When will Pokemon cards be available in stores for MSRP again? I’m wondering how long this scalper generation of Pokemon will last. Demand and prices for cards are high now because kids who collected in the past are collecting again with their own money.
Since kids of the current generation can’t even get their hands on enough cards to collect or play unless they’re parents are willing to pay a premium, they’re not going to have that nostalgia and demand when they get older and have their own money.
By that time the current adults who are buying up cards might still be into it, but maybe as they get older they’ll stop and there will be a gap where neither of those generations are buying cards and presumably prices will drop and availability will go back up. Pokemon company must be planning for this and maybe will boost supply soon to build nostalgia for future generations to close that gap. What’s their long play?
I'm not a Pokemon card collector - I used to play TCG when I was a kid, but didn't really continue and played a little bit of TCG Pocket recently. Safe to say I'm an amateur. The closest I get to collecting cards is Yu-Gi-Oh but I do that more for the love of the game and don't really care about grading.
So, my question are not necessarily what the PSA is and how they grade, but some more in-depth questions that are maybe not obvious at a glance
I realize I could look up most of these questions, but I did just want to chat about what, as an outside, seems like a flawed system and see what people who are not streamers or public figures think about the system
Thank you in advance!
