The Pokémon scalper war in Japan has reached a breaking point.
Stores are now literally cutting the corners of booster packs at checkout to kill the resale value.
If we’ve reached the point where we have to mutilate the product just to keep it in the hands of fans, the hobby is in serious trouble.
This isn't a solution; it’s a symptom.
And it’s only going to get uglier.
Valid move or total desperation?
The 30th Anniversary announcement seriously brought back Pokémon Pikachu FOMO, and @nishida_yuu's McDonald's promo is now the most popular item from SNKRDUNK.
I'm wondering whether my Japanese friends know something that we don't?
Oh Fyn, my dear Fyn.
Tempted to start a "Walk of Shame" for Pokémon scalpers.
Let’s show the community the absurd quantities these hoarders sit on while real collectors get left empty-handed. They don't care about the hobby, just profit.

So stoked to discover @atsuko_nishida artist of the Eevee Munch I just bought, also illustrated the new Pikachu 25/30 from 30th CELEBRATION
She’s also the legend behind the unique Pokémon Illustrator and the Gardevoir & Sylveon GX SA!
True GOAT 💫
