Amazon has recently restocked the Pokémon TCG: Prismatic Evolutions Surprise Boxes, priced at $59.99. This has sparked a lively debate within the TCG community about whether the box is worth the price, especially given its MSRP of $22.99. The box is sold and shipped directly by Amazon, aligning with the current market price of $59.99.
Each box includes one of nine randomly selected foil promo cards, each featuring a special logo. The cards are stamped versions of the Eeveelution ex series, including Eevee ex, Vaporeon ex, Jolteon ex, Flareon ex, Espeon ex, Umbreon ex, Leafeon ex, Glaceon ex, or Sylveon ex. While the box itself is visually appealing and the cards are unique, the randomness of receiving only one card per box raises questions about its value at $59.99.
The box could be considered a nice gift, but for those looking to collect all the Eeveelutions or simply enjoy opening packs, the cost might not justify the experience. It has, however, garnered attention among IGN's Daily Deals readers, suggesting a certain appeal despite the price.

For those primarily interested in the promo cards, purchasing singles might be a more cost-effective option. For instance, the Umbreon ex card, the most expensive of the set, is available at TCGPlayer for $59.99, matching the price of one Surprise Box. Other Eeveelution ex cards are priced well below $20 each, making it possible to assemble a complete collection for the cost of two to three Surprise Boxes.

The chase cards from the Prismatic Evolutions set, such as the Umbreon SIR, have seen significant price drops since their release. The Umbreon SIR, initially priced over $1,500, is now available for around $1,100. Other chase cards have also fallen below the $500 mark, offering collectors a chance to acquire these sought-after cards at more reasonable prices.
The Prismatic Evolutions expansion for Scarlet & Violet has been incredibly popular, driving demand due to its challenging pull rates and limited availability. For those looking to stay engaged with the Pokémon TCG without overpaying, here are some of the best deals currently available from trusted U.S. retailers.
