  "account": "The Pokémon TCG First Partner Illustration Collection Series 1 is now available at a discounted price of $70.84 on Amazon, down from its original list price of $78.95. This 10% price drop has resulted in a savings of $8.11, making it the lowest price seen since March of this year. The collection features one special booster containing a random selection of three trading cards from a pool of nine illustration rare-style promos, each representing the first partner Pokémon from Kanto, Sinnoh, or Alola. The collection also includes two standard Pokémon TCG booster packs, a sticker sheet featuring the first partner Pokémon, and a total of nine illustration rare-style promos. While opening multiple collections or trading for the starters that may not be pulled is necessary to complete the set, the series is particularly sought after by collectors whose favorite starter lineups originate from these three regions. Although other retailers like TCGplayer and Walmart have offered lower prices, such as $66.99 and $62.91 respectively, Amazon's current deal on the Series 1 remains the most affordable option for those specifically seeking the promo cards, such as Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle.",
