It's been a thing since the mid-2000s when young adult late Gen Xers started realizing that their Charizards might be worth something, only amplified when turds like Logan Paul brought along investards that crashed the entire hobby.
Pokemon Company doesn't care, if it sells why bother.
I'll never understand why people get mad about scalpers and not the company making the product.
Nintendo pulls this shit ALL THE TIME with their products, on purpose. They could easily stop scalpers by making enough product to fit demand, but they intentionally don't to drum up FOMO.
i think they put enough product. you can still find those "limited" mario game&watch things from 3 years ago new at stores. same with that limited producation mario 3d all stars game
He was a weeb, no really, he was. His artwork was inspired by Japanese art, look it up. He would be happy I think. Imagine you die peniless and then a massive media franchise does a "collab" 200 years from now with the art you left behind in your deviantart page or whatever the frick.
This has more class somehow and is actually amusing, just making it like a Looney tunes character or Popeye or some shit gives it a sort of charm that Pikachu can't capture
Donald Duck at least has some specific cultural relevancy in the Netherlands (and most of western europe). This painting was taken from the cover of our weekly duck magazine
When did scalping become an issue in Pokémon?
>fighting over cheap art prints
Why? Who gives a shit about that.
Pokemon fans. They'll also pay good money for it.
because they can resell it on ebay for big money. What you're seeing is human nature thirsting for the all mighty dollar.
I think you can order that same artwork online though, straight from the online giftshop. Then you just have to redeem it at a UK, US or CA location

Beanie babies in the 90s and their consequences have been disastrous for mankind.
People didn't act like animals for beanie babies, though.
Yes they did.
industrialization was a mistake
Imagine if every scalper in the world was lined up against a wall and shot.
Actual fricking rats. What the frick?
Amsterdam, that's how and why.

During Covid when Youtubers made videos about pulling thousand dollar cards. It started there but never stopped.
1998, any other answer is too young to remember.
I think he would call you a homosexual for bringing it up.
van gogh was transsexual
>self mutilated his ear
makes sense
Nobody on Ganker speaks Dutch
Van Gough would be on enough drugs to not speak Dutch either
Niet waar, neger.
>It's a japanese cartoon character called "pikachu" that is an electric mouse.

>Pikachu isn't missing an ear
They had one job.
i like this one better

>no ears

all of this moch van gogh art sucks, even AI could do a better job
I'd think he would take off his other ear in regret for having heard this
I love all the ass blasted poorgays over scapling.
Keep being poor and not taking advantage of markets.
I think if you told Van Gogh that he was remembered over a century after his death in any fashion he would be pleased.
Scalpers are based and people who participate in collectible hobbies were supply is arbitrarily limited deserve everything they get
