I wasn’t planning on buying more Pokémon cards this week, but then I stumbled upon the Scarlet & Violet – Surging Sparks Booster Bundle still in stock on Amazon for $45.02, right after a massive Pokémon TCG restock. The timing couldn't be better, with the Amazon Spring Sale in full swing, offering a plethora of hot sets while supplies last. My willpower crumbled faster than a 60 HP Basic facing off against a 390-damage Hydreigon ex.
This Surging Sparks set is chaos in the best way possible. It features chase cards that are worthy of being slabbed, like the $432 Pikachu ex Special Illustration Rare. No, that’s not a typo. This little electric mouse is not only a prized collectible but also a powerhouse in battle. Its Topaz Bolt move can clear almost anything off the board, while Resolute Heart makes it incredibly tough to knock out.

Then there’s the Latias ex and Latios combo, pulling a full-on romance movie moment with their matching connected artwork. Latias, the rarer and more expensive twin, is valued at over $200. It seems that big sibling energy comes with a higher price tag. Meanwhile, Milotic ex is out here channeling its inner supermodel with dramatic light and shadow, and it also counters Tera Pokémon like a meta card.
My personal favorite? Ceruledge. It’s giving neon fever dreams, and I mean that as a compliment. This is the first time its card has been valuable, and I think illustrator Rond deserves a standing ovation—or at least a coffee. Ceruledge isn’t even a top-tier Pokémon competitively, but with this art, I couldn’t care less.
If you're a collector, the value potential is undeniable. If you're a player, some of these cards are game-changers on the battlefield. And if you just enjoy shiny things and the thrill of gambling $45 on cardboard, welcome to the club. I've already opened one box, and I’m convincing myself I “need” another for science.The bundle includes six booster packs, so you’re not guaranteed any heavy hitters, but with the rate at which people are snapping these up, I wouldn't wait too long. Pikachu isn’t going to pull itself.
