Amazon Restocks Pokémon TCG Collection: Is It Worth Buying?

by Noah May 27,2025

Amazon is once again overpricing Pokémon cards, with the Prismatic Evolutions Super Premium Collection listed at a whopping $259.99, almost three times its $89.99 MSRP. That's a 189% markup. For context, Walmart had it for $59.99 last year.

If you're determined to get the set, TCG Player offers a more reasonable price at $224.43 (Market Price), saving you over $35 compared to Amazon. Every dollar counts at this price point.

Consider alternatives. The Super Premium Collection contains 15 booster packs, but you could assemble your own collection more affordably. Two Prismatic Evolutions Booster Bundles (12 packs each) cost around $137.98, or three for $206.92 to get 18 packs—offering more cards for less money, though without the collector's box and extras.

Or, skip the risk entirely. With Prismatic Evolutions singles declining in value, now might be the perfect time to purchase the specific cards you desire without the luck of the draw. The takeaway? Big-box stores are currently the least favorable place to buy Pokémon cards, and the secondary market reflects this.

While some top-tier cards like Roaring Moon ex SIR and Vaporeon ex SIR maintain or increase in value, many Prismatic Evolutions standouts are plummeting, presenting a buying opportunity.

It may sound crazy to call Pokémon cards over $200 a deal, but consider this: pulling a Special Illustration Rare from this set is challenging due to the prevalence of Pokéball and Masterball reverse holos. Booster packs cost over $10 each, and most won't yield significant returns.

Take Sylveon ex SIR, a stunning card that's dropped 28% in just a few weeks, from $562.60 in early May to around $400 for a near-mint copy now. If you've had your eye on it, this could be the ideal time to buy before prices rise again, especially since you're unlikely to pull it from a single $260 Super Premium Collection box.

If you're committed to chasing cards through packs, here are some current in-stock options. Be cautious of prices above MSRP; the current market is tough for Pokémon trainers, so don't overpay.

For big box retailer products, be savvy. TCG Player often offers better deals in this environment.
