Amazon is once again demonstrating its knack for overpricing Pokémon cards, with the Prismatic Evolutions Super Premium Collection listed at a whopping **$259.99**. This price is nearly three times the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of **$89.99**, representing a staggering 189% markup. For context, last year Walmart sold the same set for **$59.99**—a stark contrast to Amazon's current pricing.
If you're determined to get your hands on this set, **TCG Player** offers a slightly more reasonable alternative, pricing the box at **$224.43 (Market Price)**. While still expensive, opting for TCG Player would save you over **$35 compared to Amazon**. Every dollar saved matters at these prices.

Instead of shelling out for the Super Premium Collection, consider building your own collection more cost-effectively. The collection includes **15 booster packs**, but you can get two Prismatic Evolutions Booster Bundles (12 packs each) for about **$137.98**, or three for **$206.92** to get 18 packs. This approach nets you more cards for less money, though you'll miss out on the collector's box and additional items.
Another strategy is to avoid the randomness of packs entirely. 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 pulling nothing. The takeaway here is clear: big-box retailers like Amazon are currently the worst places to buy Pokémon cards, and the secondary market is well aware of this.

While a few top-tier pulls like **Roaring Moon ex SIR** and **Vaporeon ex SIR** maintain or even increase in value, many of the heavy-hitters from Prismatic Evolutions are seeing significant price drops. This presents an opportunity for savvy collectors.
It might sound crazy to call Pokémon cards priced over $200 a deal, but consider the odds. Pulling a Special Illustration Rare from this set is tough, especially with Pokéball and Masterball reverse holos filling the rare slots. Booster packs are now over **$10 each**, and the chances of pulling nothing valuable are high.
Take **Sylveon ex SIR**, for example. It's one of the most visually appealing cards in the set and has dropped **28% in value over 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 recover. You're unlikely to pull it from a single $260 Super Premium Collection box.
If you're committed to the thrill of pulling chase cards, here's a look at what's currently in stock. Be cautious of prices above MSRP, as the Pokémon market is in a volatile state, and you shouldn't pay more than necessary.
For those who prefer big box retailer products, here are some options. However, be smart about your purchases; in the current market, TCG Player is often cheaper than big-box stores.
