It's crazy to me how big Pokémon has become. I remember growing up as a kid, I was one of the few children who watched or played Pokémon. I collected all the games up to Pokémon Black, and I collected the cards. But, they were in storage when I was 13, and we couldn't stay on top of the bills, so they sold all of our stuff. Vintage Pokémon items from late 90s to mid 2000s, Pokémon cards I collected over the years through events and video games that I personally spent with my chore money. I was devastated and didn't play for almost a decade. Still love Pokémon, but when I think back to all my things it generally upsets me thinking how much I could have made.
@whereaboutsunknown3822

I think what he means is that he’s buying them wholesale, not rushing into Walmarts buying all the packs at 6am before parents and their kids have a chance to get some. So that kind of buying isn’t “taking” them from kids in the same way since kids/parents wouldn’t be buying them wholesale like him. But yes this sort of thing is leading to a shortage in Japan too as mentioned in the video.

Don't worry, they've doubled production on cards to put vultures like this out of business. The worth of all the new sets has been completely slashed and it's way easier to get cards in stores now. Might take a bit of time for some of the people less aware of Pokemon Cards to realise they aren't going to make any money buying out the store, but it'll happen eventually.

Probably because they are purposely inflating the prices of worthless paper cards 1000folds. But they sell to different markets for cheaper prices. Ie. A USA medication pill will cost 2 pennies in India but $100 in the US. We'll I imagine this sort of like buying a bunch of pills for 2 cents in India and selling them back to Americans at a higher price, but still a good deal for them. Except is this case they won't fcking kill you/throw you in a jail box forever... because you know the big drug companies don't mess around when it comes to their profits.
