I wasn’t planning on buying more Pokémon cards this week. Then I saw that the Scarlet & Violet – Surging Sparks Booster Bundle was still in stock on Amazon for $45.02, following its massive restock during the Pokémon TCG restock. The timing couldn't be better, with the Amazon Spring Sale in full swing, offering a plethora of hot sets to grab while supplies last. My willpower crumbled faster than a 60 HP Basic facing a 390-damage Hydreigon ex.
This Surging Sparks set is chaos in the best possible way. It features chase cards that are worthy of grading, such as the $432 Pikachu ex Special Illustration Rare. Yes, you read that right. This little electric mouse is not only a collector's dream but also a formidable force in battle. With Topaz Bolt, it can sweep the board, and Resolute Heart makes it incredibly tough to knock out.

The Latias ex and Latios duo are like a scene from a romance movie, with their artwork connected in a seamless narrative. Latias, the rarer twin, commands a higher price tag of over $200, proving that sibling rivalry extends to the card market. Meanwhile, Milotic ex showcases stunning light and shadow effects, doubling as a stylish card and a strategic counter to Tera Pokémon.
My personal highlight? Ceruledge. Its neon-inspired art gives off vibrant, dreamlike vibes, and I mean that in the best way. This marks the first time Ceruledge has been a valuable card, and illustrator Rond truly deserves recognition. Ceruledge might not be a top-tier competitor, but its artwork alone makes it a must-have.
If you're into collecting, the value potential here is undeniable. For players, some of these cards are game-changers on the battlefield. And if you're simply drawn to the allure of shiny things and the excitement of spending $45 on cardboard, you're in good company. I've already opened one box and am now convincing myself I need another for "research."
The bundle contains six booster packs, so there's no guarantee of pulling heavy hitters, but given how quickly these are selling out, don't wait too long. Pikachu isn't going to pull itself.
