The Pokémon Pitch Black Booster Bundle has slipped below $40 on Amazon, putting the six-pack Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution box at $39.95 as of July 29.
Amazon lists the bundle at $39.95, down from a $50.98 list price. That makes the discount $11.03, or 22%, according to the pricing shown on Amazon.
Price tracker camelcamelcamel lists $39.95 as the lowest Amazon price yet for this Pitch Black Booster Bundle. The box had recently been available for $43.13 on Amazon, which worked out to about $7.18 per booster pack, while the new price comes to roughly $6.66 per pack before tax.
Where is the Pokémon Pitch Black Booster Bundle on sale?
Amazon is selling and shipping the Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution Pitch Black Booster Bundle directly, according to the listing details cited for the deal. Delivery is listed for Aug. 3, or Aug. 1 for Prime members, as of the July 29 pricing check.
There is one catch for buyers: Amazon marks the Booster Bundle as a final sale item. That means the order cannot be returned after purchase, according to Amazon’s listing terms.
TCGplayer is also showing unopened Pitch Black Booster Bundles starting at $39.95 with shipping included, matching Amazon’s headline price. The TCGplayer market information cited for the deal puts that price 46 cents above market price.
What comes in the Pitch Black Booster Bundle?
The bundle contains six sealed booster packs from the Mega Evolution Pitch Black expansion. Each booster pack includes 10 Pokémon trading cards, one Basic Energy card, and one Pokémon TCG Live code card, according to the product details.
That gives buyers 60 standard trading cards across the box before counting the Basic Energy cards. The bundle is aimed at players and collectors who want sealed Pitch Black packs rather than individual cards.
The Pitch Black expansion includes several chase cards that can be worth hundreds of dollars on the secondary market, according to the deal information citing TCGplayer listings. The five most valuable named cards are SIR Mega Darkrai ex, MHR Mega Darkrai ex, SIR Morpeko ex, SIR Mega Zeraora ex, and SIR Mega Chandelure ex.
As with any sealed trading card product, the contents of individual packs are randomized. Buyers chasing specific cards can also purchase those cards separately on TCGplayer, where individual listings are available.
