What's new
Improvements and releases on bench.cx, newest first.
Trending: gainers, losers & time windows
Biggest movers up and down, from 7 days to 6 months.
- ImprovedTrending now shows the biggest gainers AND the biggest losers, and you can switch the window: 7 days, 14 days, 30 days (default), 3 months, or 6 months. A 12-month view will appear as more price history accumulates.
Browse by set
A new Sets page listing every Pokémon set, grouped by series.
- NewNew Sets page: browse every Pokémon set we track, grouped by series, with set logos and product counts. Jump straight into any set's sealed products, prices, and history.
Richer set & product pages
Set logos, series, set size, and real product descriptions.
- ImprovedSet pages now lead with the set logo, series, card count, and release date. Product pages now include a real product description and show which set and series each item belongs to. The canonical reference for sealed Pokémon, getting deeper.
A bigger, sharper catalog
Hundreds more sealed products and much cleaner categories.
- NewAdded 400+ sealed products, including vintage and WOTC-era booster boxes, theme decks and more, now with real product descriptions, set and expansion details, and release dates.
- ImprovedSharper categories: booster packs, theme decks, battle decks, build & battle boxes and prerelease kits are now their own filters, and far fewer products land in 'Other'.
More accurate case prices
Booster box and ETB case prices now track their contents.
- FixedBooster Box Case and Elite Trainer Box Case prices were unreliable, because the market data source mis-prices slow-moving cases. They now derive from the per-unit price: 6 booster boxes or 10 ETBs per case. So a case is priced like what's inside it, and it updates daily.
Embeddable price widgets
Put a live sealed price on any site, blog, or README.
- NewEmbed a live, auto-updating price for any product. Grab a price card or a markdown badge from the product page (under 'Embed this price') or from the new /embed page. Free, no account, links back to bench.cx.
Trending is now public
Browse the biggest sealed movers without an account.
- ImprovedThe Trending page, the biggest 30-day gainers across sealed product, is now open to everyone, no sign-in needed. Tracking a mover still takes a free account.
- ImprovedCleaner link previews and richer search results across the catalog, set, and product pages so bench.cx looks right when shared and ranks better.
Instant catalog
Search, filter, and sort with zero lag.
- ImprovedThe catalog now filters, sorts, and paginates instantly. Searching and changing filters is immediate, with no loading between every change.
Reimagined landing page
Search the market and jump straight into any product, no account.
- ImprovedNew homepage with instant search: start typing and jump straight into any sealed product. Plus a live trending strip with real prices, quick links by category, and the full picture of what bench.cx does.
Price alerts, no account needed
Get an email when a product hits your price. Just your email, confirmed once.
- NewSet a price alert on any product: get notified when it falls below a price, rises above a price, or drops by a set percentage. All it takes is your email.
- NewConfirm your email one time, then every future alert is instant. A remembered device skips the email box entirely, and you can unsubscribe from any email.
Sharper product videos
Crisp video thumbnails that load instantly.
- ImprovedProduct-opening videos now show a high-resolution thumbnail and load only when you press play, so pages stay fast and the preview isn’t grainy.
- ImprovedRenamed the “Box opening” section to “Product opening.”
- ImprovedCatalog cards now show a small video icon when a product has a product-opening video.
Cleaner catalog filters
A tidier search bar, and upcoming releases are tucked away by default.
- ImprovedRedesigned the catalog search and filter bar: a prominent search box, clearer price range, and properly sized controls.
- ImprovedNot-yet-released products are now hidden by default. Tick “Show upcoming releases” to include them.
Public catalog & clean URLs
Browse the full catalog without an account, on readable links.
- NewThe catalog is now public: browse, search, and filter every sealed product without signing in.
- ImprovedProduct and set pages now have clean, readable URLs (e.g. /products/151-booster-box and /sets/sv-prismatic-evolutions). Old links redirect automatically.
Built for mobile
The whole app and site now work beautifully on your phone.
- ImprovedEvery page is now mobile-first: a tap-friendly menu, full-width controls, and layouts that fit any screen without sideways scrolling.
- ImprovedCatalog filters, portfolio tables, and the Add product flow are all optimized for touch on small screens.

- ImprovedEach catalog card shows its 30-day price movement, set, and a category tag.

- FixedFixed an intermittent error when searching the catalog and loading some pages.
