Magic: The Gathering Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Booster Box Prices & Sealed Products

Quick facts

Sealed products for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Play Booster Box

Thirty Play Boosters of 14 cards at $6.99 per pack MSRP. Boxes have drifted below release pricing, trading between roughly $99 and $124 with market tracking near $112. Single packs run under $5. This is the draft box and the cheapest sealed exposure in the set.

Collector Booster Box

Twelve Collector Boosters at $37.99 per pack MSRP. Boxes trade tightly between about $423 and $450 with recent sales clustering near $440, and single packs sit around $39. This is the only source of the Eastman signature cards, the Japan Showcase fracture foils and the borderless silhouette mythics.

Turtle Team-Up

A $49.99 cooperative box, not a set of Commander decks. It contains four 60-card decks, one for each turtle, a 38-card boss and event deck that plays itself, four Play Boosters, four deck boxes, a punch-out counter sheet and a tutorial booklet. Two to four players team up against the automated enemy deck, and a game runs about 45 minutes. It carries 29 new-to-Magic cards under the TMC code. It trades around $37, comfortably below MSRP.

Turtle Power! Commander Deck

The set's only Commander precon, a 100-card deck led by Heroes in a Half Shell with all four turtles inside, at $69.99 MSRP. It has been trading around $50-$80 with a market price near $62, and its singles add up to roughly $67, so the deck and its contents are priced about where they should be.

Bundle, Pizza Bundle and Draft Night

The Bundle ($69.99 MSRP) trades around $47. The Pizza Bundle ($99.99 MSRP) adds a Collector Booster to the usual contents and trades near $86. Draft Night ($119.99 MSRP), built to run an eight-person pod, trades around $82. All three sit below MSRP, which tells you how heavily this set was printed.

Tins and Prerelease Packs

A four-tin run gave Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Michelangelo their own storage tins with three Play Boosters each, trading between about $22 and $31, plus a five-tin collection that runs near $92. Prerelease Packs go for roughly $23.

Chase cards and Booster Fun treatments

TMNT has no serialized cards. Instead its headliners are four Kevin Eastman signature cards, one per turtle, drawn by the co-creator and carrying a gold signature across the text box rather than a serial number. They are Collector Booster exclusives and they are the reason Collector boxes hold their price.

The treatment list underneath them is long: 20 borderless source material cards drawn from the original comics, eight borderless silhouette mythics, 15 borderless pixel cards that come from the Commander deck, three multi-card borderless scenes, 30 sewer frame cards, ten Japan Showcase cards printed only in traditional foil and fracture foil, and two full-art land cycles in pizza and rooftop designs.

No per-card odds were ever published for this set, only slot contents, so any specific Eastman pull rate quoted in a listing is made up.

Is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles worth buying sealed?

Six months in, TMNT looks like a normal, heavily printed Standard-legal set, and almost every product except the Collector Booster box is below MSRP. The Bundle, Pizza Bundle, Draft Night, Turtle Team-Up and Play Booster box are all cheaper now than they were at release. That is the usual outcome for a set Wizards prints to demand, and it is worth saying plainly rather than dressing up the licence as a guarantee.

The Collector Booster box is the only product with a real argument, and even there the case rests on the four Eastman signature cards rather than on box expected value, which sits below $440 on singles. The set is still in print, so reprint and restock risk is live. If you want the cards, buy singles. If you want to play, the Play Booster box at $112 or Turtle Team-Up at $37 are both genuinely good value as products, just not as holds. The one thing that could change the picture later is if Collector print runs stop while the licence stays popular, which is what happened to Fallout.

How to spot fakes, resealed and mapped boxes

With the set still in print and boxes near MSRP, wholesale counterfeiting is not yet the main risk. Resealing is. Check Collector Booster boxes for a re-applied shrink seam, adhesive residue, nicks at the flaps and wrap that has gone slack. Tins are the newer soft target: the shrink on a tin is easy to replicate badly, so look for a seam that runs straight and cleanly around the lid rather than being heat-shrunk over an existing crease.

Do not buy loose Collector Boosters from sellers you cannot identify, because packs get weighed and sorted for the signature slot. Turtle Team-Up boxes have also turned up opened and re-wrapped with the Play Boosters removed, so confirm the wrap is factory-sealed on all faces. The safest option is a box out of a sealed case from a shop you can identify, which also matters if you want a case-fresh Collector box for grading.

Where to buy Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sealed

The set is still in print, so local shops are often the cheapest source and the only place you can inspect a box before paying. Start at the card shop directory. Card shows are a good venue for tins and Turtle Team-Up. Online, these searches return the cleanest results:
