Amazon has restocked the Pokémon TCG: Prismatic Evolutions Surprise Boxes today, priced at $59.99. The big question on everyone's mind: **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 who are willing to pay the current "Market Price" of $59.99.
These Surprise Boxes are sold and shipped directly by Amazon, aligning with the market price, which is significantly higher than the MSRP. The debate over this pricing is intriguing, no matter which side you're on.
Pokémon TCG: Prismatic Evolutions Surprise Box
Each box includes one of nine randomly selected foil promo cards, each featuring a special logo. These cards are stamped versions of the popular Eeveelution ex cards: Eevee ex, Vaporeon ex, Jolteon ex, Flareon ex, Espeon ex, Umbreon ex, Leafeon ex, Glaceon ex, or Sylveon ex. While the box itself is appealing and the cards are a nice addition to any collection, you only receive one card per box, selected at random. The odds of collecting all nine can be daunting, especially at Amazon's current pricing.
As a gift, the Surprise Box is certainly appealing. However, for those looking to open multiple boxes in hopes of pulling their favorite Eeveelution, the $59.99 price tag might give you pause.

Despite the high price, these boxes have been a hit among IGN's Daily Deals readers. Ultimately, the decision to purchase is yours, but consider this a friendly heads-up.
If you're only after the promo cards, buying them individually from trusted retailers like TCGPlayer might be a more cost-effective option. Let's take a look at the top Prismatic Evolutions cards available for purchase today.

If your interest lies solely in the promo cards, purchasing them individually could be more economical. The priciest card, Umbreon, matches the cost of one Surprise Box, while the others are well under $20. For the price of two to three Surprise Boxes, you could complete your collection. If the thrill of opening packs and hoping to pull these promos is what you're after, be prepared for the cost.

Spending over a thousand dollars on a Pokémon card might seem extreme, but the Umbreon SIR has seen a significant price drop since its release, now sitting at $1100, down by about $500. Other chase cards from Prismatic Evolutions have also fallen below the $500 mark, with the Roaring Moon ex SIR dropping to $221. These prices may continue to decrease as the year progresses and attention shifts, but they represent a good deal compared to the inflated Pokémon card market just a month ago.
