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 Pokémon and One Piece card shortage isn't just a "high demand" issue - it's a corporate betrayal from the inside It's time we talk about it! For months, players were told that manufacturers like Bandai and The Pokémon Company were keeping production tight to "stabilize brand image" and maintain scarcity. We complained, asked for more reprints, and blamed TPC. They aren't just consumers looking for a product anymore; they are victims of a rigged distribution system. But the truth is far uglier. 🧵👇🏼 CAREFUL - JAPANESE TCG ABOUT TO BLOW 👀

The manufacturers aren’t the villains here - they are the ones finally moving to protect the market. The real enemies are the corrupt middlemen destroying the trust between makers, shops, and players. Empty promises won't fix this. It’s time for the manufacturers to completely sever contracts, halt shipments, and give local shops the transparency they deserve to see who stabbed them in the back.

The intersection of digital packs and TCGs is becoming increasingly popular. Phygital Tokenization, RWA, and Gamified Loot ‘Gacha’ seem to have conquered the space, but is this just the beginning? Who is missing, and who is building the new revolution of digital collectibles?

2 months later. Commitment at its finest. Connecting with and reaching more of you every single day. I hope to keep meeting great Pokémon collectors and networking with all the great people I've met so far 💫
Couldn’t agree more, Meg. The Pokémon community is such a warm one on X. I’m glad to be part of it.

WHEN ENOUGH IS ENOUGH?! Ms. Leanda Channer clearly thinks she can become a subsidiary warehouse for Pokémon Center products. Do you want to say anything to her? Not only does trying to get a drop at PC suck because of the archaic queue system, but now we have to witness this hoarding of products?! Multiple accounts, bots, and farming. How did we come to this?

Part 2 They are choosing radio silence.
Out of curiosity, I reached out to @ShogunCityStars on IG (a well-renowned one) as they were advertising a pre-sale for 20 pieces of the Pokémon 30th Anniversary Booster box: Retail price: ¥7,216 ($45) ShogunCityStars pre-order price: $420 This is why the hobby is fucked up.

How long will it actually take to get my cards back from TAG? They were received on April 21st under Score service, but I read things got messy even for them. Are all grading companies struggling with global demand at this point?

Time for a vibe check: Are we still into Pokémon or have we moved To Infinity and Beyond? Because this is a 7k card and I need to understand HOW.

PSA Europe's new facility will start accepting submissions from authorized PSA dealers in continental Europe and Ireland from July 15. On-site grading from August 10. Will this help relieve the pressure on their 14M reported backlog?

We all know which of the two Sylveon variants will go down in history as the best illustration ever.

There was a time when Pokémon Chinese TCG was cheap and fun to rip. Now you need to sell your mom and take a loan to purchase a freaking gift box with 2 promos and 15 packs. Embarrassing.

Hot take: Dragonite is the best Flying-type Pokémon from the Kanto region.
