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

Amazon's tendency to overprice Pokémon cards is back in the spotlight with the Prismatic Evolutions Super Premium Collection listed at an eye-watering $259.99. This price is almost three times the set's $89.99 MSRP, marking a 189% increase. For context, last year, Walmart offered the same set for just $59.99, highlighting the drastic price difference.

If you're determined to get your hands on this set, TCG Player offers a more reasonable deal at $224.43 (Market Price), saving you over $35 compared to Amazon. While still a hefty investment, it's a more palatable option for avid collectors.

For those looking for alternatives, consider building your own collection. The Super Premium Collection includes 15 booster packs, but you could purchase 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 for less money, though it lacks the collector's box and additional items.

Another strategy is to focus on single cards, especially since Prismatic Evolutions singles are currently trending downward. This could be the ideal time to acquire specific cards without the randomness of booster packs.

Notably, while some top-tier cards like Roaring Moon ex SIR and Vaporeon ex SIR maintain or slightly increase in value, many other high-value cards are experiencing significant price drops. For instance, Sylveon ex SIR has plummeted by 28% in just a few weeks, from $562.60 in early May to about $400 for a near-mint copy now. This could be a prime opportunity to buy before prices potentially recover.

The odds of pulling a Special Illustration Rare from this set are low due to the prevalence of Pokéball and Masterball reverse holos in the rare slots. With booster packs costing over $10 each, it's a risky and costly endeavor to try your luck with these.

For those committed to the thrill of the chase, here are some current in-stock options. Be cautious of prices above MSRP, as the market is volatile for Pokémon trainers right now. Generally, TCG Player tends to offer more competitive prices than big box retailers.
