Hi everyone. A few days ago, a Pokémon card trading store in Tokyo was robbed, which attracted widespread attention from netizens. The man quickly took the cards of the three display cases with lightning speed.
Wow, that's weird, are these cards worth a lot?Xiong checked the tweets posted by the store two days before the crime, and a pack of SR-level cards costs 20,000 yen (about 998 yuan), each pack of ten cards, and one is nearly 100 yuan (Xiong, who has a monthly salary of 3,000, cried and fainted in the toilet).
Because slightly more precious cards are especially valuable, it is not uncommon to see Pokémon card shops looted. In September this year, a zero-yuan buyer in Pennsylvania, USA, patronized a toy store just to steal Pokémon cards worth $600 (about 4,820 yuan).
In Tokyo, the theft of Pokémon cards is even more frequent, too, the value of Pokémon cards is high, and the store defense system is weak, so it should be a soft persimmon in the eyes of thieves
So, why do those thieves love Pokémon cards?Is it true love?
If you want to talk about true love, it is also the "wronged head" who is willing to pay a huge amount to shoot the Pokémon card.
Note that this beautiful American Internet celebrity anchor Logan Paul is carrying the most expensive Pokémon card in the world, worth as much as 52750,000 US dollars (equivalent to about 33.5 million yuan), which Paul regarded as a talisman.
In fact, as of March 2020, more than 30.4 billion Pokémon cards have been sold worldwide. There is no shortage of Pokémon cards in this world, but scarcity is expensive, and the first version of the card "Gosanjia" is highly sought after due to its scarcity of numbers.
However, even if the "evil" merchants can afford to print a few more genuine cards, they will deliberately rarity them in order to create hunger marketing. Among them, the rarest is the "Pokémon Illustration" series that Paul started.
There are a total of 39 photos, and only 11 are currently in circulation. If you are interested in visiting the second-hand market, you will see Pokémon cards printed on them"illustaator"It's a Pokémon illustration series, and you might be able to pick it up.
