To celebrate Pokémon Day and 30 years of Pokémon collecting, eBay is hosting a free, fan-first Pokémon Day block party in NYC. The centerpiece is a live auction of The 30/30 Collection—30 iconic Pokémon collectibles spanning the last three decades—auctioned live on eBay Live, with every item starting at its original retail price.

Fans can watch and bid live from eBay’s iconic Live Airstream, explore a display of legendary collectibles, trade cards, enjoy food and music, participate in hands-on fan activities, and score free Pokémon cards and exclusive eBay swag while supplies last. Whether you’re a lifelong collector or just love Pokémon, this is a rare chance to experience a live auction and celebration IRL.
