    PokeBeach Podcast: Van Gogh Museum Fires Employees for Pokemon Embezzling

    Shame on TPCI for botching this collaboration hardcore. They are the ones who made it almost impossible for the average person to get their hands on both the promo and the merchandise. They should have printed this card into oblivion but they didn’t and won’t and stuff like this happens as a result.

    Scoop Up Net Also Banned from Expanded Internationally

    Here is a solution me and my friend came up with a solution for our personal matches that largely fixes cards like these: We errated all cards that mention multiple rule boxes to include all rule boxes. For example with Scoop Up Net since it mentions GX’s and V’s specifically, it cannot scoop...

    They should do a lot of things, but they do not. Unfortunately.

    Van Gogh Pikachu Promos Being Pre-Scalped in the Netherlands, Another Botched Release Feared

    When did I say LGS’s are a good thing for the hobby? I’m just saying that this type of behavior was to be expected and tried to explain their reason for doing it (even though it’s scummy and wrong). Leagues hosted by big box retailers would be an interesting experiment… However, I don’t see...

    Van Gogh Pikachu Promos Being Pre-Scalped in the Netherlands, Another Botched Release Feared

    I’ve been of the mindset this was going to happen and have largely been proven right so far. Of course it’s wrong, but many of these stores aren’t going to pass up a free $10,000. There is also no incentive to “play by the rules” here. As stated in the article there is no way for distributors to...

    Van Gogh Pikachu Promos Being Pre-Scalped in the Netherlands, Another Botched Release Feared

    Store owners don’t set the market price. It isn’t their fault that one promo sells for upwards of $100 on the secondary market. Most store owners aren’t going to willingly give up $7-12k in potential profit to run the promotion as advertised. Is it scummy and wrong? Of course. But when you are...

    Van Gogh Pikachu Promo Releasing Again in February, Prices Dipping!

    Exactly! When these sell for upwards of $100-150 a card, why would they just give them away to customers? That is $10,000-15,000 in essentially free money that these stores are getting shipped to them. This is compared to the $3,000 they would roughly make from customers paying $30 to get a copy...

    Van Gogh Pikachu Promo Releasing Again in February, Prices Dipping!

    Almost all of them. When one copy of the card is worth well over $100, why would the employees and or managers not just take them for themselves? Each store will receive upwards of $10,000 worth of Van Gogh Pikachu promos per shipment. Even if this does not happen, expect scalpers to scoop these...

    “Paldea Adventures Chest” Revealed for March!

    Unfortunately I don’t think you can go from Sprigatito ex into Mewoscarada ex. You could with the old ex’s, but not these.

    Legendary Prerelease Raichu Certified and Graded for First Time!

    I personally consider it an error card and only collect major or well known errors. So if I was a Raichu collector, I would want this card.

    “Crown Zenith Premium Collection Pikachu VMAX” Coming to Walmart for Black Friday!

    These promos aren’t new. They came out earlier this year in an almost identical box. Also, what’s wrong with more Pikachu cards? It’s certainly better than getting more sets based around Charizard!

    “Shiny Treasure ex” Officially Revealed!

    Everyone has been talking about Charizard getting yet another shiny card, but has no one noticed the last time Pikachu got a shiny card was in Holon Phantoms back in 2006!? This needs to change.
