Amazon has restocked the Pokémon TCG: Prismatic Evolutions Surprise Boxes today—for $59.99. But is it actually worth paying double the MSRP? Right now, the TCG community is split: on one side, collectors sticking to the original retail price of $22.99; on the other, those willing to pay "market price" to secure a box quickly. This Amazon listing falls firmly in the latter category—sold and shipped directly by Amazon, making it a trusted source, but at a steep premium.
Pokémon TCG: Prismatic Evolutions Surprise Box
Each Surprise Box includes one of nine randomly selected foil promo cards featuring a special logo. While the MSRP is just $22.99, Amazon is currently pricing these at $59.99. Let’s break down whether that markup makes sense.
The box itself is well-designed and includes a unique stamped version of one Eeveelution ex card—either Eevee ex, Vaporeon ex, Jolteon ex, Flareon ex, Espeon ex, Umbreon ex, Leafeon ex, Glaceon ex, or Sylveon ex. These are eye-catching promos with collectible appeal, especially for fans of the Eevee evolution line. However, since the card is random and only one per box, the odds of pulling your favorite can feel frustratingly slim.
As a gift? Absolutely solid—it looks great and offers instant gratification. But if you're considering buying multiple boxes purely to chase specific promos, spending nearly $60 each adds up fast. At that rate, you could end up paying more than some high-end singles. So unless you're in it for the thrill of the pull, this might not be the most cost-effective route.
Prismatic Evolutions Stamped Surprise Box Cards
If your goal is simply to own one (or all) of these special stamped promos, purchasing individual cards through reputable marketplaces like TCGPlayer often makes more financial sense. Here's a look at current prices:
Umbreon ex - 060/131 (Prismatic Evolutions Stamp)
$59.99 at TCG Player
Eevee ex - 075/131
$17.25 at TCG Player
Flareon ex - 014/131
$14.95 at TCG Player
Jolteon ex - 030/131
$13.95 at TCG Player
Vaporeon ex - 023/131
$14.89 at TCG Player
Espeon ex - 034/131
$12.99 at TCG Player
Leafeon ex - 006/131
$12.99 at TCG Player
Glaceon ex - 026/131
$11.25 at TCG Player
Sylveon ex - 041/131 (Stamped)
$12.82 at TCG Player
Notice anything? The most expensive single—the Umbreon ex stamp—is priced exactly the same as one Surprise Box. Every other card comes in under $20. That means for the cost of two or three boxes from Amazon, you could complete the entire set of stamped promos outright. If you enjoy pack ripping and the surprise factor, go ahead—but know you're paying a significant premium for the experience.
