All prices in USD, as of mid-October 2026. Here’s a number that will shock you. Of the 347 priced cards in Prismatic Evolutions, one Umbreon accounts for about a quarter of the entire set’s value… One flipping card! We love Eevee and the Eeveelutions as much as the guy (or gal), but that’s a lot

The XY era, we know you remember it, ran from early 2014 through late 2016. It produced one of the most impressive sealed investment stories we have ever seen in all of the Pokémon TCG, and it is a story that usually goes unnoticed. Yes, Evolutions exist, and overall it was and still is insane.
