What changed on Printed Price, and why. Newest first.
November 13, 2026
Our new Lorcana D23 Collection guide explains what the 2026 collection is, how Ravensburger offered it at D23 in August and through an online drawing that closed November 1, and what Ravensburger hasn't said.
November 13, 2026
Our new guide to Costco's Pokémon waiting room explains how Costco sold a Pokémon 30th Celebration bundle online on November 13: the countdown page, the virtual queue and the 10 minutes you get to check out once it's your turn. It now also covers how that sale ended: Costco posted a low-stock notice at 3:09 PM CT (4:09 PM ET), and by 3:15 PM CT (4:15 PM ET) one member's screen said the event had ended and the product had sold out. It also has a short section on the second Costco Pokémon queue that afternoon, for what public posts called an Ascended Heroes Mini Tins bundle, with one member's queue screen from 3:54 PM CT (4:54 PM ET). We haven't confirmed that product's price, limit or how it went.
November 11, 2026
Our Delta Reign release week follow-up covers how Best Buy, Walmart and Dick's sold Delta Reign from November 2 to 8, by invitation and by drawing, and what we saw at Pokémon Center.
November 10, 2026
Our Lorcana chase cards guide has a new layout: the rarity ladder from regular cards to chase cards, a plate for each chase tier, and numbered sources. It also now reflects Hyperia City's October 23 release and lists its 18 Enchanted cards from Ravensburger's card gallery.
November 10, 2026
Our new guide to Riot's Worlds bundle drawing explains the online drawing for two Riftbound bundles from the Riot Games Merch store, the T1 2025 Worlds Champion Player Bundle ($70) and the Riftbound x Worlds 2026 Edition ($80), each plus shipping: what's in each, how the drawing works, and what Riot hasn't said. Registration opens November 13 at 11:00 AM CT (12:00 PM ET) and closes November 16 at 11:00 AM CT (12:00 PM ET) (Riot Games, November 6, 2026).
November 8, 2026
Bandai Japan has posted its Jump Festa 2027 plans for the NARUTO CARD GAME: a booth on December 19–20 with a demo-deck trial that gives out a CP-001 Chakra Card, an official playmat at ¥3,850 with tax, and a stage slot for the latest card-game news on December 19 at 1:55 AM CT (2:55 AM ET). Our NARUTO CARD GAME guide and early-access guide have the details. Bandai also added tutorial sessions at CCXP in São Paulo (December 3–6) and Manga Barcelona (December 5–8), each with the CP-001 Chakra Card.
November 5, 2026
Our new guide to buying and selling sealed cards safely covers what eBay, Mercari, Whatnot, PayPal and Zelle say they protect when you buy or sell sealed boxes and packs, what Bandai, Ravensburger and Riot have posted about fake or resold product, how the windows to report a problem compare, and where to meet in person.
November 4, 2026
Our new guide to Bandai's Official Shop lottery explains how ONE PIECE CARD GAME Official Shops sell new sets by lottery: how registering works, the ten OP-18 shops, how to read the application window, what Bandai says if you aren't picked, and where Bandai posts the notices. It also has a dated section each on Gundam and Naruto, as Bandai's shop pages stand today.
November 4, 2026
Bandai's ten ONE PIECE CARD GAME Official Shops are selling OP-18 by lottery. You register for one shop from Bandai's notice between November 4, 10:00 AM CT (11:00 AM ET) and November 10, 10:00 PM CT (11:00 PM ET), and winners buy in store November 20 to 22, one box per person (Bandai Official Shop news, November 4, 2026). You'll find it on the OP-18 release page and in our Premium Bandai guide.
November 3, 2026
Best Buy's page for the Pokémon Delta Reign Booster Box (36 Packs) showed "Ask for an invite" when we checked at 10:28 AM CT (11:28 AM ET) on November 3. You ask, and Best Buy chooses who may buy; Best Buy says an invite gives you 24 hours to buy once the event goes live. You'll find it in the Delta Reign guide, the pre-orders guide, the Pokémon buying guide, the Best Buy invitations guide, and the store row and calendar on the Delta Reign release page.
On Windows, an invite-request window now stays open until the store closes it or gives an end time. Once one has been open for more than a day, its card shows when we last confirmed it.
November 1, 2026
Our first art guide is live: The art of Pokémon cards. Explore thirteen illustrators, see their cards on one wall, and zoom in on any card to see the detail and the artist's other work. Start at printedprice.com/pokemon-card-art.
Also new: Windows and release pages now refresh every minute while you have them open, so a window's status stays current without a reload. And you can follow us on YouTube and Reddit from the menu.
October 29, 2026
Our alert emails now list the items in the drawing, queue or pre-order when they're known, each with its price next to its MSRP, and give the window's start and end times when they're stated. Where the store has an entry page for that kind of opening, the alert links it. A queue alert tells you when the products aren't confirmed yet. As always, check the price on the store's page before you buy.
October 28, 2026
Our community Discord is open: talk cards with other collectors and follow our corrections log. Alerts are still sent by email only. Join at printedprice.com/discord (13+).
October 28, 2026
Printed Price is now on Instagram at @printedprice.
October 27, 2026
We refined how alerts follow a buying window. When the same waiting room or drawing is reported several times, you get one alert for it, and later reports that name the product add that name to the window you already have. Follow-up posts such as "still checking out" update a window, never start a new one. Also new: the Pokémon Delta Reign guide, with every product, its MSRP and where to try for it before the November 6 release.
October 24, 2026
We tidied the layout across the site. Wide tables now fit on tablets and read as cards on phones, Home's cards are tighter and easier to scan, and a few pages lost repeated rows. On Deals, the Japanese boxes' price column is now headed Price.
October 23, 2026
Japanese Pokémon boxes on Deals are now grouped by era, newest first. Each box shows its Japanese set code, its Japan release month, its English version, the lowest price and the range across shops. You can also join the list for text alerts on our text alerts page; nothing is sent until text alerts launch. We also cleaned up our product list so each box appears once, tidied the Home page's dates and counts, and brought this week's guides up to date.
October 22, 2026
A few improvements to Deals. When we haven't been able to recheck a store lately, its last checked offers stay listed, marked "Not rechecked: store busy", below the offers we've checked more recently. We're also working on a resolution to a few bugs we encountered.
October 20, 2026
A new guide on setting up Alexa for Shopping to watch for Amazon invites, so you hear when an invitation opens for a product you want. Our Best Buy and Amazon cards on Windows also now cover this week's invitation sales.
October 20, 2026
Our guide to getting the most out of email alerts is now as easy to find as we can make it: it's linked on the sign-up page, in the confirmation email, and on the page you land on after you confirm.
October 19, 2026
On Deals, All games now has Newest releases too: recent and upcoming products from every game we cover, at every price, each marked with its game. Newest releases on each game's page now reaches back 120 days instead of 90, so the previous set stays in view a little longer.
October 19, 2026
A new guide on getting a Best Buy Pokémon invitation: finding Best Buy's own offer at the price on the box, asking for an invite, and watching the app. It covers the Prismatic Evolutions Elite Trainer Box invitation that opened on October 19.
October 19, 2026
The Walmart and Pokémon Center queue guide, the Lorcana, One Piece, Riftbound and Gundam buying guides, Pokémon formats and Why prices now use the same layout as our newest guides, with a short summary up top and the steps laid out in order.
October 18, 2026
On Deals' Newest releases, a product over our fair-price limit now has a "See shops" list under it: the vetted shops that have it, cheapest first, with each price and how far over MSRP it is. It's still marked as over our limit; the list is there if you want it anyway.
October 18, 2026
After you visit a store from Deals and come back, you may see a short note asking you to share us, with Share, Copy link, Reddit, X and Discord. The same note sits at the end of our guides. We don't run ads or affiliate links, so sharing is how people find us. "Not now" hides it for three days.
October 17, 2026
Every game's Deals page now has two views. Fair prices shows only what vetted shops have at or near the price on the box. Newest releases puts the newest products first, including ones over our fair-price limit; for those we show the lowest vetted price and how many shops are over our limit, and we don't link to any store. A strip at the top shows the newest or next set: its price on the box, what vetted shops charge or when it's out, and an arrow to it in the list, or to upcoming releases before it's out. Its bell takes you to email alerts for that game. "What's fair?" beside the views explains our limit, and on phones, filters and sorting open in their own panel.
October 16, 2026
The language filter on Deals now has two choices, English and Japanese. The Other imports option is gone: no listings ever appeared under it.
October 16, 2026
Lotteries you enter to buy in person, like the Bandai Official Shops lottery for the One Piece EB-05 Heroines Edition vol.2 Booster Box, now appear only on Windows and their game's pages. The banner across the site is kept for windows anyone can act on from home.
October 16, 2026
Six of our most-read guides have a new design: a larger header, a short summary up front, a contents list beside the article on wider screens, bigger images you can tap through, and sources you can open in place. They are prerelease events, Pokémon Center invites, Premium Bandai releases, 30th Celebration, Japanese vintage fakes and Chinese and Korean Pokémon cards.
October 15, 2026
Fake Japanese vintage Pokémon cards covers what still gives today's better fakes of Japanese vintage holos away under a loupe, which home tests to skip, and how to buy safely and claim if a fake arrives. Findings and photos from u/GuardianofM on r/IsMyPokemonCardFake.
October 15, 2026
The collector glossary now explains 220+ terms. A new Game basics section covers the rules words in our event and formats guides, and there are Gundam and Naruto filters. Our guides now link each glossary term the first time it comes up.
October 15, 2026
Premium Bandai's draws now read "lottery", the store's own word, on Windows, Releases and release pages. Other stores' draws stay "drawing".
October 14, 2026
Releases now shows the next eight weeks at a glance, one card per week, and the list below follows the same weeks. Each release lists its own dates, a prerelease and the wide release each get their own row, and later releases sit in short rows at the end. Buying windows show once, where they matter, with Central and Eastern times. Japanese releases now appear in the same list, marked Japanese.
October 14, 2026
Lorcana Hyperia City covers the set's cards, the Iconic and Enchanted chase, how earlier boxes have held up, and how to buy at the box price. It's also listed on the Hyperia City release page.
October 14, 2026
Delta Reign and Into the Inkdark products now show their official box art on Deals and on their release pages.
October 14, 2026
Gundam Card Game news about buying sealed product now appears with the other games' news on Releases.
October 13, 2026
Release pages for Into the Inkdark, Legacy, The Reckoning, EB-06 and Blazing Fist. Each lists its products, the price on the box where one has been published, and where each store stands.
October 13, 2026
Getting NARUTO CARD GAME early lists every way to play or take cards home before the June 2027 launch, earliest first. The NARUTO CARD GAME guide also has more: how a deck is built, the convention playmat, Jump Festa dates and pictures of the products.
October 13, 2026
Gundam products on Deals now show the set name first and the code after it, like "Phantom Aria Booster Box (GD04)".
October 13, 2026
When a store opens a waiting room without saying what it's for, the alert now says the product hasn't been named yet.
October 12, 2026
On Releases and release pages, a community post that prices a product above our fair limit for that exact product now carries a grey "over MSRP" label.
October 12, 2026
When a new release isn't at a fair price at any vetted shop, its game's Deals page now shows the lowest vetted price in a separate Above MSRP section, marked with how much over the box price it is, so you can decide. It's never counted as a fair price.
October 12, 2026
The Naruto Card Game guide now has the demo schedule Bandai announced: two waves of Premier Demo Events at select stores from February 5, then a wider Demo Event from March 5 to 31, 2027.
October 11, 2026
Home now leads with what's at the box price right now for the game you choose, the next release, and anything open to buy. Every game sits in one row at the top, with a touch of each game's colour, and the alert sign-up is at the bottom.
October 11, 2026
A shorter About, with a note on why we built Printed Price. A new page, How this site is made, says how prices are collected, what counts as fair, how shops are vetted, where AI helps and where a person decides, and keeps a public list of corrections.
October 11, 2026
Deals now shows sealed Gundam Card Game products at or near the price on the box from vetted shops, with box images. It's a preview while we tune how we match Gundam products.
October 11, 2026
Each game has its own guides page, like Lorcana guides, and choosing a game from any guide opens that game's guides. Informational pages, such as About and Privacy, no longer show the game row.
October 11, 2026
Everything announced so far about Bandai's new NARUTO CARD GAME: the guide, its release dates on the calendar, and email alerts that start when pre-orders open.
October 10, 2026
What a reprint is, why publishers print more, and what sealed prices did around past reprint waves in Pokémon, Lorcana and One Piece. Read the guide.
October 9, 2026
Share a guide, or an open buying window, from its page. On a phone it opens your share sheet; on a computer it copies the link.
October 8, 2026
When another game has a drawing, lottery, waiting room or pre-order open, a line near the top of the page now says so, in that game's colour, with when it closes. It links to that game's release page, and × hides it. Windows has a new Other games section, and each game's releases page lists what's open now.
October 8, 2026
Japanese vs English Pokémon: updated the US duty note for imports.
October 7, 2026
The Gundam Card Game is now on Printed Price. Riftbound and Gundam share a new More games tab, with a switch for each game. Gundam has its own releases page with dates, MSRP and Premium Bandai lotteries; lotteries show on Windows, and you can get alerts for them. Gundam shop prices aren't tracked yet. Two new guides: the Gundam Card Game for new players, and how Premium Bandai's Chance to Buy lottery works.
October 7, 2026
What to buy first, what the next set should cost, and where to pay the box price: Pokémon, One Piece, Lorcana, Riftbound and Gundam.
October 6, 2026
Windows now shows a store's regular way of selling before it announces anything: Walmart's weekly Collectibles Drawing (Wednesdays, 4 PM Central) and Premium Bandai's Chance to Buy, with the time, what to check and the price to expect. Drawing and pre-order windows are checked for every game we cover, around the clock, and every alert now records when we saw the window and when it reached you, so we can tell you how fast alerts arrive.
October 6, 2026
How promo cards work and which ones are worth chasing, with the McDonald's, movie and event promos collectors ask about most: Promo cards.
October 5, 2026
How its emailed invitations work, what it says and doesn't say, and how Walmart, Best Buy, Amazon and Riot compare: Pokémon Center invite codes.
October 5, 2026
Our Terms now say how automated access works: scraping the site without permission isn't allowed, and anyone who wants to use our data can ask at info@printedprice.com. Approved users get access that doesn't trip our limits.
October 5, 2026
Bug fixes and improvements to the Windows section, for every game we cover. Please report any bugs to support@printedprice.com.
October 5, 2026
We're working through bug fixes, so a few things may look off for a bit. If you see something wrong (a price, a date, a store, a broken page), tell us at support@printedprice.com or on the Contact page. Every report gets read.
October 4, 2026
How breaks, roulette and live auctions work, where hosts get their product, the tactics that raise what you pay, what each platform's rules cover, and a checklist for before you bid: Buying cards on live streams. It's featured on the home page, and the collector glossary gains six live-buying terms: spot, random break, pick-your-team, hit draft, roulette and shill bidding.
October 4, 2026
Email alerts are live for a first group of readers: an email when a store queue, drawing or pre-order is actually open, with the store's own link first. We're watching how the first alerts land before opening them up further. How email alerts work explains what sends one and what doesn't, and the alerts page now has a short list for being ready before one arrives: store accounts signed in, a shipping address and payment method saved.
October 4, 2026
The home page now opens with one promise and three ways in: what's coming, how to get in line, and what's at the price on the box right now. Windows shows what to watch next even when nothing is open: the next release with each store's status (announced, expected pattern, or no signal yet), how the last line went, likely buying paths where a store's pattern repeats, and a short be-ready checklist.
October 4, 2026
The first mention of a collector term in each guide now links to its plain-English definition in the collector glossary, so a term you don't know is one tap away.
October 3, 2026
The collector glossary now has 170 terms, with new sections on Vintage Pokémon and buying safely online.
October 3, 2026
Raw, comp, case hit, allocation: collectors use a lot of shorthand, and most of it never gets explained. The collector glossary covers 130+ terms in plain English, with why each one matters when you're buying. You can search it or narrow it to one game, and the labels on Releases, Windows and Deals now link to their definitions.
October 3, 2026
We've improved the engine behind Windows and alerts. It now follows more stores and more drawings, and drawings like Premium Bandai's Chance to Buy show their full timeline, from entry to purchase window.
October 3, 2026
We're adding the Gundam Card Game: its releases, its buying windows and a guide for new players. We're aiming to have it ready before Stardust Trails comes out on October 30, and we can't wait to see the cards ourselves.
October 2, 2026
Prerelease events explained covers how Pokémon, Lorcana and Riftbound prereleases work this fall: the dates, what's in each kit, what stores charge, and how to get a seat.
October 1, 2026
Lorcana chase cards explains Enchanted, Epic and Iconic cards: what each looks like, how rare they are by community counts (there are no official odds), why every chase card comes from a standard pack's one foil slot, and what that means for buying sealed at MSRP. It also covers Hyperia City's two Iconics and next year's Collector Boosters.
October 1, 2026
How we choose shops explains what every listed shop has to meet, what takes a shop off, and how prices are judged for each game. You can also report a listed shop or suggest one for us to review. We review every report before changing anything on the site.
Some store drawings, like Dick's, can only be entered in the store's app. Their buttons now take you to the app: on a phone, to its App Store or Google Play page, which shows Open if you already have it. For other stores, phones also get an "Open the app" link next to the store's page.
October 1, 2026
Guides are now grouped into Buying safely, Understand prices, Release and drop reports, and Set and game guides. Each guide says when it was published and last updated.
"Stopping bots" is now "Drop reliability", scored on what happened in each drop. Every check also says how sure it is: documented, observed, or no reports found. A store with no reports either way gets half the points for that check, not all of them, because nobody reporting a problem isn't proof that it didn't happen. See the Store Report Card.
Releases and Deals now have a page for each game, like Lorcana releases or One Piece fair-price inventory, to bookmark or share. Releases and Deals without a game chosen show every game.
Deals now explains how prices are judged, including what counts as near MSRP. On Windows, How stores work shows when it was last reviewed, with sources for the big stores.
October 1, 2026
Printed Price has changed a lot over the last few weeks. The goal of the rebuild was to make it much easier to answer three questions:
Deals has been rebuilt around actual qualifying inventory. We now compare products against MSRP or the appropriate regional reference price, show the best qualifying store, surface other vetted shops, and leave scalper and marketplace listings out.
Windows now focuses on live and upcoming opportunities such as pre-orders, drawings, lotteries, queues and release-day drops. The same Window record now feeds the homepage, release pages and alerts, so the site is less likely to disagree with itself.
Releases is no longer just a calendar. It now shows what is coming next, how certain the date is, relevant prerelease or event dates, current retailer-window status, products and MSRP, and one clear "What to do now" state.
The homepage has been reorganized around the same three jobs: fair-price inventory, upcoming buying windows and the next major release. If there is a live opportunity, that takes priority.
We also tightened retailer filtering, so pricing behavior is evaluated per game instead of excluding a store everywhere because it prices one game poorly. That keeps legitimate fair-price inventory while preserving the site's no-scalper standard.
The next cleanup is Guides and the Store Report Card, along with smaller accuracy, methodology and search improvements across the site.
Gundam is also being researched in the background so the data is ready if we decide to support it later, but it is not part of the live game lineup yet.
The mission has not changed: help collectors know what is coming, know when they have a fair shot, and find legitimate inventory without paying scalper prices.
September 30, 2026
Mark any window Interested, Entered or Done. It's saved on your device only, with no account, and windows you marked before carry over. Times show in your own time zone.
Release pages now keep a buying history: when a store's pre-orders opened, and how long they lasted.
September 29, 2026
Printed Price covers games where regular buyers struggle to get sealed product at the price on the box. That's why we're changing which games we cover.
Most Magic sets sell at or below their box price, often within weeks of release. The Aetherdrift play booster box, for example, went for about 0.6 times its price. There's no problem for us to solve there, so Magic has left the game switch, Releases and Deals.
Riot's League of Legends card game is the opposite of Magic. A booster display costs $120 at MSRP, but in September 2026 they sold for about $244 to $258 (Origins), about $186 (Spiritforged) and about $172 (Unleashed), according to PriceCharting. Store pre-orders for the next set, Radiance (October 23), have run $140 to $225 (RiftCompare). Riot's own store limits displays to one per Riot ID, and they sell out.
It's also a young game on the rise. It launched in October 2025, game stores reported strong sales and plenty of new players at launch (ICv2), and Riot now releases a new set every quarter.
Riftbound is sold mainly through game stores, not big-box shelves, and about half the independent shops we check carry it. That's where Printed Price helps most: Releases lists every Riftbound product with its MSRP, and Deals shows the checked shops selling it at or near that price.
One Piece was already on Releases. Deals now includes English One Piece booster boxes, premium boxes, double packs and starter decks from the shops we check, named by set code (OP-10, EB-02, PRB-01) and judged against Bandai's prices.
Bandai's Gundam Card Game shows the same pattern. The first English set (GD01) sells for about $415 against a box price of about $120, and the latest (GD05) for about $190 (PriceCharting).
We're building the release, MSRP, product-name and retailer data needed to support Gundam properly if we decide to add it later. It is not part of the live game lineup yet.
We're watching the Cyberpunk TCG too. It launches this fall, and we'll decide once there's a track record.
September 29, 2026
Each big store's score now comes from a published formula: 40 points for price, 30 for fair access, 15 for stopping bots and 15 for transparency. Every point is tied to a fact with a source link. Price is measured on the Elite Trainer Box, the most popular launch purchase and where stores mark up the most. See the Store Report Card.
September 29, 2026
Each big release gets one page with its date, MSRP for every product, where pre-orders stand at each store (checked and sourced), shops selling at MSRP, and the latest news. The first is Delta Reign. Find set guides at the top of Releases.
September 29, 2026
We follow official channels, the press and other reputable sources. Every report links to where it came from, and community reports are labelled as reports, not confirmations.
