ETBs has seen a huge price hike here in Europe/Denmark with the release of Prismatic Evolutions - from 500DKK/ETB to 800DKK/ETB. Does anyone know if it reflects a new, higher MRSP or if it's just the hype train running off the rails? I'd like the Eevee promo card, but at this rate I'll just be getting it as a a single.
Its going crazy over here in the US right now too. Even bigger stores like Gamestop are starting to sell packs and products at market prices. My local card shop is charging $120 for the booster bundles. Its insane. I haven’t been able to find any packs in the wild. It seems like scalpers just wait at the stores for restocks. Eevee is one of my favorite mons but I wouldn’t pay over retail for anything, especially not to scalpers online.
I found that Surging Sparks was hard to find too. Ive started shying away from the TCG because I haven’t been able to pick up the cards and it kind of ruined the mood for my friends and I.
They have announced they will be reprinting Prismatic quite a bit, hopefully that helps bring the market back down.
It's not a higher MSRP, it's just stores wanting to earn more money.
