Pokémon TCG’s crossover featuring Pikachu as Van Gogh ran out of stock immediately, but those who paid over the odds are going to regret it.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT What was supposed to be an adorable collaboration card for the Pokémon Trading Card Game with Amsterdam's Van Gogh Museum became a chaotic frenzy for collectors and scalpers who wanted to get a copy of the special Van Gogh Pikachu card.
Pokémon cards have always been plagued by issues with scalpers causing prices of certain promos and rare cards to skyrocket. While many have ideas on how to prevent scalpers, the issue seems to be one that has not been addressed directly by Pokémon and makes it difficult for lovers of the franchise who may not have thousands of dollars lying around.
Outrageous Pokémon Card Prices Online Prove That Sometimes It's Better To Be Patient Currently, the Pikachu With Grey Felt Hat Promo card is being valued at a market price on TCGPlayer of $84.54 USD, with auctions on eBay having sold for as high as $1,734.46 on the day the promotion began. With another round of cards now expected to come, this price could continue to drop, depending on how many cards end up eventually being released.
Following the chaos that occurred at the debut of the Van Gogh Pikachu, a restriction was put on the card to keep the remaining supply held for people who physically attend the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, yet this did little to stop the immediate deficit of products. This promotion is said to go until January 2024, although it has not been established if the museum's stock of cards will be replenished.
