The most noticeable trend on the Top 25 Sealed Products Chart for April (see "TCGplayer Top 25 Sealed TCG Products - April 2021") was that Magic: The Gathering reasserted its dominance as the top TCG again by getting back to the #1 slot. Strixhaven's Mystical Archive slot (see "Wizards of the Coast Releases Initial Product Details on 'Magic: The Gathering' 'Strixhaven: School of Mages'") in packs was apparently big hit with fans, and prompted the sales of more sealed product. Draft Boosters, which had been lagging in sales a little for Standard sets since Zendikar Rising, benefitted from the inclusion of the Mystical Archive cards in these packs and made a strong showing to claim the #7 slot on the chart. Strixhaven Draft Boosters also increased in value over the course of the month by about 5%.
Yu-Gi-Oh! managed to claim the #2 slot with their Ghosts From the Past 1st Edition Display. It was at #4 on the previous month's chart (see "TCGplayer Top 25 Sealed TCG Products - March 2021"), which means it had a solid preorder leading up to its April 16 release date. It passed multiple Pokemon TCG and Magic: The Gathering products on the chart after its initial preorder cycle, which means sales for this set must've been particularly strong. Overall, Pokemon TCG remained a high-volume seller, although it only occupied 7 slots on chart as opposed to the 12 slots it captured in February (see "TCGplayer Top 25 Sealed TCG Products - February 2021"). Flesh and Blood and Digimon CG both remained on the charts, and Dragon Ball Super TCG made an appearance at the #24 with Supreme Rivalry Booster Box via its preorder sales (see "The Battle Between Barbarians and Sayan Warriors Explodes in 'Dragon Ball Super: Card Game'"). It is notable that Flesh and Blood Monarch 1st Edition boxes went up in value about 9% from $409.34 to $446.96, which may be speculation over supply versus demand due to shipping concerns (see "'Flesh and Blood TCG' 'Monarch' Set Gets Delayed").
