My Favorite Surging Sparks Chase CardsPikachu ex - 238/191 - SV08$431.99 at TCGPlayerLatias ex - 239/191 - SV08$499.95 at TCG PlayerMilotic ex - 237/191 - SV08$147.00 at TCG PlayerPikachu ex - 247/191 - SV08$120.92 at TCG PlayerHydreigon ex - 240/191 - SV08$84.69 at TCG PlayerSurging Sparks has some unreal chase cards, making a massive shift in art quallity in the Scarlet and Violet era. The Special Illustration Rare Pikachu ex is going for around $430, and Latias ex is even higher at nearly $500. Milotic ex is another banger at about $150 thanks to an ability that blocks damage from Tera Pokmon. Hydreigon ex is strong too, with a deck-discarding attack thats super viable for play. Even the Hyper Rare Pikachu ex holds value at around $120. I dont expect to pull any of these, but the odds keep things interesting.In my opinion, this is the kind of deal thats perfect for casual collectors like me, or anyone who enjoys the chaos of pulling something rare right after saying, Just one more pack. I know better than to promise a Pikachu EX SIR in every box, but Ill absolutely take my chances when I dont have to pay a third-party markup for the privilege.What We Said in Our Review"Surging Sparks is packed with over 250 new cards, including special illustration rares you'll want to display and hyper rares that could redefine your collection. These aren't just cards; they're instant eye-catchers that bring a tropical vibe to the table.""Every booster pack feels like a potential game-changer with pulls like the terrastallized Pikachu EX and the stunning Latias EX & Latios Full Art. Surging Sparks is about delivering the goods, whether you're in it for the strategic edge or hunting down those high-value collectibles. It's got style, substance, and a buzz that's hard to ignore."Pokmon TCG: Scarlet and Violet - Surging Sparks - Credit: Christian WaitIf youre building a deck, feeding a binder addiction, or just gifting this to a kid so you can secretly open the packs yourself later, this is your chance.
