So are Magic the Gathering collector booster prices at GameStop good? Yes and no is the answer to that.
The longer answer is that collector booster boxes and individual packs are priced differently on TCGPlayer.com and at GameStop.
So let’s take a small sample and see what we can find out…
The Foundations Collector Omega booster box costs $29 at GameStop. On TCGPlayer.com the Omega booster box can be gotten for $40. GameStop wins on this collector booster.
An Innistrad Remastered collector booster box can be bought for $350 at GameStop. The same box goes for $294 at TCGPlayer.com. So you’d save $56 by using TCGPlayer.com.
A Modern Horizons 3 collector Omega booster pack sells for $45 at GameStop. That same pack sells for $62 at TCGPlayer. So GameStop wins again on individual collector pack pricing.
An Assasin’s Creed collector booster box sells for $250 at GameStop. That box sells for $218 at TCGPlayer.com. So TCGPlayer wins again on collector booster box pricing.
A Bloomburrow collector booster Omega pack sells for $28 at GameStop. At TCGPlayer.com the same pack sells for $31. So GameStop wins again on individual packs.
Four out of these five collector products are overpriced at GameStop. You can save significant money by buying them on TCGPlayer.com.
Gamestop overall seems to overprice their Magic the Gathering collector booster boxes and individual packs. You’d be better off shopping at TCGPlayer, but for a couple of items GameStops wins. So I guess you’re going to have to do the leg work and check each time you want a collector product to see which has it for less!
