Pokemon TCG Thieves Steal Over $100K in Cards

A trading card shop in Texas was broken into, with four suspects stealing over $100,000 in Pokemon TCG cards and causing $25,000 in damage. Pokemon TCG has become increasingly more popular worldwide over the years, to the point that valuable cards can be sold for thousands of dollars, and new releases are often scalped on launch. This has caused a lot of issues within the community and the hobby, as some fans are priced out of new sets because they are sold for more than double their MSRP on third-party sites, and other sets become so rare that the average player never opens a pack.
