The Pokémon TCG: 30th Celebration Booster Bundle and the 30th Celebration Mini Tins came out on October 2, 2026. They were the last big 30th Celebration products to hit stores before the Ultra-Premium Collections in November. Before release, nearly every eBay sale was a presale. Now there are real boxes in people's hands, so we checked what they actually sold for.
Short version: Booster Bundles came down a little, Mini Tin displays held, and loose single tins don't leave much room.
What's in each product
According to Pokémon's product gallery, the Booster Bundle launched October 2 and has six booster packs of 30th Celebration. Each pack has one of 30 different Pikachu rare cards.
Target's listing says each Mini Tin has:
- 2 30th Celebration booster packs
- 1 sticker sheet
- 1 art card matching the tin, with 10 designs to collect and combine
- A Pokémon TCG Live code card
The tins come in random styles unless you buy a sealed 10-tin display.
Retail price vs. MSRP
PokéBeach's set guide lists the MSRP at $26.94 for the Booster Bundle and $9.99 for a Mini Tin. Not every store sells at MSRP:
| Product | MSRP | Target (listed before release) | Walmart drawing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Booster Bundle | $26.94 | $31.99 | $39.97 each (sold as a 2-pack, $79.94) |
| Mini Tin | $9.99 | $12.99 | $12.97 each (10-tin display, $129.70) |
Outside price guides reported Target's $31.99 and $12.99 prices before release. When we checked Target on October 4, both listings were out of stock and Target wasn't showing a price. The Mini Tin listing said "289k+ bought in last month." That's a lot of tins in one month, so single tins aren't scarce (more on their prices below).
The Walmart prices are from the Walmart 30th Celebration drawing we covered on September 30.
What Booster Bundles sold for after release
We checked eBay sold listings on October 4 and looked at single, sealed English Booster Bundles. We left out lots, presales and bundles sold with other products.
- October 3: about 59 sales. Most were between $63 and $70, and the middle price was about $69.
- October 4 (so far): about 37 sales. Most were between $60 and $72, and the middle price was about $70. The lowest was $50.
On September 30, before release, most single Bundle sales were $71 to $85.61, and nearly all of them were presales. So the price has come down by roughly $5 to $15 now that stock is shipping. That's normal. Presale buyers pay extra to be first.
Bundles are still selling for more than twice MSRP. But they're also sold at a lot of stores, and more will keep showing up. We'd expect prices to drift down slowly, not hold steady. That's a guess based on how big releases usually go, not a promise.
What Mini Tin displays and single tins sold for
Sealed 10-tin displays held up much better:
- October 1: about 47 sales, middle price about $249
- October 2: about 71 sales, middle price about $254, most between $240 and $270
- October 3: about 50 sales, middle price about $250, most between $230 and $275
That's right in line with the $245 to $274.95 presales we saw on September 30. Release didn't bring the price down.
Single loose tins are a different story. On October 3, about 48 single tins sold, mostly for $24 to $35, with a middle price of about $30. A sealed display is worth more than 10 random loose tins because buyers get every design and know the tins haven't been searched.
The fee math
eBay's final value fee for Collectible Card Games is 13.25% of the total sale (up to $7,500), plus $0.40 per order over $10. eBay counts shipping and sales tax in that total, so real fees come out a little higher than the numbers below.
- Booster Bundle sold for $69, free shipping: about $9.54 in fees leaves $59.46. After a $6 to $9 shipping label, you net about $50 to $53. A Target Bundle at $31.99 plus tax costs about $34, so that's about $16 to $19 of profit. At MSRP, it's closer to $21 to $24.
- Mini Tin display sold for $250, free shipping: about $33.53 in fees leaves $216.47. After a $10 to $14 label, you net about $202 to $206. Against Walmart's $129.70 plus tax, that's about $63 to $67 of profit.
- Single Mini Tin sold for $30, free shipping: about $4.38 in fees leaves $25.62. After a $5 label, you net about $20.60. Against Target's $12.99 plus tax, that's only about $6 to $7 of profit per tin, and that's before your time packing ten separate orders.
Can you return them?
Check this before you buy extra to flip:
- Target: Target's returns help page says that since January 30, 2023, trading cards and trading card accessories, Pokémon included, can't be returned.
- Walmart drawing orders: Walmart places the order for you if you win, so read the order details and return terms on your order page before you count on sending anything back.
If you can't return it, plan to sell it or keep it. Don't buy extra assuming a store will take it back.
Slumpd's read
Slumpd runs our Pokémon information. Before the October 2 release, he said in our Discord that he thought Booster Bundles still had room even at a store charging $40 or more. On single Mini Tins, he said he personally wouldn't pay much more than about $20. That's his opinion, not a promise, but the sales so far line up with it: Bundles are still well above $40, and single tins at $30 don't leave much after fees.
Flip, hold or pass?
Flip: Booster Bundles bought near MSRP or at Target's $31.99 still clear a profit at today's prices. If you have extras, selling sooner looks better than later, because Bundles are widely stocked and presale prices have already come down.
Hold: Sealed Mini Tin displays are the better fit for holding. They held their presale price through release week, and collectors want all 10 designs. If you won a Walmart display, there's no rush to sell.
Pass: Paying more than about $20 for a single loose tin to resell it, or paying more than $40 for a single Bundle to flip. At those prices, eBay fees and shipping eat most of the gap. And don't buy presale listings that "ship in October" at higher prices than in-hand boxes are selling for.
This is analysis, not a prediction. Pokémon prices can move fast, especially with the 30th Celebration Ultra-Premium Collections still coming.
