Pokemon Card Price Shock: Target’s Secret Reseller Markup Madness!
More recent Pokemon Trading Card Game (TCG) collections such as Surging Sparks and Prismatic Evolutions have faced significant scarcity issues similar to those seen during the Sword and Shield era of the TCG. The lack of available products, intense anticipation surrounding specific cards, and widespread fear of not obtaining them have caused individual card values to skyrocket. Meanwhile, unopened items from these sets have been marked up significantly, even reaching prices nearly triple the original cost.
