Where Are the Best Pokemon Card Deals in Singapore This Week? (Week of 28 September 2026)
We rebuilt every price baseline from scratch, scanned six live platforms, and threw out 20 fake "deals" — here are the 10 that survivedThe best genuine discount on Singapore Pokemon cards this week is a Zeraora VMAX #219 from VSTAR Universe sitting on Carousell at S$20.00 against a PriceCharting market price of S$33.21. That is 39.8% off, and three other platforms confirm the book price is real — Yuyutei at S$22.32, SNKRDUNK at S$31.00, KyoCards at S$35.00.
That last sentence is the whole point of this week's roundup. Plenty of cards look 70% off. Almost none of them are.

First, a Warning About Every "90% Off" Deal You've Seen
Before the list, you need to know what we threw out, because it explains why our top deal is 39.8% and not 300%.Our own cached baseline prices are stale for roughly two-thirds of the cards we track. The daily refresh only touches part of the table, which leaves 63,463 rows frozen at their January 2026 values. Prices have moved a lot since January. So this week we ignored the cache entirely and rebuilt every baseline from the 26 September PriceCharting export, joining on card ID and converting USD to SGD at 1.2779.
That alone changed the picture dramatically. Maushold #81 from Clay Burst showed a S$16.09 cached baseline; the real number today is S$38.32. Blastoise EX #202 showed S$100.96; it is actually S$167.17. A stale baseline does not just add noise — it invents discounts that were never there and hides the ones that are.
Then we applied four more filters, and this is where most fake deals died:
1. Cards with no confirmed sales. PriceCharting reports a sales volume of 1 when it has no real transactions yet. That is a placeholder, not a market price. We dropped 2,613 cards on this rule alone.
2. Brand-new sets. PriceCharting's loose price runs wildly high on singles from sets less than a month old — we have measured it at 2.4x to 9.6x the real street price. Every card from a set released after 27 August 2026 is excluded. That is why you will not see 30th Anniversary singles here despite the hype.
3. Cards where every platform sits below book. If all six platforms price a card 50% under PriceCharting, the book price is wrong — not the market. Audino #156 from Black Bolt looked like a 70% discount at S$6.00 on KyoCards. But Telegram sat at S$7.00 and Yuyutei at S$13.32 against a S$20.00 baseline. The entire market says that card is a S$10 card. There is no deal, just a bad reference price.
4. Lone outliers. This one removed 17 candidates. Dedenne #12 from PokeKyun Collection showed Yuyutei at S$31.32 against a S$102.46 baseline — a 69% discount. But KyoCards listed it at S$100.00 and SNKRDUNK at S$107.00. When one platform is 67 percentage points below the next cheapest, you are almost never looking at a bargain. You are looking at a different card — a non-holo, a reprint, or a mismatched variant.
We also caught one deal by reading the listing title. A Blastoise EX #202 on Carousell at S$120.00 looked like a clean 28% discount, until we noticed the listing began with "HP" — heavily played. Condition explains the price. It is off the list.
Bottom line for Singapore collectors: a real discount needs a second opinion. If only one seller is cheap and everyone else agrees on a higher price, assume the cheap one is not the same card.
Platform Scorecard: Who Is Actually Cheapest?
Here is every platform's median distance from the PriceCharting baseline across all 11,499 cards with a live listing. Negative means below book — cheaper.| Platform | Listings | Median vs PriceCharting | Share Below Book |
|---|---|---|---|
| CardMarket | 20 | −48% | 90% |
| Telegram Groups | 95 | −28% | 75% |
| Yuyutei | 3,542 | −12% | 60% |
| KyoCards | 1,521 | −11% | 65% |
| Carousell | 524 | +11% | 33% |
| SNKRDUNK | 688 | +45% | 17% |
CardMarket's −48% is real but nearly useless. It appears on just 32 of 11,499 cards — 0.3% coverage. When it is there, it wins outright: Psyduck #199 at S$14.20 against a S$19.62 baseline, Ampharos #90 at S$4.35 against S$8.73. Check it first, expect it to be empty, and factor in EU shipping to Singapore.
Telegram's −28% comes from only 95 listings, but those listings are local, cash-in-hand, and genuinely cheap. The Singapore Pokemon trading Telegram groups remain the single best value channel for Pokemon card prices Singapore collectors can actually reach without international shipping.
The Value-Tier Flip
This is the most important thing in this post, and it reverses the table above completely.Split the same data by card value and the rankings invert:
| Platform | Under S$50 | S$50+ | S$200+ (chase) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yuyutei | −19% | +58% | +95% |
| KyoCards | −16% | +14% | +36% |
| Telegram Groups | −30% | +24% | +35% |
| Carousell | +11% | +11% | +17% |
| SNKRDUNK | +74% | +12% | +15% |
The mechanism is simple. SNKRDUNK's authentication and shipping floor sits around S$21, which destroys the economics of a S$6 card and becomes irrelevant on a S$700 one. Yuyutei prices Japanese singles off Japanese domestic demand, which is soft on bulk and fierce on graded-grade chase cards.
The rule: under S$50, buy from Yuyutei, KyoCards or Telegram. Over S$200, buy from SNKRDUNK or Carousell. Never buy a chase card from Yuyutei without checking SNKRDUNK first — this week that gap was 80 percentage points.
One more caveat on KyoCards. Its −11% median is accurate, but 341 of its 1,521 listings sit more than 150% above book. Those are almost all graded slabs priced against a raw baseline. KyoCards is cheap on raw singles and expensive-looking on slabs; do not let a PSA 10 listing scare you off their raw stock.
Top 10 Deals This Week
Every table below shows all live listings for that card so you can see the corroboration yourself. Negative = below book.1. Zeraora VMAX #219 (VSTAR Universe) — 39.8% Off
The Deal: S$20.00 on Carousell — 39.8% below the S$33.21 PriceCharting baseline| Platform | Price | vs PriceCharting |
|---|---|---|
| Carousell | S$20.00 | −39.8% |
| Yuyutei | S$22.32 | −32.8% |
| SNKRDUNK | S$31.00 | −6.7% |
| KyoCards | S$35.00 | +5.4% |
Singapore Context: VSTAR Universe is a 2022 high-class set that Singapore collectors have been steadily reopening, so Carousell supply is healthy. Cross-check Bricks Play and the Peninsula Plaza shops before committing — VMAX singles from this era often sit in shop binders at similar money without shipping risk.
Verdict: Buy. The floor is well-supported and the card has real liquidity.
2. Leafeon VSTAR #210 (VSTAR Universe) — 35.8% Off
The Deal: S$40.00 on Carousell vs a S$62.27 baseline| Platform | Price | vs PriceCharting |
|---|---|---|
| Carousell | S$40.00 | −35.8% |
| Yuyutei | S$53.82 | −13.6% |
| SNKRDUNK | S$59.00 | −5.3% |
Singapore Context: One caution — the Carousell listing title references both Leafeon VSTAR 210/172 and Glaceon VSTAR 217/172. Confirm with the seller which card S$40.00 actually buys before transferring. Ask for a photo of the exact card against a plain background.
Verdict: Buy, after you confirm the card. Eeveelution demand in the Singapore Pokemon Collectors Facebook group stays consistently strong.
3. Mega Dragalge Ex #116 (Ninja Spinner) — 35.2% Off
The Deal: S$13.32 on Yuyutei vs a S$20.56 baseline| Platform | Price | vs PriceCharting |
|---|---|---|
| Yuyutei | S$13.32 | −35.2% |
| KyoCards | S$17.50 | −14.9% |
| SNKRDUNK | S$25.00 | +21.6% |
Singapore Context: At this price point, consolidate. A single Yuyutei order of 10–15 cards spreads the international shipping cost to a few dollars per card; one card alone is not worth the freight. Local Telegram group buys are the usual workaround.
Verdict: Buy as part of a bundle, not alone.
4. Mega Diancie ex #238 (Mega Dream ex) — 35.1% Off
The Deal: S$17.82 on Yuyutei vs a S$27.47 baseline| Platform | Price | vs PriceCharting |
|---|---|---|
| Yuyutei | S$17.82 | −35.1% |
| KyoCards | S$20.00 | −27.2% |
| SNKRDUNK | S$28.00 | +1.9% |
| Carousell | S$50.00 | +82.0% |
Singapore Context: This is the clearest argument in the post for checking prices before buying locally. A collector who walks into a shop at Bugis or buys the first Carousell listing pays nearly triple the Yuyutei price. Mega Dream ex singles are widely available; there is no scarcity premium to justify S$50.
Verdict: Buy from Yuyutei or KyoCards. Avoid the Carousell listing entirely.
5. Mega Venusaur ex #87 (Mega Brave) — 32.6% Off
The Deal: S$50.00 on KyoCards vs a S$74.16 baseline| Platform | Price | vs PriceCharting |
|---|---|---|
| KyoCards | S$50.00 | −32.6% |
| Yuyutei | S$53.82 | −27.4% |
| SNKRDUNK | S$62.00 | −16.4% |
| Telegram Groups | S$120.00 | +61.8% |
Singapore Context: Note the Telegram listing at S$120.00. Telegram is normally the cheapest channel at a −28% median, but individual sellers there set their own prices with no marketplace pressure. Always price-check the group against a retailer.
Verdict: Buy from KyoCards. Local pickup or consolidated local shipping makes this the cleanest transaction on the list.
6. Plusle #65 (Raging Surf) — 32.3% Off
The Deal: S$20.00 on KyoCards vs a S$29.56 baseline| Platform | Price | vs PriceCharting |
|---|---|---|
| KyoCards | S$20.00 | −32.3% |
| Yuyutei | S$22.32 | −24.5% |
| SNKRDUNK | S$28.00 | −5.3% |
Singapore Context: Raging Surf art rares have quietly become a collector favourite locally without the speculative froth of the Mega sets. DEKTCG and Concept City both carry Raging Surf singles if you would rather inspect before buying.
Verdict: Buy. Sensible entry-level pickup.
7. Mega Froslass ex #233 (Mega Dream ex) — 30.5% Off
The Deal: S$18.00 on KyoCards vs a S$25.90 baseline| Platform | Price | vs PriceCharting |
|---|---|---|
| KyoCards | S$18.00 | −30.5% |
| Yuyutei | S$22.32 | −13.8% |
| SNKRDUNK | S$23.00 | −11.2% |
Singapore Context: That concentration is the real signal. When one set produces this many below-book listings at once, it usually means local supply has outrun demand after a heavy opening cycle. Good for buyers, poor for anyone holding sealed Mega Dream ex hoping for singles appreciation.
Verdict: Buy.
8. Maushold #81 (Clay Burst) — 28.2% Off
The Deal: S$27.50 on KyoCards vs a S$38.32 baseline| Platform | Price | vs PriceCharting |
|---|---|---|
| KyoCards | S$27.50 | −28.2% |
| Yuyutei | S$31.32 | −18.3% |
| SNKRDUNK | S$42.00 | +9.6% |
Singapore Context: Clay Burst is a 2023 set with thin local shop presence, so online is genuinely your best route here rather than walking Sim Lim Square or Peninsula Plaza.
Verdict: Buy.
9. Iono's Bellibolt ex #236 (Mega Dream ex) — 28.2% Off
The Deal: S$31.32 on Yuyutei vs a S$43.63 baseline| Platform | Price | vs PriceCharting |
|---|---|---|
| Yuyutei | S$31.32 | −28.2% |
| Carousell | S$40.00 | −8.3% |
| SNKRDUNK | S$47.00 | +7.7% |
| KyoCards | S$48.88 | +12.0% |
Singapore Context: The Carousell listing at S$40.00 is only 8% under book but saves you international shipping — for a card in this range that is often the better real-world total. Run the maths on freight before defaulting to Yuyutei.
Verdict: Buy. Yuyutei if bundling, Carousell if buying one.
10. Mega Charizard X Ex [Texture Error] #223 (Mega Dream ex) — 28.0% Off
The Deal: S$38.00 on KyoCards vs a S$52.78 baseline| Platform | Price | vs PriceCharting |
|---|---|---|
| KyoCards | S$38.00 | −28.0% |
| Yuyutei | S$44.82 | −15.1% |
| SNKRDUNK | S$55.00 | +4.2% |
Singapore Context: One reservation — 42 confirmed sales is the thinnest liquidity in this top 10. Error variants are also the hardest cards to verify remotely. Buy from a retailer like KyoCards rather than an individual seller, and expect a slow resale.
Verdict: Buy only if you specifically collect errors. Otherwise skip.
Best High-Value Deals (S$100+)
Chase-card buyers get a separate list, because the platform logic flips completely.| Card | Baseline | Best Price | Platform | Discount |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mega Charizard X Ex #110 | S$867.11 | S$673.00 | SNKRDUNK | −22.4% |
| Gardevoir EX #101 | S$251.75 | S$182.00 | SNKRDUNK / Telegram | −27.7% |
| Arceus VSTAR #262 | S$190.59 | S$156.00 | SNKRDUNK | −18.1% |
| Aerodactyl V #106 | S$163.57 | S$133.20 | Yuyutei | −18.6% |
| Mega Gardevoir ex #87 | S$125.81 | S$97.20 | Yuyutei | −22.7% |
| Gengar & Mimikyu GX #38 | S$122.67 | S$95.00 | SNKRDUNK | −22.6% |
| Charizard VSTAR #212 | S$121.40 | S$101.00 | SNKRDUNK | −16.8% |
The standout is Mega Charizard X Ex #110 at S$673.00 on SNKRDUNK, with Yuyutei at S$898.20 and KyoCards at S$949.99. You save S$225–S$277 buying the right platform, on an identical card, with authentication included.
Gardevoir EX #101 is the interesting one: SNKRDUNK and a Telegram seller both landed on exactly S$182.00, while Yuyutei asks S$268.20. Two independent channels agreeing on a number 27.7% below book is the strongest possible signal that S$182 is the true market price and PriceCharting is lagging.
A Note on Sealed Product
We track 74 sealed listings through a sealed-only source this week — Elite Trainer Boxes, booster bundles and blisters. We deliberately keep these out of the singles tables above, because a sealed price compared against a singles baseline is meaningless.Briefly: sealed is running slightly above book, not below. Most ETBs and bundles sit between +4% and +31% against their loose baselines, with only a couple below. One Eevee 3-pack blister at S$38.23 came in 30% under, and an ETB at S$176.36 sat 10% under.
Takeaway: this is a week to buy singles, not sealed. Singles are broadly 11–48% below book depending on platform; sealed is mostly at a premium.
Recommendations by Budget
Budget Collectors (S$100–300/month)
1. Buy Mega Dream ex and VSTAR Universe singles now. Those two sets supply 16 of this week's 50 corroborated deals. Supply has outrun demand.2. Use Yuyutei or KyoCards, and bundle. Both run 16–19% under book on sub-S$50 cards. Combine 10–15 cards per Yuyutei order so freight does not eat the discount.
3. Skip SNKRDUNK entirely at this tier. +74% median on cards under S$50. The authentication floor makes cheap cards a bad deal there.
Serious Collectors (S$500–1,500/month)
1. Target the S$50–200 band on Carousell. It is the only platform holding a consistent +11% across every tier — no cliff as value rises.2. Cross-check every card against three platforms. This week's Mega Diancie ex ranged from S$17.82 to S$50.00 — a 180% spread on one card.
3. Watch the Mega Dream ex concentration. Nine below-book deals from one set suggests further softening. Patience may pay.
High-End Collectors (S$2,000+/month)
1. Default to SNKRDUNK above S$200. Cheapest at +15% median on chase cards, and the authentication is worth real money at this level.2. Never buy a chase card from Yuyutei without checking. +95% median over S$200. The Mega Charizard X Ex gap alone was S$225.
3. Take the two-channel confirmation seriously. When SNKRDUNK and a Telegram seller independently agree, as on Gardevoir EX at S$182.00, that is your real price.
Local Market Pulse
The Japanese-set bias in this week's data is unmistakable — every single card in the top 10 is a Japanese print. Singapore collectors buy Japanese Pokemon TCG Singapore singles at a far higher rate than Western prints, and our listing coverage reflects that.Physical retail still matters for the sub-S$30 tier. Peninsula Plaza remains the densest concentration of card shops in the city, with Bugis and Sim Lim Square worth a look for bulk singles and supplies. Bricks Play, DEKTCG and Concept City all carry current Japanese singles, and for a S$20 card the absence of shipping usually beats a 20% online discount.
For the S$50+ tier the calculus reverses, and online wins clearly. A 22–28% discount on a S$250 card is worth waiting for delivery.
On the community side, the Singapore Pokemon Collectors Facebook group and the local trading Telegram groups remain the best places to verify a price before you commit. Telegram's −28% median is the strongest of any channel we track, but with only 95 listings and no marketplace pricing pressure — one seller this week asked S$120.00 for a card available at S$50.00 elsewhere. Use the groups for price discovery and local meetups, not as an automatic discount.
How to Lock In These Deals
1. Verify the baseline yourself. If a discount looks bigger than 40%, it is probably a data artefact. Check whether other platforms agree on the book price.2. Read the listing title, not just the price. "HP", "MP", "played" and "crease" all explain a cheap card. We caught one this way.
3. Check for variant mismatches. If one seller is far below everyone else, confirm the set, card number and rarity match exactly.
4. Factor in shipping. Yuyutei and CardMarket discounts can vanish on a single-card order. Bundle or buy local.
5. Match the platform to the price tier. Under S$50: Yuyutei, KyoCards, Telegram. Over S$200: SNKRDUNK, Carousell.
What to Watch Next Week
Mega Dream ex is the set to monitor. Nine below-book deals from a single release points to genuine oversupply rather than scattered mispricing. If those discounts deepen, it is a buying window; if they close, this week was the bottom.30th Anniversary singles stay excluded until the set clears the 30-day window in mid-October, when PriceCharting's loose prices become trustworthy. Expect that set to dominate this column once the data settles.
We are also chasing two data problems. TCGPlayer and Facebook Marketplace both returned zero live listings this week despite being listed as tracked platforms, so this week's comparison is genuinely six platforms, not eight. And the stale-baseline issue affecting two-thirds of our cached prices needs a proper fix rather than a weekly workaround.
Bottom Line
Best Overall Deal: Zeraora VMAX #219 — S$20.00 on Carousell, 39.8% offBest Value Platform Under S$50: Yuyutei (−19% median), with KyoCards close behind
Best Value Platform Over S$200: SNKRDUNK (+15% median)
Avoid For Chase Cards: Yuyutei at +95% over book
The One Rule: a discount no other platform corroborates is not a discount. Twenty of this week's seventy candidates failed that test — including a 70% "bargain" whose entire market sat below the book price. Check two sources before you buy, every time.
