Black Friday may not officially arrive until Nov. 27, but lots of early trading card deals have gone live on Amazon — from the Pokemon TCG’s hit 30th Celebration ETB for under market price to preorders on MTG’s Star Trek Booster Display Box hitting record lows. Fans of other trading card games can also find bargains, with worthwhile discounts on beginner-friendly sets for One Piece and Disney Lorcana.
These are the best early Black Friday trading card offers we’ve found so far. Be sure to bookmark this buyer’s guide, as we’ll be continuously checking for better bargains as the sale approaches.
Best Pokémon TCG deal: 30th Celebration Elite Trainer Box

Amazon’s $59.99 30th Celebration Elite Trainer Box is still the best way to grab anniversary Pokémon Trading Card Game packs without paying higher reseller prices, and is still available to grab ahead of Black Friday.
You get nine boosters, a full-art Nidorina promo, 16 foil Energy cards, sleeves, and other accessories. At this new $59.99 price, the ETB is now at a massive $49.01 under its estimated $109 market price on TCGplayer.
Each pack even features one of 30 rare Pikachu variants. As an invitation-only listing, the downside is that you’ll need to hit “Request invite” on Amazon and hope you’re selected when new stock arrives — but it’s still the biggest steal going on in the trading card space right now.
Best MTG deal: Star Trek Play Booster Box

Magic’s Star Trek crossover has arrived in time for Black Friday, and its 30-pack Play Booster Box is selling for $124.88 on Amazon, down from the typical $134.62 — about $4.16 per pack. That’s not only over $5 cheaper than the previous $129.95 preorder deal we covered just a week ago, but is also a record low for Amazon.
Each booster contains 14 cards, including a traditional foil and one to four rare-or-higher cards, with alternate-art variants possible. The featured seller is third-party BetterShopping4You, so check the delivery estimate before ordering.
Best Yu-Gi-Oh! deal: Magnificent Monsters Box Set
Konami’s Magnificent Monsters has hit a 90-day low on Amazon, now $32.88 instead of $34.99. That’s actually the lowest price this newly released box has ever been. If you’re a fan of the original anime series, this is a must-buy for grabbing revamped versions of classic cards, like Dark Magician and Elemental Hero Flamewingman.
You get three five-card packs of Ultra Rares and three additional Secret Rares, each with a chance to upgrade to Starlight Rare. There are 18 reimagined anime cards to collect altogether.

Best One Piece Card Game deal: Learn Together Deck Set
If you’ve been curious about getting into the One Piece Card Game, this early Black Friday bargain is the best way to jump in, with Bandai’s Learn Together Deck Set now down to just $57.99, down from $81.69 — a brilliant 29% discount.
Built around Luffy, Zoro, and Nami, it includes three ready-to-play decks of 51 cards and 10 DON!! cards apiece. You’ll also receive guides, storage cases, three five-card extra packs, and a two-player playsheet.
Best KPop Demon Hunters Collectible Trading Cards deal: Energy Edition
It’s an excellent time to get into the KPop Demon Hunters Collectible Trading Cards series, with Kayou’s Energy Edition reduced from $45.99 to $41.39 on Amazon in a limited-time 10% off deal. This works out to roughly $3.45 per pack, with eight cards in each.
Unlike the Classic Edition, Energy Edition features 11 rarity levels, with 130 different card types to collect. These include the more sought-after SE cards, inspired by the song Golden, featuring laser-etched finishes and individual numbering from 1 to 366. There are also exclusive BP cards numbered up to 999, featuring HUNTR/X in their black stage outfits.
Best Disney Lorcana TCG deal: Illumineer’s Quest — The Great Hunny Rescue
For the early Black Friday season, Disney Lorcana’s Illumineer’s Quest: The Great Hunny Rescue has slipped to a 30-day low of $52.80. Instead of opening packs, you’ll be battling a self-playing Vine deck to rescue Piglet. The box has two prebuilt 60-card decks, a 50-card scenario deck, encounter cards, tokens, and a board. Play solo or with up to three friends, provided two bring their own decks. It’s sold by Kings Games, shipped by Amazon, and marked as a final sale.
