Pokémon Cards

The year 2021 was a great year for the Pokémon Trading Card game. Killer new sets, lots of great art, and the very nostalgia-heavy 25th anniversary set Celebrations made it a fun time to be back in the world of the TCG. What didn’t is that this was the year resellers turned a card game largely designed for young children into the next speculative market after sneakers and graphics cards, leaving Pokémon fans hysterical as they battled with hoarders over booster packs, and generally went perhaps a little too far in retail frenzy. Things have settled down more recently, at least, but for a while finding even a simple pack of cards felt like tracking down Mew.
