SAVE $8.12: As of Oct. 22, the Pokémon TCG Surging Sparks Elite Trainer Box can be found for $74.82 on TCGplayer, in contrast to $82.94 on Amazon.
Do you recall Surging Sparks? With Mega Evolution flying off the shelves as soon as it’s restocked and Phantasmal Flames preorders constantly fluctuating, it’s understandable that trainers might overlook it. Both the sealed Surging Sparks products and individual cards are now becoming more reasonably priced as reprints of the legacy Scarlet and Violet expansions from Pokémon TCG are starting to appear in stores.
The Surging Sparks ETB is priced at $74.82 on TCGplayer, offering a discount of $8.12 compared to the inflated $82.94 on Amazon. This exemplifies how large retailers aim to boost their profit margins by capitalizing on hype, which I find disagreeable. Fortunately, sellers on TCGplayer mostly adhere to fair market value pricing.
Trainers will receive eight Surging Sparks booster packs, a collection of 65 deck sleeves that correspond to the Pikachu theme of the Elite Trainer Box, a set of dice, card dividers, a card storage box, and a promo Magneton Illustration Rare card.

The prices on sealed products are decreasing, and the same is true for Surging Sparks single cards. The Pikachu ex SIR was nearing $600 earlier this year, making it an opportune moment to acquire the coveted chase cards in this Scarlet and Violet Pokémon TCG expansion. Hydreigon ex SIR for under $50? Absolutely. Here are the Surging Sparks cards that should take center stage in your binder:
