Pokemon Center Just Pushed Back Against Scalpers in the Best Way
✖
If you are a Pokemon fan, then you have no doubt noticed something unusual within the fandom. The franchise is growing by the day like usual, but it is attracting more scalpers than ever before. Even the heyday of Pokemon had fewer scalpers than there are now, and they are all gunning for trading cards. And after tons of complaints, the Pokemon Center in Tokyo just did something to combat any opportunistic scalpers in search of new cards.
The whole thing began when Pokemon prepared to bring out its newest Sword and Shield expansion set. The packs, which are known as Silver Lance and Black Geist, went on sale last week to the delight of many. Of course, the set will not hit the overseas market for a while, but Pokemon fans in Japan have been waiting to score some packs. But as always, they had to deal with scalpers.
