Amazon has once again demonstrated its knack for overpricing Pokémon cards, particularly with the Prismatic Evolutions Super Premium Collection, which is currently listed at a whopping $259.99. This is nearly three times its manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $89.99, marking a 189% increase. For perspective, last year, Walmart offered this set at a much more reasonable $59.99.
If you're determined to get your hands on the Prismatic Evolutions set, TCG Player offers a slightly more palatable option at $224.43 (Market Price). While this is still a hefty price, it's a saving of over $35 compared to Amazon, and at this level, every dollar matters.

For those looking for alternatives, consider building your own collection. The Super Premium Collection contains 15 booster packs, but you could opt for two Prismatic Evolutions Booster Bundles (12 packs each) for about $137.98, or three bundles for $206.92 to get 18 packs. This approach offers more cards for less money, though you'll miss out on the collector's box and additional goodies.
Alternatively, with the value of Prismatic Evolutions singles on a downward trend, now might be the perfect time to purchase specific cards you're interested in without the risk of booster packs. The takeaway here is clear: big-box retailers like Amazon are currently the least favorable place to buy Pokémon cards, and the secondary market is well aware of this.

While some top-tier cards like Roaring Moon ex SIR and Vaporeon ex SIR maintain or increase in value, many of the Prismatic Evolutions heavy-hitters are seeing significant price drops. This presents a golden opportunity for collectors. Although suggesting that cards over $200 are a deal might seem extreme, the odds of pulling a Special Illustration Rare from this set are slim due to the high number of Pokéball and Masterball reverse holos. Booster packs are priced over $10 each, and the chances of pulling valuable cards are low.
Take Sylveon ex SIR, one of the most visually appealing cards in the set. Its value has dropped by 28% in just a few weeks, from $562.60 in early May to around $400 for a near-mint copy. If you've been wanting this card, now could be the ideal time to buy before prices potentially rise again. It's highly unlikely to pull it from a single $260 Super Premium Collection box.
For those committed to the thrill of pulling chase cards, here are some sealed products currently available:
Be cautious of prices exceeding MSRP, as the current market for Pokémon cards is unpredictable. If you must buy from big-box retailers, ensure you're getting the best possible deal, as TCG Player is often the more affordable option in today's market.
