Pokémon TCG: Perfect Order ETBs and More Reach All-Time Lows on Resale Markets

Reception to Pokémon TCG's latest expansion, Perfect Order, has been lukewarm at most.

But, and that's a mighty but, it is good news for those who simply want to buy Pokémon cards at a reasonable price.

Perfect Order has a rock bottom market value right now on resale markets like eBay and TCGplayer, meaning you can find deals and reasonably priced boosters on the expansion much easier than other recent sets like the wildly popular Ascended Heroes.

For example, Perfect Order's Elite Trainer Boxes are hovering at $70 market value at TCGplayer right now, with some listings even under $60.

That's mental!

Compare that to Ascended Heroes, where ETBs have skyrocketed to a market value of over $157 in recent weeks.

That's a +28.42% rise in just over a month.

Respect to anyone who picked one up when they were closer to $120.

But, that's not all for Perfect Order bargains right now as well, as you can also score Booster Bundles from just $46.95 at Amazon, or around $37 market value at TCGplayer.

So what's the deal with the crash in price?

Well as I mentioned, Perfect Order hasn't been a fan favorite so far, mainly due to the fact that it only has 120 unique cards to collect, with no typical chase cards.

Plus, plenty of trainers are already looking ahead to Chaos Rising, or simply chasing the hard to come by Ascended Heroes sets right now as well.

But that’s not to say the latest Pokémon expansion is completely worthless, as we recently went through and dug out the most expensive pulls you can find in Perfect Order, based on current third-party resell information.

Surprisingly, there are quite a few gems you can still find in this set, despite the limited number of unique cards up for grabs.

If you want to chase some tidy cards with a solid chase for a decent return, Perfect Order might be best set to do it with right now.

I'd also suggest starting before everyone else catches on to the play as well.
