Amazon Restocks Pokémon TCG Prismatic Evolutions: Is It Worth Buying?

Amazon seems to be back at it, overpricing Pokémon cards yet again. The Prismatic Evolutions Super Premium Collection is currently listed at a whopping $259.99, nearly three times its original $89.99 MSRP. That's a staggering 189% markup. In contrast, last year, Walmart had it for a steal at $59.99.

If you're determined to get the set, TCG Player offers it at a slightly more reasonable $224.43 (Market Price), saving you over $35 compared to Amazon. Every penny counts at these prices.

For those looking for alternatives, consider building your own collection. The Super Premium Collection contains 15 booster packs, but you can buy two Prismatic Evolutions Booster Bundles (12 packs each) for about $137.98, or three for $206.92 to get 18 packs. This approach offers more cards at a lower cost, though without the collector's box and additional items.

Another option is to skip the randomness and buy specific cards. With Prismatic Evolutions singles on a downward trend, now might be the perfect time to pick up the cards you want without the risk of packs. The takeaway? Big-box stores are currently the worst place to buy Pokémon cards, and the secondary market is well aware of it.

While some top-tier cards like Roaring Moon ex SIR and Vaporeon ex SIR maintain or increase in value, many Prismatic Evolutions heavy-hitters are plummeting, presenting a great opportunity for buyers. Although cards priced over $200 might seem expensive, the chances of pulling a Special Illustration Rare from this set are slim due to the high number of Pokéball and Masterball reverse holos.

For instance, Sylveon ex SIR, one of the most visually appealing cards in the set, has seen a 28% drop in just a few weeks, from $562.60 in early May to around $400 for a near-mint copy. If you've had your eye on it, now could be the time to buy before prices potentially rise again, especially considering the low odds of pulling it from a $260 Super Premium Collection box.

For those committed to chasing cards through packs, here's a look at what's currently available. Be cautious of prices above MSRP; the market for Pokémon cards is in a unique state right now, so it's wise to avoid overpaying.

If you're set on buying from big box retailers, here are some options. However, in the current market, TCG Player is likely to offer better deals nine times out of ten.
