These are what each budget buys at today's sold prices. A price here is not a call on where it goes next. Check the photos before you pay, and the cert number on a slab.

Every price is a median of completed eBay sales for that exact product or grade, as listed by PriceCharting (SportsCardsPro for the Bowman cards): sealed and raw cards read Nov 1, 2026, PSA 10 and TAG 10 slabs read Oct 26, 2026. A graded sale counts only when its own title names the grade. The eBay buttons open live listings. Those are asks, and they can sit above or below these numbers.

Picking between them

Booster box, Elite Trainer Box or booster bundle?
A booster box holds 36 packs. An Elite Trainer Box holds 9 packs plus sleeves, dice, markers and a promo card, so it's the one that looks like a present. A booster bundle is 6 packs and nothing else. All three are for someone who wants to open packs.
Sealed or a graded card?
Sealed is for someone who likes opening packs. A PSA 10 slab is one card, already graded, in a hard case. If you know their favourite Pokémon, a slab of it is hard to get wrong. If you don't, go sealed.
Why two prices on a slab?
PSA and TAG slabs of the same card sell for different prices, so we show both. Where TAG has fewer than three sales in 90 days we say so instead of printing a number.
Where to look next
Every set above has its own index with dated sold prices: Prismatic Evolutions, Destined Rivals, Phantasmal Flames, Pitch Black. Listings under our sold price right now are on Deals. For a Charizard fan, what each Charizard ex sells for.
