Amazon Just Restocked Pokémon TCG Prismatic Evolutions Premium Collection, But Is It Worth It?

Amazon has once again hiked up the prices of Pokémon cards to exorbitant levels, with the Prismatic Evolutions Super Premium Collection (SPC) listed at a staggering $259.99—nearly three times its $89.99 MSRP. That's a 189% markup! In contrast, last year, Walmart offered the same set for just $59.99.

If you're determined to get the SPC, TCG Player offers a more reasonable price of $224.43 (Market Price), saving you over $35 compared to Amazon. At this price point, every dollar counts.

For those looking for alternatives, consider building your own collection. The SPC contains 15 booster packs, but you can purchase two Prismatic Evolutions Booster Bundles (12 packs) for about $137.98, or three for $206.92 to get 18 packs. This option gives you more cards for less money, though it doesn't include the collector's box and extras.

If you prefer to avoid the gamble, now might be the perfect time to buy specific cards from the Prismatic Evolutions set, as their prices are trending downward. The takeaway? Big-box retailers are currently the worst place to buy Pokémon cards, and the secondary market reflects this.

While some top-tier cards like Roaring Moon ex SIR and Vaporeon ex SIR are holding or increasing in value, many heavy-hitters from the Prismatic Evolutions set are dropping significantly. This presents a golden opportunity for collectors.

It might sound crazy to call cards priced over $200 a "deal," but consider the odds of pulling a Special Illustration Rare from this set. With Pokéball and Masterball reverse holos filling up the rare slots, your chances are slim. Booster packs are now over $10 each, and most people won't find what they're looking for.

Take Sylveon ex SIR, for example—one of the set's most visually stunning cards. It's fallen 28% in just a couple of weeks, from $562.60 in early May to around $400 for a near-mint copy. If you've been wanting it, now could be the time to buy before the price rebounds. You're unlikely to pull it from a single $260 Super Premium Collection box.
