Let's find out.![]()
TCGPlayer offered a generous 10 percent back in-store credit on all products except for gift cards from 9 a.m. ET to 11 p.m. ET on Friday, May 16, 2025. I had expected sales to triple on average during this promotion. Let's find out if I was right.
I figured it would only be fair to compare the sales data for this date to the previous Friday (May 9, 2025) before this promo was announced.
Please note that all sales data is from publicly available charts on each TCGPlayer product page on May 19, 2025. The amount on the left is unit sales from May 9, 2025, while the amount on the right is unit sales from May 16, 2025. I also provide an estimated percentage of the sales increase or decrease.

Journey Together Sleeves Booster Packs are the only Pokémon TCG product to see a decrease in unit sales, while the Prismatic Evolutions Accessory Pouch Special Collection and Super-Premium Collection saw an incredible sales boost.
Magic: The Gathering:

Final Fantasy:
-
Bundle: 45 vs 82 (82% increase).

I found it odd that Collector Boosters for Final Fantasy didn't outperform Tarkir: Dragonstorm percentage-wise, considering this set is expected to be the best MTG 2025 set.
