This set has quickly become a hot topic among collectors and scalpers, with certain cards fetching high prices due to their rarity and appeal. Here's a rundown of the most sought-after and valuable chase cards from this new collection.
The Most Valuable Prismatic Evolution Pokemon TCG Cards
As the set is fresh off the press, the market is still adjusting to the rarity and demand for these chase cards. Here are the top cards that enthusiasts are eager to add to their collections, especially from the Elite Trainer Boxes.
10. Pikachu EX (Hyper Rare)
Despite not being an Eevee-related card, the Hyper Rare Pikachu EX has secured a spot among the most valuable cards in the Prismatic Evolutions set. The enduring popularity of Pikachu ensures that this card remains a top pick for collectors, currently valued at around $280 on platforms like TCG Player.
9. Flareon EX (Illustration Rare)
Flareon, often considered the least popular of the original Eeveelutions, still commands a significant price due to its nostalgic value. The Special Illustration Rare EX card of Flareon is currently listed at around $300 on eBay, making it one of the more affordable high-value cards in the set.
8. Glaceon EX (Illustration Rare)
Glaceon, the Ice-type Eeveelution, may not be as hyped as some of its counterparts, but its unique ability to attack benched Pokemon and automatically KO those with 6 damage counters has made it a valuable asset. The Glaceon EX card is currently priced at around $450 on TCG Player.
7. Vaporeon EX (Illustration Rare)
Vaporeon, one of the original Eeveelutions, holds a special place in many fans' hearts. The stunning stained-glass background of its EX Special Illustration Rare card has contributed to its high demand, with current listings around $500 on TCG Player.
6. Espeon EX (Illustration Rare)
Espeon, though less popular than Umbreon, has its own dedicated fanbase. The ability of this EX card to un-evolve opponents' cards adds to its appeal. The Special Illustration Rare Espeon EX is currently valued at around $600, making it one of the rarer and pricier cards in the set.
5. Jolteon EX (Illustration Rare)
Jolteon, the Electric-type Eeveelution, completes the original trio. Its EX Special Illustration Rare card, with a retro background, has seen some price volatility but is currently listed between $600 and nearly $700, depending on the seller.
4. Leafeon EX (Illustration Rare)
Leafeon, the Grass-type evolution of Eevee, is in close competition for the third most expensive slot. Its EX Illustration Rare card, featuring a Terastalyzed Leafeon in a tree, is not only visually appealing but also functional in battles with its ability to heal benched Pokemon. It's currently selling for around $750 on TCG Player.
3. Sylveon EX (Illustration Rare)
Sylveon, the Fairy-type Eeveelution, has been gaining popularity and is challenging Umbreon's dominance. Its EX card, with a fairy-type Terastal crown design, is highly sought after and currently listed at $750 on TCG Player for the English version.
2. Umbreon Master Ball Holo
Umbreon cards are known for their high value, and the Master Ball Holo from the Prismatic Evolutions set is no exception. It recently sold for $900 on TCG Player, with near-mint versions listed even higher. While not as rare as Illustration Rare EX cards, Master Ball holos are still scarce enough to command such prices.
1. Umbreon EX (Illustration Rare)
Topping the list is the Umbreon EX Illustration Rare, featuring a Terastalized Umbreon with a crown. This card is currently the most expensive in the set, with the English-language version listed at $1700 on TCG Player. While prices may stabilize as supply issues are addressed, Umbreon EX is likely to remain one of the priciest cards in the Prismatic Evolutions set.
