A hundred thousand dollars for Pokémon merchandise?
Oh you sweet summer child. There are individual cards that go for that.
Those cards are never in stores. Cards that are still in rotation aren't that expensive (unlees the thieves managed to get half the store's merch)
If you look at the picture from the article, it seems like it's a specialty store that has some special cards on display. I'm sure the most expensive aren't on display, but it's possible they had some pricy cards and collectibles out.
Don’t say never. The only time i’ve seen a black lotus irl was in my LGS.
Holy shit, I think I had that one...
Yeah, I guess, not hugely surprising after all, when the place is stocked like a jeweller's shop...
Gotta catch 'em all I guess.
Dumb, slabs are serialized. They'd need to unslab them which is risky and usually doesn't result in the same grading.
