Amazon has returned to its notorious practice of overpricing Pokémon cards. The Prismatic Evolutions Super Premium Collection is currently listed at an eye-watering $259.99 - nearly triple its original $89.99 MSRP, marking an outrageous 189% markup. Walmart previously offered the same set for just $59.99 last year.
Better Shopping Alternatives
For collectors determined to purchase the set, TCG Player offers slightly fairer pricing at $224.43 (Market Price). While still expensive, this represents over $35 in savings compared to Amazon - significant at this price tier.

Smarter Purchase Strategies
The Super Premium Collection contains 15 booster packs, but savvy collectors can assemble better deals:
- Two Booster Bundles (12 packs) cost approximately $137.98
- Three Booster Bundles (18 packs) total $206.92 - more cards for less money
Alternatively, consider purchasing single cards while prices dip. Current market trends show declining values for many Prismatic Evolutions cards, presenting ideal buying opportunities for specific wants.

Current Market Insights
While some chase cards maintain value, many Prismatic Evolutions gems are experiencing price drops:
- Sylveon ex SIR plunged 28% from $562.60 to approximately $400
- Pull rates remain challenging due to Pokéball/Masterball holos
- Individual booster packs exceed $10 with poor ROI
Collectors targeting specific cards often fare better buying singles rather than gambling on sealed product.
