Amazon Restocks Pokémon TCG: Is It Worth Buying?

Amazon has once again shown its knack for overpricing Pokémon cards, particularly with the Prismatic Evolutions Super Premium Collection (SPC). Currently listed at a jaw-dropping $259.99, this set is nearly triple its $89.99 MSRP, marking a shocking 189% markup. For context, Walmart offered it for $59.99 last year, making Amazon's price tag seem out of touch.

If you're determined to own the collection, TCG Player offers a slightly more palatable option, pricing the set at $224.43 (Market Price). While still steep, this saves you over $35 compared to Amazon, and every dollar counts at this price point.

For those seeking alternatives, consider building your own collection. Two Prismatic Evolutions Booster Bundles (12 packs) cost approximately $137.98, while three bundles fetch $206.92 for 18 packs—more value without the collector's box extras. Alternatively, focus on specific singles, as prices are trending downward.

Big-box retailers like Amazon remain the least favorable places to shop for Pokémon cards, with the secondary market offering better deals. For instance, Prismatic Evolutions singles like Sylveon ex SIR have dropped 28% in value, from $562.60 to $400, presenting an opportune time to snag desired cards without the uncertainty of sealed products.
