The listing comes from third-party seller BetterShopping4You, with Prime delivery estimated for Oct. 5-6. That price now sits just $1.68 above the $77.31 market value TCGplayer estimates for an unopened box, and it beats the cheapest legitimate TCGplayer listing at $79.10. Walmart, by comparison, is charging $84.99 for the same box.\n\nElite Trainer Boxes rarely dip near their actual resale value - retailers usually price them well above what secondary markets bear, banking on impulse buys from anyone chasing the box's exclusive promo card. A gap this small is unusual enough to flag, especially with a chase card involved: this box includes a full-art foil Zarude promo, plus nine booster packs, sleeves, energy cards, dice, and a TCG Live code.\n\nIt's not a steal, but paying within two dollars of market rate for a sealed product beats hunting singles later - especially with the SIR Mega Darkai ex from this same set already fetching over $180 on its own.","[\"pokemon-tcg\",\"deals\",\"trading-cards\",\"amazon\"]","2026-09-25T10:18:18.000Z","2026-09-25T23:15:00.363Z","2026-09-25T23:15:07.428Z","published",null,[],"deals",[26,24,27,28],"pokemon-tcg","trading-cards","amazon",[30],{"name":31,"url":32},"Mashable","https:\u002F\u002Fmashable.com\u002Flife\u002Fsept-25-pokemon-tcg-pitch-black-elite-trainer-box-deal",0,{"sections":35},[36,41,46,51,55,60,65,70,75,80,85,90,95,100],{"name":37,"slug":38,"count":39,"latest_published_at":40},"AI","ai",4518,"2026-09-25T16:31:14.000Z",{"name":42,"slug":43,"count":44,"latest_published_at":45},"Security","security",740,"2026-09-25T15:52:13.000Z",{"name":47,"slug":48,"count":49,"latest_published_at":50},"Policy","policy",390,"2026-09-25T16:24:59.000Z",{"name":52,"slug":24,"count":53,"latest_published_at":54},"Deals",254,"2026-09-25T15:26:22.000Z",{"name":56,"slug":57,"count":58,"latest_published_at":59},"Hardware","hardware",185,"2026-09-25T15:00:22.000Z",{"name":61,"slug":62,"count":63,"latest_published_at":64},"Science","science",139,"2026-09-25T11:55:23.000Z",{"name":66,"slug":67,"count":68,"latest_published_at":69},"Consumer Tech","consumer-tech",132,"2026-09-25T15:30:00.000Z",{"name":71,"slug":72,"count":73,"latest_published_at":74},"Software","software",88,"2026-09-24T23:06:55.000Z",{"name":76,"slug":77,"count":78,"latest_published_at":79},"Dev Tools","dev-tools",82,"2026-09-25T09:59:40.000Z",{"name":81,"slug":82,"count":83,"latest_published_at":84},"Startups","startups",75,"2026-09-25T16:39:42.000Z",{"name":86,"slug":87,"count":88,"latest_published_at":89},"Gaming","gaming",47,"2026-09-25T13:33:16.000Z",{"name":91,"slug":92,"count":93,"latest_published_at":94},"General","general",46,"2026-09-25T02:12:57.000Z",{"name":96,"slug":97,"count":98,"latest_published_at":99},"Reviews","reviews",30,"2026-09-24T20:07:31.000Z",{"name":101,"slug":102,"count":103,"latest_published_at":104},"How-To","how-to",6,"2026-06-16T09:00:00.000Z"]
