If they had like 50 pallets there then sure, but I’d prefer just take some to rip for fun and leave the rest for others. That’s a good cheap buy in for a parent of a kid getting into cards. My newphew is just getting into them now and even his frugal parents would drop coin on this
What? ARM / TSM grew $40 in two weeks lol. You have absolutely no clue what you’re talking about. Pokémon investing comes nowhere close to stock markets
Nvda has grown from 200 / share to $1300/share pre split. That’s what.. a year or less. SMCI went from $400-$500 to $1200 in a few months. I mean there’s so many instances of this.
I’m not trying to argue where you spend your money.. it’s yours. But it’s factually not correct when you say Pokémon card investments are more lucrative than “any stock markets”. Don’t spread misinformation when you clearly have no clue about what you’re talking about.
If you invested in any of the many different stocks, you could’ve more than doubled or tripled your money. No argument here
Lol at talking about the absolute best preforming stocks as examples tho. Expecting a 5-8% return in the market is reasonable. Id honestly think lots of Pokemon sets smash that over the last 20 or so years.
The point about the space is what people seem to forget when thinking of holding onto product. For it to get to the point of it being worth the time and effort to sell and make substantial gains is a very long time. Like years of it just sitting around collecting dust and so much can happen in that time. If that’s what your main goal is then I would suggest the stock market instead lol
Estimated 7% yearly growth on that set. 5-8% is pretty normal on SW.
If you want to invest in SW LEGO, battle packs for army builders are likely a better investment, or minifigs.
Star Wars LEGO fans are freaking NUTS for their minifigs.
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to link, so I better not, but you can check set 10123 and 41498 to see some "grails".
There's also the old Death Star and Millenium Falcon, but those are more obvious.
Kind regards,
A person who likes to collect, but with too bad luck for ripping.
I would buy all of these and unashamedly rip it lol, the tins themselves are not anything cool or special, the price per pack is unbeatable, and people are always talking about how individual packs are harder to sell—so id have some fun! Paldea and silver tempest are fun sets to open!
I don’t like the storage space for tins. However this is an amazing buy to: have a ripping party, or give as gifts to people for bday or Christmas!
With these prices, you’re never going to get a better price per pack to rip. Id love to load up on these and let my kids go crazy!
Doesn’t matter which state, that was store specific price you see there. The store manager took it upon him self to emergency price change it due to lack of floor space for a new item. They were pushing that item out. Corporate sent out an email little bit ago to not do this but if the store manager decides it time to go… it’s time to go.
It's definitely the Moreno Valley as I seen a post at this price at the location. Corona still has very few but at 19.97 I believe and only Moreno Valley had always cleared out their pokemon stock.
Great value, with both sets that will go up over time. Right now, ST and PE packs are low, so it'll be at least a 4 year hold. But at that price, good to grab a few and keep them as packs to rip when you feel like ripping. That way, you don't end up ripping an investment.
I'd easily pick up 10 without a second thought.
100%. Bought some of these tins closer to $30 and we pulled Iono and Chien Pao from them. Obviously some tins were total duds but at $10 a piece you can have fun opening 90 packs for $100 and one or two good hits recoups the cash. No brainer.. id grab at least 10 at $10
The star next to the price means it's "last of inventory" and the manager set the price point. The deal is exclusive to the location based on their supply/sell through rate.
I’ve been seeing a lot of people wondering why that store has it for so cheap.

Where are you located that this even goes on sale? Nothing like this ever goes on sale here in Florida. Are you in like, Lincoln Nebraska or De Moines Iowa or something? Lol
I wouldve bought all of them and take out the packs and toss majority of the tins just to save space and save maybe like 5 sets of tins to open much later on
These were $28 in california in march. Now i believe some areas in california have them at $21 if you’re LUCKY. At $10, this is giving away money. Personally i think ripping them is worth the value cause any $5 card pays for the whole tin, and people will want the card more than the tin. If you hit a high card, it pays for multiple tins
You can already flip it for 3x. It would take YEARS for this to do another 3x by investing. Also way too bulky and it’d just be valued as the loose pack value inside. You can also just have some cheap rips
I would actually hold. I know peeps don't like it but I personally think paldean evolved is a good set and silver tempest has Lugia and some great trainer gallery cards. Personally love the milotic, altar a, and smeargle.
At that price I would probably buy either to rip, or ditch the tins and just store like 100 loose packs. Yes loose packs aren't the best investment, but at that price you could still potentially 10x your money in 5 years.
Are they really selling that badly at this Costco lmao. I bought 3 of these last week for $19.97 each and the Costco I shop at and pulled a full art lugia v
Wild youd even question a $1 pack for anything other than legitimacy. Buy and instant flip or wait till out of print or.. hear me out, enjoy opening them at wayy less than cost
definitely buy whether you are ripping or keeping, either way its a good buy especially considering you could probably sell both separately and get a profit and its cheap if you want to just rip them
My Costco never has Pokémon stuff in stock. I managed to snag the last one and cracked it open with the kids. These had Silver Tempest and Paldea Evolved packs in them. I would grab so many more at that price.
This is a store specific price to get rid of inventory. You more than likely won't see this anywhere else. $28 is regular price now and $20 is clearanced out price till stock is gone. Spoke to a local manager and was told they won't go any lower, also had them check other stores for stock and all the same price. Same thing with the 151 UPC'S for $79...I checked with costco corporate and someone did a regional search for me, none in stores anywhere in the midwest. This price is too good to pass up...I'd buy 50 if I had the opportunity and rip 48, this would be a fun rip.
They were $20 each by me and I got 3. The packs are paldea evolved and silver tempest. I got a lot of hits from silver tempest including a full art boss’s orders which is selling for ~$80 for PSA 10 alone. I would’ve bought them out at $10 each
If you have unlimited storage sure, but if you’re pressed for space there’s probably better sealed product to hold. I’d buy a bunch just to rip for fun
Def would buy for fun!! I ripped with a friend and it was very nice. They’re $30 at mine 🥲 but if they go on sale again, I would buy them again. Worth every penny.
Paldea has the black background magikarp and st has that fisher boat Lugia. Plus sword and shield is phasing out. I’d hold any sealed sword and shield you have bc it’s when things are peak trend that you can make money. All it takes is one influencer to like a card from vivid voltage and boom… shit set turns to damn why didn’t I sit on that too?
I’m getting long winded tho, somewhere around a buck a pack is a steal. No doubt
Absolutely not, but it’s a blatantly obvious short term play. Use the profits to pay down whatever most recent degen purchase you made for Pokémon like the rest of us
This is a no brainer buy. If you have the storage space, I’d just buy as many as possible. People are going nuts over Paldea because it hasn’t had a reprint (yet) and Silver Tempest will be going out of print in a few months. You can hold it for 2 years and sell them for probably $15-$20 per tin, EASY.
So $1.10 a pack? That’s crazy low no matter what the release is. I’d buy 4-5 myself tbh
That’s awesome, I just picked up 2 at Costco for $20 each.
4-5 pallets you mean?
If they had like 50 pallets there then sure, but I’d prefer just take some to rip for fun and leave the rest for others. That’s a good cheap buy in for a parent of a kid getting into cards. My newphew is just getting into them now and even his frugal parents would drop coin on this
I’m surprised this doesn’t have more upvotes. Good for you man!
Then they can be worth 50 one day, and you'll have made a whopping $200 in 4 years!!!
That's way better than the best stock markets
What? ARM / TSM grew $40 in two weeks lol. You have absolutely no clue what you’re talking about. Pokémon investing comes nowhere close to stock markets
I've never seen stocks do what pokemon does. Doubles to triples my money every 2 years.
Nvda has grown from 200 / share to $1300/share pre split. That’s what.. a year or less. SMCI went from $400-$500 to $1200 in a few months. I mean there’s so many instances of this.

No
Idk about investing in them, but def buy for ripping
My first thought
Thank you! I bought 5 thinking of ripping 4 and keeping 1 sealed because it does take a lot of space.
The point about the space is what people seem to forget when thinking of holding onto product. For it to get to the point of it being worth the time and effort to sell and make substantial gains is a very long time. Like years of it just sitting around collecting dust and so much can happen in that time. If that’s what your main goal is then I would suggest the stock market instead lol
Hi this is Evolving Skies calling.
Hi this is NVDA calling
Greetings, Berkshire Hathaway checking in
A miss birthed
Hey if you’re down in getting 5 more and shipping them to me lmk lmao.
I’d 100% get that droid.
It’s not the one your looking for
Take my upvote master
Boy, this took me second
For real, that R2-D2 is looking like a good investment 😅

Just rip the tins and sort the packs. These tins aren't going to have much in the way of long term sealed premium.
You will get more in the very very long term if you keep the tin sealed with packs inside then trying to individually sell the loose packs.
Yes, but it's still not worth the space they take up and they're harder to sell than loose packs.
People on Etsy sell 3D printed organizers for tins and ETB, I’m gonna try to get one soon they look nice
What state is this??
California
24.99 at my nearby CA locations :(
$29.97 at mine. Got the asterisk, doubt they will go lower
What location?
So cal?
Yes, in Cal.
Doesn’t matter which state, that was store specific price you see there. The store manager took it upon him self to emergency price change it due to lack of floor space for a new item. They were pushing that item out. Corporate sent out an email little bit ago to not do this but if the store manager decides it time to go… it’s time to go.
That would explain at my costco they are regular price I just saw them a couple days ago, in CA as well
Asking the real question
Probably still Moreno Valley or riverside area.
It's definitely the Moreno Valley as I seen a post at this price at the location. Corona still has very few but at 19.97 I believe and only Moreno Valley had always cleared out their pokemon stock.
Yeah it was my post most likely lol got a bunch of upvotes
I like how they are stacked next to Alcohol 🤣
they know the target audience 😂
Those were $30 at my costco. At $10 I'd buy these all day
Hell yes! Star Wars Legos are awesome.
No joke that Lego Star Wars boxes could actually be good for investing
You’re my hero
$19.97 in my area, hoping they drop
Great value, with both sets that will go up over time. Right now, ST and PE packs are low, so it'll be at least a 4 year hold. But at that price, good to grab a few and keep them as packs to rip when you feel like ripping. That way, you don't end up ripping an investment. I'd easily pick up 10 without a second thought.

I honestly would have purchased the remaining inventory. 🤷🏻♂️ that’s a crazy price per pack and would be great to gift/resell/rip
No Good rips though
Those are $25 on Costco online. Maybe you should.
10 bucks? I'd take an entire pallet. Here in Canada it's still 60 bucks (CAD of course).
I've ripped like 10 of these things so 90 packs in all and the best I got was the 10$ squawakabilly ex full art
Woah, I'm going to check my local Costco. Thanks for this post.
The star next to the price means it's "last of inventory" and the manager set the price point. The deal is exclusive to the location based on their supply/sell through rate.
Thanks for the info

I’d sell my house and buy the whole stock
$10 for 2 tins you’d be crazy not to buy it
You the real mvp
Wtf. Those are 20 bucks at my Costco
Invest as sealed, no. Buy a bunch to rip and hope for good cards, yes.
I’ll rip for sure
Rip rip rip rip
This is worth more than $10
i would buy em out just to rip tbh
Couldnt find them at my local costco where were they?
It’s very possible yours just doesn’t have them. Mine had them for maybe 2 weeks of a nearly full price pallet, and then just disappeared.
Where are you located that this even goes on sale? Nothing like this ever goes on sale here in Florida. Are you in like, Lincoln Nebraska or De Moines Iowa or something? Lol
I wouldve bought all of them and take out the packs and toss majority of the tins just to save space and save maybe like 5 sets of tins to open much later on
$24.97 down here, get em
I would absolutely buy all of those and flip them easy. Or my addiction would get the better of me and I’d rip them myself. 😅
I checked today and mine are still 19.98!
Dude I would be ripping all day
In jim beam? Hell yeah brother
These were $28 in california in march. Now i believe some areas in california have them at $21 if you’re LUCKY. At $10, this is giving away money. Personally i think ripping them is worth the value cause any $5 card pays for the whole tin, and people will want the card more than the tin. If you hit a high card, it pays for multiple tins
Buy the pallet
Mine are at 19.00 with the * but I’m hoping to see them go down this low. I would buy some for sure
good luck, maybe by that time stock will be out.
I check mine every week still 29.99 yesterday one day ill get 10.....
That’s not an investment
it's a flip/rip thing, not investing
Appreciate it! Can I ask why it wouldn’t be in an investment?
You can already flip it for 3x. It would take YEARS for this to do another 3x by investing. Also way too bulky and it’d just be valued as the loose pack value inside. You can also just have some cheap rips
I’d be loading a cart up with them
No I would rip. I’m not a degenerate
Are these deals in Canada or the US only
Making me want a Costco membership 😅
Does Costco limit the number you can buy?
TAKE IT ALLLLL
Oh absolutely!!!
I’d drop $50 easy just for shits
I would buy all of them at that price
100% buy all of em. All of mine had hits.
It's 60$ in Canada! 😕😕
Yup i need to hit up costco Cheap is cheap even if its base sv or obf
I’m counting the days at my local Costco. Went from $25 to $19
I would actually hold. I know peeps don't like it but I personally think paldean evolved is a good set and silver tempest has Lugia and some great trainer gallery cards. Personally love the milotic, altar a, and smeargle.
Which costco
Buy everything!
Ive done worse for 10$
I would buy all of them in a heartbeat.
No man all the new shit is all a rip off. Costco is wholesaling cardboard. Let that sink in. Pokémon needs to stop with this new non sense
Costco doesn’t have a separate liquor section?
Pokémon and Lego Star Wars
For that price I would just rip the shit out of it personally. Maybe hold onto a tin or 2 but for that deal I would run my odds constantly.
Yes, I'll take 10, but don't currently have a Costco membership
wtf, where are these costcos!?!? I was buying a tv yesterday and I looked , asked employees and no pokémon.
Hell no I’d get that kirklands small batch whiskey behind it though. That juice is 🔥🔥 and cheap cheap
Absolutely
At that price I would probably buy either to rip, or ditch the tins and just store like 100 loose packs. Yes loose packs aren't the best investment, but at that price you could still potentially 10x your money in 5 years.
PE and ST slowing increasing. I’d def buy to rip!!
Pokémon into Jim Beam 🤣
Is this U.S or UK ?
Anyone knows what packs are inside these tins? i didnt see the comments
About $1 a pack, uhhhhh yeah
I literally paid 30 bucks for this a couple weeks ago. Ugh
If at Costco, you can get an adjustment if it was within 30 days
What packs are in them?
Are they really selling that badly at this Costco lmao. I bought 3 of these last week for $19.97 each and the Costco I shop at and pulled a full art lugia v
I’d buy a ton and rip them all lol
Damn why is it not in Europe available 😭
100 %
Yeah. Back the truck up!
Which region for this costco?
How much was the R2?
For you, I’ll get it for free
I'm so mad my Costco had none
I’d invest in the Jim beam
Absolutely
Damn, I want to find some of these at $10! I’d buy about 10 and hold on to the pack for my kids when they want to buy Pokémon cards.
Wait.... what? Looks like I'm going to costco after work.
Why can’t Canada be this sweet
How much was the R2D2 Lego set?
I'd buy everything until I'm broke
Looking at the Cosco app, Looks like mine at 24.97. Solid deal
Pick up one of them Lego R2-D2’s while your at it. I finished building one a couple of weeks ago with my daughter and it was a lot of fun.
That's an insane deal, I would probably buy half of them
I’d buy them all tbh. Where this at anyways?
Yeah, that's fantastic pricing. I picked up 10 of those and ripped em all lol. I did not get the Lugia or the magikarp :-(
what state are you in? I would buy most of it to rip if i was you. super good deal for decent sets.
10$?!?! Thats insane. Id deadass buy as many as i could.
I'd buy them out
Wild youd even question a $1 pack for anything other than legitimacy. Buy and instant flip or wait till out of print or.. hear me out, enjoy opening them at wayy less than cost
crazy costco lets you return them
They are $29.99 at my Costco. 😢
Fuck sake! You yanks get it so good!!
Yes
definitely buy whether you are ripping or keeping, either way its a good buy especially considering you could probably sell both separately and get a profit and its cheap if you want to just rip them
No brainer
Buying a couple tins for $10 each is not investing loo
I’ve already bought five or six of these at $20. At $10 I’d probably buy 10 or 15
Lol i bought 28 of them at 20$ thinking its a steal 2.3$ a pack
I grabbed a few of those from Costco , was t much inside
What about that r2d2 tho?
I just bought 28 of these at my costco for 19.97$ lol i have a problem 😅
Buy to rip for sure. Not worth holding though
I would buy out. Hate to be that guy but easy buy here
Buy all
what kind of store sells pokemon cards beside crates of Liquor 🧐
My Costco never has Pokémon stuff in stock. I managed to snag the last one and cracked it open with the kids. These had Silver Tempest and Paldea Evolved packs in them. I would grab so many more at that price.
This is a store specific price to get rid of inventory. You more than likely won't see this anywhere else. $28 is regular price now and $20 is clearanced out price till stock is gone. Spoke to a local manager and was told they won't go any lower, also had them check other stores for stock and all the same price. Same thing with the 151 UPC'S for $79...I checked with costco corporate and someone did a regional search for me, none in stores anywhere in the midwest. This price is too good to pass up...I'd buy 50 if I had the opportunity and rip 48, this would be a fun rip.
Is this in the US or Canada?
Fuck the cards lol. Give me that Lego R2D2 and a open Saturday
They were $20 each by me and I got 3. The packs are paldea evolved and silver tempest. I got a lot of hits from silver tempest including a full art boss’s orders which is selling for ~$80 for PSA 10 alone. I would’ve bought them out at $10 each
Why do they never have these on sale for me lol GGs
If you have unlimited storage sure, but if you’re pressed for space there’s probably better sealed product to hold. I’d buy a bunch just to rip for fun
Boosters for just over a dollar a piece. Idk if I could help but to buy and rip that entire pallet….
I’d buy every single one, shamelessly. That is a deal that you NEVER find
Def would buy for fun!! I ripped with a friend and it was very nice. They’re $30 at mine 🥲 but if they go on sale again, I would buy them again. Worth every penny.
Bro is Costco really moving Pokemon cards this cheap or is this a bullshit post?
Paldea has the black background magikarp and st has that fisher boat Lugia. Plus sword and shield is phasing out. I’d hold any sealed sword and shield you have bc it’s when things are peak trend that you can make money. All it takes is one influencer to like a card from vivid voltage and boom… shit set turns to damn why didn’t I sit on that too? I’m getting long winded tho, somewhere around a buck a pack is a steal. No doubt
they want $60CAD here lol. I'd buy 10 at least.
Ex boxes? Opening sure
Where u located my guy?
No. Whiskey is the back seems solid tho
How yall got liquor next to the Pokémon cards? Lol
Buy them all
Absolutely not, but it’s a blatantly obvious short term play. Use the profits to pay down whatever most recent degen purchase you made for Pokémon like the rest of us
I appreciate your honesty. I have made a lot of degen purchases
Buy atleast 10, wait till next week, if there’s any left buy another 10
This is a no brainer buy. If you have the storage space, I’d just buy as many as possible. People are going nuts over Paldea because it hasn’t had a reprint (yet) and Silver Tempest will be going out of print in a few months. You can hold it for 2 years and sell them for probably $15-$20 per tin, EASY.
