Best Pokémon TCG US/EU Arbitrage Opportunities — May 1 – May 7, 2026

Cross-region price spreads on Pokémon TCG cards over the past week. We track US (TCGPlayer) and EU (CardTrader) markets daily for English Near-Mint copies; when the same card trades for materially different prices on each side, there's a flippable spread net of fees and shipping.

The widest spread this cycle is on Rayquaza VMAX from Evolving Skies — currently $233.94 on TCGPlayer versus €82.60 on CardTrader, a 160.6% US premium. A buyer importing from EU would need to net more than that after PayPal fees, customs, and shipping for it to be worth executing.

Cards with spreads above 200% are filtered out — at that magnitude the signal is almost always one of the two markets having a stale or outlier listing rather than a real opportunity. See the live arbitrage page for the current snapshot.
