Pokémon GX Tag Team Card Bundle

Overview

Pokémon GX Tag Team cards continue to perform well, particularly character-driven promos featuring Umbreon, which remains one of the most collectable Pokémon across modern and vintage eras. This bundle was acquired at a low price via Vinted, where sellers often underprice trading card lots due to limited market awareness.

The standout card in this bundle was the Umbreon & Darkrai GX Tag Team Black Star Promo (SM241), which has shown consistent liquidity across eBay and other secondary marketplaces, both raw and graded.

Breaking Down the Flip

Final Thoughts

This was a classic Vinted undervaluation win. Pokémon singles-especially Umbreon-related cards-offer excellent liquidity, making them ideal for bundle flips. The key here was recognising the value of a single chase card within the lot and using sold comps to validate exit pricing quickly.

Low entry, strong demand, and flexible exit options made this a textbook low-risk, high-ROI TCG flip.
