Best Buy's 60th Anniversary Sale Brings TCG Discounts on Pokémon, Magic, and More

Best Buy is running a 60th anniversary sale right now, and it includes a solid spread of trading card game deals across Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Lorcana, and Yu-Gi-Oh. If you're hunting for TCG gear, it's worth stacking these against what Amazon and TCGplayer are currently offering before you commit.

At Best Buy, the highlights include discounted Ultra Pro accessories — a Pikachu-themed deck box and playmat for Pokémon TCG, plus a Final Fantasy Y'shtola playmat for Magic. The Lorcana Gateway set is down to $19.99 (a $5 discount), and the Yu-Gi-Oh Doom of Dimensions Booster 4-Pack is $14.99. Those are all sold and shipped directly by Best Buy. Via third-party sellers on the site, there's also a Destined Rivals Elite Trainer Box for $144 and a 151 Booster Pack for $44.77. On top of that, Best Buy is holding an in-store Pokémon TCG drop on August 22, featuring First Partner Illustration Collection Boxes and Pitch Black sealed products, with Ascended Heroes, Destined Rivals, and Prismatic Evolutions potentially available too — plus $100 gift cards on sale for $60.

For comparison shopping, TCGplayer currently has the Destined Rivals ETB going for just over $120 — notably cheaper than the $143.99 third-party price on Best Buy. Sellers like NoPaperCuts, Buddy's Collectibles, and PikaForLife are listing it around $124.32 with delivery included, all for sealed, unopened product. Over on Amazon, the Pokémon Pitch Black Elite Trainer Box is down to $69.95, sold and shipped directly by Amazon with Prime delivery. Magic: The Gathering fans can also preorder the upcoming Star Trek Universes Beyond set for $199.99 — a modest 5% drop from the $209.70 MSRP — with Amazon's preorder price guarantee locking in the lowest price through the November 3, 2026 release date. The Marvel Universes Beyond bundle is currently $59.86, and the Commander Deck Bundle, which packs all four decks together, is $184.95 — working out to roughly $46.23 per deck against a $74.99 individual MSRP.

The short version: if you're fine with resale marketplaces, TCGplayer tends to beat retailer prices on the most in-demand sealed products. If you'd rather buy direct, Amazon's current Pitch Black and Magic deals are the standouts right now, with Best Buy's in-store August 22 drop worth watching for anyone chasing Pokémon sealed product at closer to retail.
