Found a few of the PNY PRO Elite 1TB MicroSDXC cards in the clearance section at a local Staples for $47.46 (compared to $67.99 for the exact same item on Amazon)
Staples SKU # is 24600089
PNY model # is P-SDU1TBV32100PRO-GE
This is an in-store only clearance (YMMV). Product link is for reference only:

edit: So it looks like the 512GB model is also on clearance for $29.46, though not as appealing of a deal imo:
Staples SKU # 24555530
PNY model # is P-SDUX512U3100PRO-GE

which means most place where you are using the build in card reader, it cannot go above the 104MB/s.
if you need higher speed, instead of looking for a faster UHS card, look for UHS2 card. most laptop reader actually support UHS2 cards.

Edit: Kind of. In the end, if you use a reader with this everything you said is bad advice. If you're using a Wyze camera with an SD card slot, no biggie. But in general, especially for things like an Osmo Pocket 3, this is too slow for 4k/60fps shooting and won't work.

"UHS-I
SDHC, SDXC and SDUC
50MB/s(SDR50, DDR50)
104MB/s (SDR104)"
keep in mind above is the BUS speed spec. to go over that speed spec is to go beyond SD UHS spec.

"especially for things like an Osmo Pocket 3, this is too slow for 4k/60fps shooting and won't work. "
is actually incorrect.
For the DJI Pocket specifically, Ali Griffin's site has benchmarks for different cards:
https://alikgriffin.com/best-memo...mo-pocket/
In all test cases, the Pocket can't exceed ~70MB/s write speed. Interestingly, the PNY Pro Elite U3 scored around 70MB/s, which is essentially the same as the best Samsung cards tested.
if you doing mostly video, the video spec of the UHS card (e.g. V30/V60/V90) provide sustained write speed rated for the card. even the premium V90 card doesn't exceed UHS bus speed of 104 MB/s. echo back to my original statement: unless you use a none SD UHS spec reader, you cannot benefit from the higher maximum write / read speed.
It stands to reason that a higher advertised speeds card might indicate better sustained performance when there is no other labels available to check the performance, and i think that's exactly why most fall into that marketing strategy.
a lot of camera companies that came with dual SD card slots actually share the available SD card bus speed. for example. my panasonic G9 camera won't ever exceed 52MB/s on UHS 1 card (half of the UHS 1 bus) no matter what you put in. so you must go with UHS 2 card to get close to V90 or V60 speed. if you doing 4k60, you might want to invest in UHS 2 card instead.

I'll update the post later to reflect this.
