MARKET VALUE: Pokémon TCG’s Destined Rivals Booster Bundle is currently $63 on TCGplayer including shipping, but Amazon has it for $66.83 for a limited time.
Amazon’s price for Destined Rivals is $3.83 more expensive than TCGplayer, but it’s worth it for the prime delivery. If you fancy saving the money in exchange for waiting a little longer, go for TCGplayer. Whichever option you choose, the Destined Rivals Booster Bundle is at market value which means more stock is floating into trainers hands, so it’s a step in the right direction.
Destined Rivals is one of my favorite Scarlet and Violet sets thanks to the artwork alone. Ethan’s Typhlosion – 190/182 is a masterclass in how Illustration Rares are done. There’s so much action and emotion behind this cracking bit of artwork by GIDORA. It shows the pinnacle of Ethan’s bond with his starter Pokémon syncing up to deliver the cards Buddy Blast attack.
