High Pull Rates in Pokémon TCG 30th Anniversary Set Slash Resale Prices

The 30th‑anniversary Celebration set for the Pokémon Trading Card Game is delivering pull rates far higher than previous releases, sending resale prices tumbling across the market. Collectors report that the set’s rare cards appear far more often than in earlier anniversary editions, prompting sellers to lower asking prices to stay competitive. A special Mewtwo promotional card is being handed out at participating retailers, adding extra buzz to the launch. In Topeka, Kansas, a local store saw a line stretch for hours as fans waited for the drop, while similar crowds gathered in South Africa, where massive queues formed outside major outlets. The surge in demand and the unusually generous pull odds have sparked a wave of excitement among both seasoned players and newcomers, reshaping the secondary market for Pokémon cards in just days after the set’s release.
