Amazon has restocked the Pokémon TCG: Prismatic Evolutions Surprise Boxes today at $59.99. The big question on everyone's mind is: **Is it worth it?** Within the TCG community, opinions are split between those who stick to the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $22.99 and those willing to pay the current "Market Price" of $59.99. This Surprise Box, sold and shipped by Amazon, falls into the market price category, significantly above the MSRP. The ongoing debate makes for a fascinating look at collector and player perspectives.
Pokémon TCG: Prismatic Evolutions Surprise Box
Each box includes one of nine randomly selected foil promo cards, each with a special logo. While the MSRP stands at $22.99, Amazon's price is $59.99. Let's delve into whether spending $59.99 on this set is justified. The box itself is attractive, and it's exciting to receive stamped versions of the Eeveelution ex cards: Eevee ex, Vaporeon ex, Jolteon ex, Flareon ex, Espeon ex, Umbreon ex, Leafeon ex, Glaceon ex, or Sylveon ex. However, you only get one card per box, chosen at random. Calculating the odds of collecting all these cards can be daunting, especially at Amazon's pricing.
Is it a nice gift? Absolutely. But is it practical to buy multiple boxes just to rip them open and hope for your favorite Eeveelution? At $59.99, it might not be the most economical choice.
Prismatic Evolution Stamped Surprise Box Cards

Despite the high price, these boxes have been a hit with IGN's Daily Deals readers. However, it's essential to make informed decisions. I recommend considering purchasing individual cards from trusted retailers like TCGPlayer if you're after specific Eeveelutions.

If your primary interest in the Surprise Box is the promo cards, it might be more cost-effective to buy the cards individually. The most expensive card, Umbreon, is priced the same as one Surprise Box, while the others are well under $20. For the price of two to three Surprise Boxes, you could potentially complete your collection. If you enjoy the thrill of opening packs and pulling these promos yourself, then by all means, go for it—but it will come at a higher cost.

Spending over a thousand dollars on a Pokémon card might seem extreme, but the Umbreon SIR has dropped significantly since its release, now at $1100—a decrease of around $500. All other chase cards from Prismatic Evolutions have fallen below $500, with the Roaring Moon ex SIR at $221 at the time of writing. These prices may continue to decline as the year progresses and attention shifts, offering good value compared to the inflated Pokémon card market a month ago.
