📰 TCG News

Note: Some updates may touch on wider Pokémon news beyond the TCG.

🔵 Permanent Pokemon Store Coming To London By 2029

TPCi will open a permanent Pokemon store in London by 2029, with exclusive merchandise and in-store experiences. The location has not been announced.

It is the first of several permanent stores planned outside Asia. The only previous one was Pokemon Center New York, open from 2001 until it became a Nintendo Store in 2005, and London has had pop-ups since 2019.

🔵 Delta Reign Store Promos Add Macy's For The First Time

Delta Reign's store promos are Kyogre at Hot Topic, Barnes & Noble, BoxLunch and Macy's, Groudon at GameStop and Giratina at Best Buy, each for $15 or more spent on Pokemon TCG product. The set comes out on November 6th.

Macy's is the new name on that list, and the first time the chain has offered Pokemon promo cards. All three carry the 30th anniversary What's Your Favorite? logo as the stamp rather than a store logo, the same treatment 30th Celebration's store promos got, and all three are on cosmos holofoil.

🔵 Attic Master Set Collection Sells For £1.56m, A UK Record

A retired decorator from Woking sold 42 complete master sets at Ewbank's on October 21st for £1.56 million (about $2.1 million), the most valuable trading card auction held in the UK. The house had estimated the collection at around £270,000 hammer, and the previous UK record was £872,000 (about $1.17 million), set in London on October 9th.

The top lot was the Legendary Collection complete master set, all 110 cards plus the 110 reverse holo Firework cards and the 4 box toppers, which took £130,000 (about $175,000) against a £15,000 to £20,000 estimate. He bought the sets on eBay in the late 1990s after his son took up the hobby, several of them from a Malaysian seller, and they sat in his attic for 15 years.

🔵 Sealed Green Wing Base Set Booster Box Sells for $40,000

Listing

Booster Box · 1999 · 36 packs, Unlimited Green Wing

Green Wing boxes print Charizard's wings green instead of blue and carry the same box art as the 1st Edition run. They came out of the earliest Unlimited printings, so collectors chase them for the chance of Shadowless packs inside. Heritage called the condition Very Good, with the original Wizards of the Coast wrapping intact.

A sealed Green Wing box took $37,800 at auction on September 13th on 47 bids, which puts this 6% higher with Heritage's 25% premium included. A Blue Wing Unlimited box took $33,000 on August 7th, and an empty Green Wing box on its own runs $140 to $326.
