You see any of those videos where adult children were storming costcos to fight over a pallet of cards? Just omg living in this country is a daily humiliation ritual
For a while, big box stores like Target and Walmart stopped carrying trading cards of any kind because people were getting into physical altercations in the store and parking lot over Pokémon cards. People would go in and buy a whole display, then get jumped in the parking lot by people casing the place.
The shitty part is, these are scalpers doing the “buy for$1, sell for $2” way of making money. The cards aren’t being bought by children who enjoy Pokémon. They’re being bought by adults trying to make extra cash in a niche market with no regulations that’s a complete black hole and a total void.
Not those, but I’ve seen vids of people walking into target and just grabbing entire fresh displays and taking them directly the register. Pretty messed up.

Oh yea i saw that in tiktok with the new pokemon cards, sometimes they dont even make a profit because they take too long to sell them.
