Pokémon TCG's Perfect Order expansion is getting hammered on the resale market, and collectors hunting bargains should take notice.
Elite Trainer Boxes for the set are now hovering around $70 on TCGplayer, with some listings dipping under $60. That represents a stunning collapse compared to the red-hot Ascended Heroes, where ETBs have climbed past $157 in recent weeks, a gain of more than 28% in just over a month.
The bargains extend beyond just the ETBs. Booster Bundles from Perfect Order are sitting at roughly $37 on TCGplayer, though Amazon has them listed at $46.95.
The root cause is straightforward: Perfect Order simply hasn't resonated with players and collectors. The expansion contains only 120 unique cards and lacks the marquee chase pulls that typically drive demand. Investors and casual buyers are already pivoting toward upcoming releases like Chaos Rising or doubling down on the scarce Ascended Heroes inventory instead.
But dismissing Perfect Order entirely would be premature. Despite the tepid overall reception, the set does contain legitimate valuable pulls worth chasing, particularly for collectors who want solid returns without the premium pricing attached to hotter releases. The window to capitalize on these low prices won't stay open forever, especially if word spreads about remaining gems in the set.
Author Emily Chen: "Perfect Order's collapse is a reminder that TCG prices are brutal and volatile, but smart collectors can absolutely exploit this moment before the set becomes fashionable again."
