Best Pokémon TCG deal: Mega Venusaur ex Premium Collection $31.60 cheaper at TCGplayer

SAVE $31.60: Pokémon TCG’s Mega Venusaur ex Premium Collection is just $46.39 at TCGplayer, a massive $31.60 less than Amazon’s current price tag of $77.99.

You can’t beat that feeling of trust when buying from an online retailer you know. Amazon is a solid example thanks to its next-day Prime delivery, but they’re not always the cheapest. The problem is the whole “you get what you pay for” mentality only goes so far when a retailer is charging you $77.99 but an independent seller with glowing reviews is selling the same product for $46.39.

A couple of dollars extra is usually worth it for the quick service, but over $30? I know which side my bread is buttered. The Mega Venusaur Premium Collection is packed with the following booster packs alongside a Mega Venusaur ex promo card and jumbo card:

• 4 x Destined Rivals

• 2 x Journey Together

• 2 x Mega Evolution

Oh, and don’t forget the reusable sticker!
