Over time, the Trading Card Game (TCG) has increasingly become a phenomenon and has been influenced by the rising value of Pokémon cards, showing significant growth.
Recently, the scarcity of Prismatic Evolutions has significantly impacted the market, causing the prices of these Pokémon cards to rise sharply. Furthermore, many retailers have adjusted their pricing strategies or changed sales policies to further increase prices.
It is possible to become wealthy simply by collecting rare cards, akin to the current craze surrounding Baby Three cards, causing Pokémon collectors to go “crazy” more than ever.
The increasing demand for Pokémon TCG products has made it difficult for collectors and casual players to participate in the market due to the rapid price hikes. The prices continue to soar, particularly following an incident involving a TikToker named Pokecentral recently.
In a recent video, this TikToker surprised many by posting a video showcasing the entire stock of a Pokémon card store, purchasing all the Prismatic Evolutions packs and proceeding to deplete the inventory by placing bulk orders. The video quickly caught the attention of many gamers, leading to widespread discussions about this move. It is reported that this individual spent around $1,700 (nearly 50 million VND) to buy out the entire stock. Moreover, with the potential release of ultra-rare cards such as Umbreon EX, prices could climb even higher.
Many Pokémon fans expressed their dismay at this video. A significant portion shared a sentiment of “disappointment.” While this could be viewed as playful banter, it highlights the growing frustration among collectors concerning the current market conditions, particularly in the wake of the TikToker’s recent actions.
