Amazon Restocks Pokémon TCG Collection: Is It Worth Buying?

May 28,25

Amazon has once again raised the stakes when it comes to overpricing Pokémon cards, with the Prismatic Evolutions Super Premium Collection (SPC) currently listed at a jaw-dropping $259.99—almost triple its $89.99 MSRP. To put that into perspective, Walmart previously offered the same set for a much more reasonable $59.99 last year.

Looking for a better deal? TCG Player is offering the collection at $224.43, which is still steep but saves you over $35 compared to Amazon. While not cheap, this price point makes every penny count.

For alternatives, consider building your own collection. Two Prismatic Evolutions Booster Bundles (12 packs) cost approximately $137.98, while grabbing three bundles nets you 18 packs for $206.92—more bang for your buck, though without the extras. Alternatively, if you’re not keen on gambling, Prismatic Evolutions singles are trending downward, making this a great time to snag specific cards.

Big-box retailers like Amazon are far from ideal for Pokémon card purchases. The secondary market, however, seems to understand this, offering better value across the board.

A few top-tier cards like Roaring Moon ex SIR and Vaporeon ex SIR remain stable or are even appreciating. However, several heavy-hitters are plummeting in value—a prime opportunity for collectors. For instance, Sylveon ex SIR has dropped 28% in recent weeks, falling from $562.60 in early May to around $400 today.

Big-box retailers continue to charge above MSRP, making the secondary market a smarter choice. If you're determined to pull chase cards, keep an eye on stock levels and pricing trends.
