Nintendo and The Pokémon Company take on scalping: what does this mean for collectors?

• De groeiende populariteit van de Pokémon Trading Card Game heeft geleid tot een tekort aan kaarten.
• Nieuwe uitbreidingen zijn vaak binnen enkele minuten uitverkocht, wat frustratie bij verzamelaars veroorzaakt.

Nintendo has recently voiced its concern over the scalping of Pokémon cards, a problem that is becoming increasingly severe due to the massive demand for the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG). President Shuntaro Furukawa has confirmed that Nintendo is working with The Pokémon Company to make sure real fans can get the cards they want. This is a crucial step, especially given the frustration of collectors who are often faced with empty shelves and unrealistically high prices on the secondary market.
