GamesRadar+ • • technology
Key Points:
- Palworld released its first TCG set, Dawn of Palpagos, on July 30, 2026, with over 3.5 million packs sold on release day, but some rare cards were already being auctioned online before the public launch.
- The rarest card, the Cattiva Gold Soul, sold for nearly $4,000 on eBay three days before the official release, while other rare cards like Chillet Dragon Whisperer have sold for prices ranging from $1,100 to $1,400.
- Several rare Palworld cards continue to fetch high prices online, though actual sold prices provide a more accurate reflection of market demand than asking prices or offers.
- Palworld has faced criticism for its similarities to the Pokemon franchise, and concerns are growing that the TCG’s inflated resale prices could mirror the difficulties faced by Pokemon card collectors dealing with scalpers.
- The community hopes Palworld’s TCG market will avoid the same issues of scarcity and price inflation that have plagued Pokemon cards in recent years.
