Amazon has restocked the Pokémon TCG: Prismatic Evolutions Surprise Boxes today, priced at $59.99. This sparks a lively debate within the TCG community, split between those advocating for the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $22.99 and those willing to pay the current market price of $59.99. Sold and shipped directly by Amazon, these boxes fall into the market price category, which significantly exceeds the MSRP. This situation makes for an intriguing discussion, regardless of where you stand on the pricing debate.

Pokémon TCG: Prismatic Evolutions Surprise Box

Each box includes one of nine randomly selected foil promo cards, each featuring a special logo. These cards include the stamped versions of the Eeveelution ex series: Eevee ex, Vaporeon ex, Jolteon ex, Flareon ex, Espeon ex, Umbreon ex, Leafeon ex, Glaceon ex, or Sylveon ex. While the packaging is appealing and the cards themselves are a delightful addition for collectors, the randomness of receiving just one card per box can make the high price of $59.99 seem less appealing.

Is it a thoughtful gift? Absolutely. However, buying multiple boxes in hopes of collecting your favorite Eeveelutions might not be the most practical choice at this price point.

Despite the cost, these boxes have garnered significant interest among IGN's Daily Deals readers. When considering a purchase, it's wise to make an informed decision, keeping in mind the value and potential randomness of the contents.

For those seeking specific cards, purchasing singles from reputable sources like TCGPlayer might be a more cost-effective option. Below, you'll find the top Prismatic Evolutions cards currently available for purchase.

While spending over a thousand dollars on a single Pokémon card might seem excessive, the value of the Umbreon SIR has notably decreased since its release, now at $1100, a drop of roughly $500. The other chase cards from Prismatic Evolutions have also fallen below the $500 mark, with the Roaring Moon ex SIR currently at $221. These prices could potentially decrease further as the year progresses, but they currently offer a good deal compared to recent market trends.
