I wasn't planning on expanding my Pokémon card collection this week, but then I spotted the Scarlet & Violet – Surging Sparks Booster Bundle still available on Amazon for $45.02 during their massive Pokémon TCG restock. The timing couldn't be better, with the Amazon Spring Sale in full swing, offering a variety of popular sets while supplies last. My willpower crumbled faster than a 60 HP Basic facing a 390-damage Hydreigon ex.
My favorite? The Surging Sparks set is pure chaos in the best possible way. It features chase cards worthy of grading, like the $432 Pikachu ex Special Illustration Rare. No typo there—the electric mouse is not only a valuable collectible but also a powerhouse in battles. Topaz Bolt can clear the board, and Resolute Heart makes it tough to take down.

Then there's the Latias ex and Latios combo, pulling a full-on romance movie moment with matching connected artwork. Latias, being the rarer and pricier twin at over $200, seems to carry that big sibling energy. Meanwhile, Milotic ex is all about that supermodel vibe with its light and shadow play, also adept at countering Tera Pokémon.
My personal favorite? Ceruledge. It's like a neon fever dream, and I mean that in the best way. This marks the first time its card has been truly valuable, and I think illustrator Rond deserves applause. Ceruledge may not be a top-tier competitive Pokémon, but with this art, who cares?
If you're a collector, the value potential is undeniable. If you're a player, some of these cards can dominate on the battlefield. And if you just enjoy shiny things and the thrill of gambling $45 on cardboard, welcome to the club. I've already opened one box, and now I'm telling myself I "need" another for research.
The bundle includes six booster packs, so you're not guaranteed any heavy hitters, but with how quickly these are selling, I wouldn't wait too long. Pikachu isn't going to pull itself.
