Gopuff Pokemon Card Drops: Schedule and Price to Beat

Gopuff Pokemon card drops run six Fridays at 3:00 p.m. Eastern, and TCGplayer's cheapest Pitch Black Elite Trainer Box was $71.54 with shipping at 02:06 UTC on November 9.

That box and the 30th Celebration Poster Collection are the two products Gopuff has named, "all available at competitive prices" in its words. Their list prices are $49.99 and $14.99, per Celadon Info, and the cheapest Pitch Black ETB and Poster Collection listings with shipping on TCGplayer were $71.54 and $27.89. We couldn't read a Gopuff price, so we're offering a price rule instead. A Gopuff total, fees included and before tax, at or under $71.54 for the ETB or $27.89 for the poster beats the cheapest US listing we found. Up to $83.71 and $37.48 it beats only the median listing, and above those medians we'd skip that Friday.

Gopuff's six drops run Fridays from Nov 6 to Dec 11, and Nov 27 is Black Friday

Gopuff's release says it will drop Pokémon Trading Card Game products "every Friday at 3:00 p.m. ET for six consecutive weeks," starting November 6. Chain Store Age puts the last drop on December 11, which is the sixth Friday. Each week repeats the same three steps: a countdown clock on Gopuff's homepage from Monday with the products hidden, a reveal at 3:00 p.m. ET on Thursday with alerts and add-to-cart open, and checkout at 3:00 p.m. ET on Friday. Mashable's write-up gives the same schedule. Eastern time is on standard time for the whole run, so by our arithmetic each drop is 2:00 p.m. Central, 1:00 p.m. Mountain and 12:00 p.m. Pacific.

Gopuff says drops are first come, first served, that quantities vary by location and that purchase limits may apply. It advertises delivery in as fast as 15 minutes from a nearby micro-fulfillment center. It also says trading card sales on its platform climbed 335% from Q4 2025 to Q3 2026, with no unit counts behind the percentage.

The November 27 drop lands on Black Friday, and its reveal on Thanksgiving Day, if the Thursday rhythm holds. TCGplayer prices didn't drop that week for most sealed products last year: 12 of 15 sealed products had a higher TCGplayer market price in Black Friday week 2025 than the week before, per our Black Friday guide.

At list price, the Pitch Black ETB would sit $21.55 under TCGplayer's cheapest listing

Three prices matter here. List is the US MSRP that Celadon Info reports, and a store can charge more. The median listing is the middle of what TCGplayer sellers ask, and the lowest with shipping is the cheapest single listing plus its shipping to a US buyer. We read all three at 02:03 UTC and again at 02:06 UTC on November 9, and the two reads matched.

Source: TCGplayer price points (median listing, market price) and search results (lowest with shipping, 230 and 242 listings), read 02:06 UTC on Nov 9, 2026; list prices from Celadon Info; contents from pokemon.com. Pitch Black ETB list also on TCGplayer's seller blog, Poster Collection list also on Monster Card Corner.

By our arithmetic, the ETB's median listing is 1.67x its list and the poster's is 2.50x. If Gopuff sold either at list, it would be $21.55 under the cheapest ETB listing and $12.90 under the cheapest poster listing, or $33.72 and $22.49 under the medians. Gopuff hasn't said it prices at list, and we haven't seen its prices, so those gaps are the room a drop would have rather than a claim about it. Pokémon's pages describe the ETB's promo as a full-art Zarude and the poster as showing over 160 cards from the set. Our 30th Celebration ETB guide covers the set's other boxes, and Pitch Black against its two sibling sets has the rest of that set's story.

Compare Gopuff's checkout total with TCGplayer's lowest with shipping, not Gopuff's shelf price with TCGplayer's market price. Tax is in neither number.

The ETB's market price stayed within $10.45 since Sep 16, while the poster's fell $9.90

TCGplayer's market price follows recent sales. For the Pitch Black ETB, its three-day buckets from September 16 to November 6 ranged from $67.70 to $78.15, and the last one read $70.16 against $72.60 in the first. The Poster Collection's market price went from $42.36 to $32.46, a 23% fall, after a high of $46.96 in the bucket that started September 22. The ETB sold 1,187 copies across those 18 buckets and the poster 3,277, with 1,041 of those in its release bucket and 62 in the one that started November 6. The bucket from November 6 covers November 6 to 8.

That calm is why we lean on one read here. The Delta Reign ETB's market price went from $42.60 to $72.17 in 47 minutes on November 8, per our Christmas gift guide, and neither of these two moved between our reads. Prices can still change by Friday, so read TCGplayer again just before 3:00 p.m. ET.

Hit of the Week is one card a week, and Gopuff hasn't said which or how it's graded

Each drop adds a "Hit of the Week" with Card Vault by Tom Brady. Gopuff's release says customers can buy "a high-value Pokémon card at a price well below market value," and that there is "just one available each week." Mashable calls it a single graded card. The release doesn't say whether the card is graded or raw, and it names no card.

We can't check "well below market" without the card, and the release says only that the Thursday reveal shows "the products." If the card is shown at the reveal, look up recent sales for that exact card and grade, as in our guide to checking a card's value, and fix your ceiling before 3:00 p.m. ET Friday. If the listing says graded, read the grader and the grade in it.

One Reddit poster quoted $6.99 for a Gopuff pack in June, and another said it was already sold out

Gopuff sold packs before the drops. On June 26, u/TheBigFreezer posted in r/PokemonTCG, "Saw GoPuff was selling packs and ordered one" (0 points as of November 9, with 4 comments). When u/SpectatorGori asked "Msrp?", u/TheBigFreezer answered "$6.99" (1 point as of November 9), and u/SpectatorGori replied that it was "Already sold out by me :( congrats BTW. Hehe"

The post doesn't name the set, and the reply doesn't say whether $6.99 included fees. If it was a standard pack with a $4.49 list price, $6.99 is 1.56x list by our arithmetic, so don't assume Gopuff sells at list. Both comments date from June and say nothing about drop prices or stock.

We read no Gopuff price, fee or stock count

Gopuff's newsroom page and drop page returned HTTP 403 to our reads on November 9, and we didn't open the app. Nothing above is a Gopuff price. We don't know what Gopuff charges for the ETB or the poster, what delivery or service fees add, whether your address is in range, how many units each drop holds or what an order limit is. The release gives no prices, no unit counts and no week-by-week lineup, only that the lineup "will feature" the ETB and the poster. We also don't know what the November 6 drop held.

Skip a drop above the Nov 9 median listing: $83.71 for the ETB, $37.48 for the poster

There are three tiers, using TCGplayer reads from 02:06 UTC on November 9 and a Gopuff total with fees and before tax. For the Pitch Black ETB, at or under $71.54 beats the cheapest listing with shipping that we read, and from there up to $83.71 it beats only the median listing. For the Poster Collection the cutoffs are $27.89 and $37.48. Above the median, skip the drop, wait for the next Friday, or look for list price at the stores in our guide to Pokémon cards at MSRP and the Walmart drawing rules. If you buy on TCGplayer instead, check a sealed box against our resealed ETB checklist. That's our judgment on the numbers, not a forecast.

What would change our mind: a Gopuff price we can read at or near list. At $49.99 the ETB would be $21.55 under any TCGplayer listing with shipping, and that would be worth setting an alarm for.
