There are things in life that you never forget. The first time you opened a pack of trading cards. The thrill of the reveal. The satisfaction of pulling your chase. For a whole generation of collectors, those memories started with Pokémon — and for us at Courtyard, it’s no different.
Pokémon is where Courtyard began. Before Sports Cards, Comics, One Piece, and everything else we've grown into, there were holos and full arts and promos and the obsessive rabbit hole that comes with discovering them. That foundation is part of who we are, and it always will be.
So for Pokémon's 30th anniversary, we're celebrating in a big way: limited-time, special edition drops with 100% FMV buyback offers — all week long.
A Full Week of Pokémon Drops
From Monday, February 23rd through Pokémon’s official birthday on Friday the 27th, we're dropping special edition Pokémon packs, each day at 12:00pm ET, each one celebrating a different element of the hobby we love. Think of it as five chapters of the same story.
Monday, February 23 — $69 Pikachu & Eevee: Where better to start than the original faces of the franchise? This one is for the fans who fell in love first and never looked back.
Tuesday, February 24 —$99 Black Star Promo: The hidden gems. Promos don't always get the attention they deserve, but collectors know. This drop is for the people who know.
Wednesday, February 25 — $99 Team Rocket: Dark, rare, iconic. Team Rocket always hits different, and this pack brings that energy in full. Prepare to blast off again.
Thursday, February 26 — $99 Dragon: Prestige. Power. Scarcity. From Rayquaza to Dragonite, Dragon-type cards carry a weight that serious collectors understand immediately.
Friday, February 27 — $199 Vintage: The finale. The closer. The cards that started it all. We saved the best for last.
100% FMV Buybacks on Every Pack
What? BUYBACKS are evolving! For the entire week, buyback offers on every card from these special edition Pokémon pack are boosted to 100% Fair Market Value. We want you to collect with confidence, knowing you have boosted buybacks behind every card you pull.
Live Rips. Every Day. All Week.
Every day at 2:00pm ET we'll be going live to showcase that day's pack, chase some hits, and bring in special guests from behind the scenes at Courtyard — members of our team sharing their Pokémon memories, their favorite cards, and what this hobby has meant to them. These are the people who built this company on a foundation of loving this stuff, and you'll get to hear directly from them. Tune in on your platform of choice: Instagram, X, YouTube, or Twitch.
Giveaway: Two Winners. Ten Packs.
We're kicking the week off with a giveaway, and the prize is the full set of all five special edition Pokémon Packs. Two lucky winners will each receive all five packs at the end of the week. Enter on both X and Instagram for your chance to win, and we'll announce the winners live during our finale stream on Friday.
It's a Festival. Build Your Lineup.
Right now, you can head to the Events section on Courtyard and sign up to be notified when the packs you have your eye on go live, so you don't miss out. This is a Pokémon festival, and you get to choose your own adventure.
