This video demonstrates how to find the best pre-order prices for Pokemon card sets by comparing multiple retailers. The creator visits stores like Smoking Mirrors, Rare Candy, Real Good Deal, Common Lands, Pokey Unlimited, Shiny Packs, and Spoils and Loot to compare prices for sets including Abyss Iron Chaos Rising, Crown Zenith, and Pitch Black. Key findings include: Smoking Mirrors offers 151 bundles for $200 with free shipping; Rare Candy has the cheapest Chaos Rising booster box at $225; Real Good Deal offers Perfect Order packs for $17; Common Lands sells Crown Zenith packs for $20 (4 under market); and Spoils and Loot offers Abyss I for $97 with free shipping over $200. The video emphasizes that while MSRP is $15, actual market prices are significantly higher, and strategic shopping across multiple retailers can yield substantial savings.

Pokemon Card Deals & Steals (May 13-14)Added:
Pre-orders for Abyss Iron Chaos Rising and Crown Zenith is on sale.
>> [music] >> Grass Gang, we are back with another Deals and Steals video every Monday, Wednesday, Friday. We stop into a bunch of stores trying to save us both some money on Pokémon cards. So, today I don't have any places where we could really pre-order these series two for the first partner, but I did want to show them off and forgot to do that on Monday. I'm sure a lot of us have seen them already. But honestly, I think I'm liking this more than the series one or the first series they made. Let me know what you guys are thinking, but I think the arts on point pretty big fan of these gens. I mean gen two, gen five, and gen eight. And shout out to Poki Beach of course for all the info. Looks like it is coming out June 19th for $15 obviously the MSRP that I don't know we will ever see.
>> And it's gone. It's also going to have the perfect order pack and the Chaos Rising pack. So, not that that really matters. Nobody's really buying those for the packs. I guess the series one would win out with the mega and the fantasma over the Chaos Rising perfect order. But really thinking between the art and the generations here, I think I prefer these for sure. The gen twos really hitting for me. I like the black and white on the black white starters.
Sword and Shield, there's a lot going on here, but I still like them. They're a big fan of Grookey and Scorbunny for sure. Let me know what you guys think if we like series one or series two and if we think we'll ever find them for $15.
Let's get right into our stores. If you wouldn't mind hit that like and hit that hype button really help this video out would be appreciated. All right, going to start off today at Smoking Mirrors.
They got a bunch of stuff in stock a lot of Pokémon Center ETBs. Also have 151 bundles. This is definitely not the only store of the day selling them for 200, but I think Smoking Mirrors with their free shipping and stuff will probably be the best place to be buying them. TCG Player Market's been a little weird. I thought I saw these get up to like 215, 220. I think today I'll bring the price.
I think it's like 207 something like that. But I've kind of been thinking this myself about maybe just picking them up cuz they're all over the place right now and I really don't like it's ever going to drop to under $200 a bundle. So, I'm asking myself why not just start buying these now when they're all over the place for 200. And then they also got some Crown Zenith here. I was looking up the prices. I mean I think the bundle might be at market price maybe a couple dollars under.
Looks like the box and the tin might be over market price. Twilight ETB I think just got up to to 110 or something like that. There's a Twilight ETB for 100.
They do have First Partner for 47 and they might not have a limit. That's really the best thing on this site right now. They also have the mini portfolios of Fantasmos. I would definitely buy these if you're going to shop here. $6 to get a pack of Fantasmo. There's only a limit of two is the only problem there, but if you're buying something, might as well throw those two in the cart. Fantasmo is definitely more than $6 a pack and then the First Partner for 47 is probably the best thing on the website right now. I mean like a $56 market, so like $10 under market price.
Going over to Rare Candy, what do you got?
>> Will you look in my eyes, Frank? I got no candy for you. See some candy? Couple exclusive drops possibly. They do have the best sticker price of the day on a Chaos Rising booster box. We also have another store that's a little more expensive, but the checkout might be better. Kind of depends what you're going to get charged over at Rare Candy, but 225 for the Chaos Rising pre-order.
Definitely the cheapest sticker price of the day I can find. When I mentioned it on Monday's video, I don't really know if we're going to find these for 210 anymore. The release date's coming out in 2 weeks. I think it's the 22nd or something like that. Pretty sure this 230 is probably the cheapest we're going to get if we do want to pre-order one before the set actually comes out. And then a little bit later today, they're going to have on Ascended Heroes tech stickers, $36 each, which market price on them right now is about a $40 average. I think Charmander might be like 41 and Gastly might be like 39, but obviously everything Ascended's going up. I think just the packs alone are like $13.50, $14 market price. So getting them at $36, you're under market on the packs and under market on the stickers. Would be about almost $5 under market on the actual stickers. Going over to Real Good Deal, look at this, gang. The first time I've ever seen this. Perfect Order going for more money first off than any booster box, but more money than Chaos Rising. 250 on a Perfect Order.
>> Excuse me.
Hopefully we will never see the day when that's actually the market price on Perfect Order, but that could be in about 2 weeks. I never know. But anyway, we are here for the Chaos Rising at 230 right now, which is the second cheapest price of the day I can find and they have free shipping over $200. I know Rare Candy definitely charges you shipping, so I'm thinking depending on how many you pick up and how many you can put into the cart and stuff, Rare Candy might be more expensive than Real Good Deal. I think if you're just buying one booster box of Chaos Rising, Real Good Deals probably making sense cuz you'll get the free shipping. Also, don't think I get charged tax for me when I shop here, so that would be another thing going for it. Might be a clean checkout at $229.95 for the Chaos Rising pre-order. And then at Real Good Deals, they also have a 151 bundle here for $200, pretty much the same thing, Smoke & Mirrors, couple dollars under market. And probably the cheapest Perfect Order three-pack of the day at only $17 with the very cute Chikorita.
Come out to under $6 a pack and I don't think we could find these today for under 18, maybe $20 right here for the Perfect Order. All right, over at Common Lands, which was Pack Fresh, is now Common Lands. They have the king of drops today, Crown Zenith packs going for $20. Now, this is the same kind of thing as 151, like it seems like a lot of money and stuff, and it's not terribly under market, but it's just also like, why not be buying Crown Zenith right now at any type of discount? It does say $4 under market. I do think it's like $23, something like that. Right now, they're selling them for 20. More importantly, you can pick up 36 of these packs. Now, I think you would kind of have to cuz you're probably going to have to pay shipping and stuff like that at checkout, so to divide that shipping out to make this a better deal, you're probably going to have to pick up a lot of these. I'm definitely not a fan of buying loose packs, but I also don't think like I don't think Crown Zenith had god packs or anything, so I wouldn't feel too sketch about it. Not like Pack Fresh or Common Lands was doing anything otherwise, but that's normally my concern when you're buying loose packs or something like that. And I don't think Crown Zenith in English there was any of that anyway. But, being able to buy 36 packs at a discount for Crown Zenith right now wouldn't be a bad time over at the Common Lands. Quick stop into Pokey Unlimited, they still have their gym boxes on sale. They're only $31. They also have promo code Insta5 at checkout, which should get you 5% off, meaning you should be checking out for gym boxes for under $30. The gym volume four is kind of at 46. I can't say there's too many stores today that are selling this for like under this 45 or $46, but I still think maybe we wait on this. There was a lot of people selling them for 40 at one point, maybe they'll come back. Over at Shiny Packs, they got some Pitch Black pre-orders. Prices went up a little bit on the booster box and stuff like that, but they still have this bundle, which is getting you a booster box, an ETB, and two booster bundles. Plus, they'll ship it to you for free, and if you use Smokey Mon at checkout, you'll get $5 off, so $3.95 for this. Getting you the booster box ETB, two booster bundles. In my mind, that's like $40 on the booster bundle each and then $80 ETB, so that's 160.
Then I'll be paying 240 for the booster box. And I think 80 on the ETB, 40 on the bundles is a little low. And even 240 on the booster box is kind of right in the middle. I mean, most people are at 250, 260 on their pre-orders for Pitch Black. The way things are looking and stuff, it's a big set. There's some ghosts. There was a couple art cards released already. Everything is looking good and it's looking like this will, if I had to guess, be better than Perfect Order and Chaos Rising. Let me know what you guys think, though. Perfect Order, Chaos Rising, or Pitch Black. I know we haven't seen too much about this set, but just the first couple art cards we've seen and the art for the packs and the booster boxes and stuff just feels like Pitch Black is going to be very solid. Going over to Spoils and Loot to close out the video. This is not the tradition. This is not tradition at all.
Quick video today, gang. We were definitely not cooking too much. Last thing of the day is the Spoils and Loot pre-order for Abyss I. They said they're going to ship by the 29th. I think this set is actually coming out on the 22nd.
I'm pretty sure the Japanese set's coming out for Abyss I when we get Chaos Rising in English. Not too sure, but either way, they're saying they ship on the 29th of this month. They're in $97.
Now, I did have another store at $95, but Spoils and Loot does do free shipping at like 200. At least I'm pretty sure they have always done it for a while. I'm actually not seeing it up top, but they have always done free shipping at 200, maybe 250. Something like that. So, I think if you would have wanted to stock up on Abyss I, this would probably make more sense. Also, when you just go to Spoils and Loot, they'll prompt you for $5 off your first order of 50 or more. So, that would be a couple dollars off. You could refer a friend, get another $5 off. Pretty much the best price I could find on Abyss I other than 95, but with the checkout, if you could get the free shipping and the $5 off coupon, I think this is going to just make more sense to get Abyss I.
That's going to do it for another deals video. As always, appreciate you guys watching till the end, hitting the like, and hitting the hype button, really helping this video out. And we'll be live streaming every day this week, giving away cards, ripping packs for anybody wants to stop into the live.
Hope you guys have a great rest of your week, and I'll see you at the live stream.
