Diamond and Pearl 2 Player Starter Kit Display

This dp trainer kit display is a sealed retail display of Diamond & Pearl Trainer Kits. Then, the kit itself launched in September 2007, early in the Diamond & Pearl era. Meanwhile, a display stacks multiple kits in one retail unit. Shops bought displays to stock shelves, so sealed survivors are scarce. For example, each kit inside pairs two Pokémon: Manaphy and Lucario.

Inside each kit in this dp trainer kit display

One kit holds two preconstructed half decks of 30 cards each. Then, the Lucario deck and the Manaphy deck teach the game head-to-head. Meanwhile, two guide booklets walk new players through their first match. A Manaphy coin, a playmat, and game counters complete the table kit. Each kit also holds one booster pack, drawn from the EX Series or the Diamond & Pearl Series depending on the print run. The holo Lucario and Manaphy carry artwork found only in this kit. Pokémon’s official TCG page shows where the game went after this era.

Who buys a full display

Retailers bought the dp trainer kit display to sell kits one at a time. However, collectors read it differently today. As a result, a sealed display preserves the whole retail unit, artwork and all. Kit collectors also chase the exclusive-art holo cards inside each kit. Meanwhile, others split a display among friends who learned the game in this era. Either way, the display stays a Diamond & Pearl shelf piece first. Browse our sealed products for more sealed stock from this period.
