Top chase card (Pikachu Ex) at £243.82 — you'd need roughly 0.9 boxes worth of value to break even on pull rate alone.
Surging Sparks booster boxes are currently trading at £218, representing an 18.4% decline over the past six months, suggesting a potential buying opportunity. With an AI rating of 13/25 and a sealed/singles ratio of 23.20x, these boxes appear overvalued relative to their singles, particularly considering the top chase card, Pikachu Ex, is valued at £244. The in-print status of the set may continue to exert downward pressure on box prices, making it essential to carefully consider investment decisions. Given the sub-scores, scarcity is a significant concern, which may impact long-term box value, but liquidity and mascot power are positives.
The Pokemon Centre Surging Sparks ETB is the Pokemon Centre ETB for this set, currently averaging £209.03 on eBay UK. ETBs carry a grading premium — the promo card can be worth significantly more in PSA 10.
