Costco have Pokémon cards right now? Possibly, but only in warehouses. When we searched Costco.com on October 31, 2026, it showed no Pokémon trading card products (only things like a puzzle, a video game and dog toys). Pokémon cards at Costco show up on warehouse floors location by location, and Costco has not published an announcement we could find.

Here is what is reported: a 30th Celebration Elite Trainer Box + Booster Bundle combo (Costco item #2007496, about $57.49 to $57.99) and Ascended Heroes mini tins, with a limit of 1 per member on the latest wave. That combo has sold on eBay for roughly $160 to $180 this week, about three times the Costco price.

Does Costco have Pokémon cards online?

Not that we could find. Our October 31 search of Costco.com for Pokémon trading cards returned no card products. Trackers say the same: this fall's boxes appear on warehouse shelves first, and online drops, when they happen, are brief. So "does Costco have Pokémon cards in stock near me" is a local question. Check your warehouse's inventory in the Costco app, or call the warehouse. Stock varies by building, and we cannot tell you any single location has it.

What is the Costco 30th Celebration combo, and what does it cost?

According to collector trackers (not Costco itself):

  • Contents: one 30th Celebration Elite Trainer Box (9 booster packs) plus one Booster Bundle (6 packs), about 15 packs in total. For the ETB's contents, see our 30th Celebration ETB breakdown.
  • Price: $57.49 was the last warehouse price a tracker recorded around October 15, and $57.99 was the expected price. We could not verify an official Costco product page, so treat both as reported.
  • Item number: #2007496, per collector reports.
  • Earlier wave: trackers put the first warehouse arrivals around October 11 to 17, West Coast first, with stock selling out soon after.

For reference, the standard 30th Celebration ETB retails for $49.99, per our earlier coverage.

Costco Pokémon cards price: Ascended Heroes mini tins

One collector report lists an Ascended Heroes mini tin multi-pack at about $76.49 for 10 mini tins (about 20 packs plus promo cards), limit 1 per membership. We could not confirm that on Costco's own site, so it is unconfirmed. On eBay, sealed Costco five-pack listings sold for about $85 to $102, and two-box (10 tin) listings for about $180 to $190 (October 30 to 31).

What does the Costco combo sell for on eBay?

Checked on October 31, 2026 (eBay completed, sold listings for the Costco 30th Celebration ETB + Booster Bundle):

  • Typical sale: $160 to $180, with many at $168 to $175 (October 23 to 31)
  • Low end: $139 (October 30)
  • Higher outliers: a few multi-pack or bundle listings sold from about $200 to $430

Against a $57.49 to $57.99 cost, that is a gap of roughly $100 or more per combo before fees and shipping. For comparison, the standard 30th Celebration ETB sold for about $130 to $160 when we checked on October 2.

Costco Pokémon limit and how buying works

  • Membership: you need a Costco membership to buy in the warehouse.
  • Limit: 1 per member on the latest wave in our reporting. Trackers say earlier drops allowed 2 or more, and enforcement varies by warehouse. Treat any number as a guide, not a rule.
  • Timing: stock lands warehouse by warehouse. Don't trust any "in stock now" post, ours included, after the first few hours.

Costco's return policy for Pokémon cards

Costco says it has a 100% satisfaction guarantee with few exceptions, and that some items must be returned within 90 days, per its customer service page (checked October 31, 2026). We did not see trading cards named as an exception on the page we read, but we could not confirm how Costco treats opened or sealed cards, so ask Member Services before you plan around returns. Other retailers differ: Best Buy lists Pokémon cards as nonreturnable.

The math: should you resell Costco Pokémon?

eBay's rate for Collectible Card Games is 13.25% of the total sale (item plus shipping you charge) up to $7,500, plus $0.40 per order over $10 (eBay selling fees, checked October 31, 2026). An illustration with a $57.99 combo, a $170 sale and about $8 shipping charged to the buyer at cost:

  • Fees: 13.25% of $178 plus $0.40, about $24
  • Net after fees and shipping: about $146 before sales tax
  • Profit over cost: about $88

That is an estimate, and sold prices move fast, especially as more combos get listed.

Flip, hold or pass?

This is analysis, not a promise. At a cost near $58, the Costco combo has a real spread right now, and the membership limit keeps volume down. The risks are that it is luck of the location (you can't plan a run), that more stock can pull prices down within days, and that most of the Costco details come from trackers instead of Costco. If you find one, a flip makes sense within your limit. We would not pay eBay prices for it, and we would not chase it past your limit.
