Oh, and I forgot about another TCG product that‘s coming out in a couple of months but if you know where to look you can get it as early as today.
This is the Pokémon TCG: Trick or Trade BOOster Bundle, it’s basically a 40-count bag of mini-packs containing three cards each. It’s basically meant to be a non-candy alternative you can hand out to trick-or-treaters during Halloween.
The theming is for this it’s basically on the packaging itself: the cards are basically Ghost/Psychic/Dark-types that match the season. Unlike the McDonald’s set all of these cards retain their original set symbols and numbers and not all of ‘em have the potential to be holo, but they do have a Pikachu Pumpkin-themed stamp on ‘em in a similar manner to other cards. The cards that are holo in the set consist of Mewtwo, Gengar, Mimikyu, Darkrai, Trevenant, Chandelure, Mismagius, Dusknoir, Gourgeist, and Hatterene.
As for the “scalping level” this product may have I‘d rate it as being low. None of the cards are particularly good in the competitive scene (Pumpkaboo has some use as a Stadium cleanser, Polteageist is a key part of the “Mad Party” deck archetype, and Mimikyu saw some play until the Dyna Tree Hill Stadium card came out) and none of the cards are of particular interest to collectors due to how easy they are to pull (reports show that the entire set can be completed with a single bag), the only way I could see someone making any money off these is if they squirrel ‘em away for a couple of years and either sell the packs or sell the entire bag. If you’re interested in picking these up for trick-or-treaters this year I’d wait until they reach a wider market come September 5th, a lot of stores will be getting these and they’ll only be $15.99 per bag unless your local scalpers are still breathing.
