As I've mentioned in a couple of other articles today, Amazon has recently restocked a whole bunch of rare Pokémon TCG sets for Labor Day, and there are some hot goods up for grabs right now if you're fast enough.
Scarlet & Violet—Prismatic Evolutions Super-Premium Collection is now available again and in stock at Amazon for $274.99. The listed median price for these is around $310, according to TCGplayer, so at $274.99, you're getting a fairly good price (albeit still well above MSRP).
The market price is a little lower at around $257.54, meaning you could potentially save a few bucks by buying through the resale market on TCGplayer or eBay. Just remember that those prices don't necessarily include delivery, so the gap can narrow pretty quickly.
Amazon is still a solid option if you've got some credit or gift cards burning a hole in your account, or if you'd rather have the peace of mind of buying a brand-new, guaranteed-sealed box directly from a major retailer instead of a third-party seller.
For reference, Prismatic Evolutions Super-Premium Collection includes:
But why is Prismatic Evolutions still so popular for collectors and general players? The Scarlet & Violet set is still monunmentally popular, and goes from strength to strength, pretty much because of its hot card pull potential.
When these sets can potentially bag you a $1500 ultra rare, such as Umbreon ex - 161/131 (the most valuable card from last year) sometimes the high cost is considered worth it. I'm not entirely convinced myself, as after buying more than a few of these, you're halfway there to just buying the pricey card outright anyway.
Still! If you think these will bounce up in value further, you could always pick up one to open, and another to keep as an investment to see how it appreciates in value in the future.
