Please Arrest Them

I want Nintendo to flood the market to kill the card economy. This is crazy.

Its like the entire hobby are populated by 10% real collectors, another 10% children and card enthusiast and the rest are scalper and grifter

My roommate works at a Meijer and they hire a individual person to restock the Pokémon cards for the store. The person who does the restocking has to check her car for airtags because Pokémon scalpers will literally track her routes so they can be first to catch a restock. The worst part is someone tracked her home and broke into her house to steal Pokémon product. Absolute craziness.

It's genuinely so sad... I went to a game store with my little brother last week because he was looking for Pokémon cards to play against his friends with at school. He walks in, looks around for a couple minutes until the store owner comes over and asked what my little brother was looking for. We said Pokémon. The owner said "we went out of stock last week when someone bought the entire inventory the day it was delivered to us." These people are so greedy amd inconsiderate towards actual fans who just want to have a good time

Imagine going to jail and getting asked "whatya in for" and you have to say armed robbery of pokemon cards

Fun fact: I work at a cannabis grow. There have been way less incidents involving robbery in the entire history* of Colorado’s cannabis industry than Pokémon-related crimes in just the span of one year.

I work at House of Cards. Thanks for showing what we've been going through. The support really helps. Keep spreading awareness of these horrible incidents. Hopefully, people will stop these attacks on the TCG community. Thanks again, Jo

Most of those Guys aren't even smart. At a Store near me a guy stole a pricy Pokemon Card Out of a Binder while looking at it and tried to sell it to the SAME Store a week later

Kids activities just aren’t affordable to kids anymore. Pokémon cards and legos are the two best examples, their prices are entirely out of the question for the majority of kids and families, it’s saddening.

I've been to this store before, its a really cool store with playing space upstairs. Hope the owners are doing alright. These scumbags 100% scouted the place first, ran a sim, knew exactly what they were going to take and probably knew where the closest police station was. Lately its been like that, and now they've upgraded to chain and hooks to yanking cages out. There's been a series of robberies of LGS in Vancouver, all with stolen plates. I've been keeping track of all fresh faces at my LGS, see and checking if they are doing scouting behavior and marking down license vehicle plates (while they visiting). Even store owners are starting to empty our their showcases on closing to minimize potential damage.
