Amazon's latest Pokémon card pricing is bordering on absurdity. The Prismatic Evolutions Super Premium Collection now carries an eye-watering $259.99 tag - that's nearly triple its original $89.99 MSRP. Meanwhile, Walmart practically gifted these boxes last year at just $59.99.
If you absolutely must have this set, TCG Player offers slight relief at $224.43 (Market Price). Still painful, but you'll pocket over $35 savings compared to Amazon's highway robbery.

Here's some wallet-friendly wisdom: The Premium Collection contains 15 booster packs, but savvy collectors can build better bundles privately. Two Booster Bundles (12 packs) cost roughly $137.98, or grab three bundles (18 packs) for $206.92 - more cards, less cash, minus the fancy packaging.
Better yet? Skip booster luck entirely. With Prismatic Evolutions singles dipping across the board, now's prime hunting season for specific cards. Retail stores clearly don't understand Pokémon economics anymore - secondary markets prove it daily.

While cards like Roaring Moon ex SIR maintain steady values, many Prismatic Evolutions stars are nosediving spectacularly - and that's your window.
Hear me out: spending $200+ on singles sounds insane... until you realize the absurd pull rates. Those Pokéball/Masterball reverse holos sabotage Special Illustration Rare odds horribly. At over $10 per pack, you could burn thousands chasing one card.
Take Sylveon ex SIR's breathtaking artwork - its value plunged 28% since May from $562.60 to ~$400. That $260 Super Premium Collection? Probably won't contain it anyway.
