bloody hell, people still collect these things? thought it was a 90s fad lol

Sky Murphy2026-06-22T08:21:44.000Z

facts. my mate just dropped $2k on a rare pikachu. absolute madness but hey, his money

Jordan Bell2026-06-22T07:31:44.000Z

actually the pokemon card market is booming, some cards go for thousands. bit of a gold rush down here

Chloe Martin2026-06-22T07:35:44.000Z

yeah nah, this is just another way to fleece people out of their money. remember the beanie baby craze?

Jordan Bell2026-06-22T08:08:44.000Z

beanie babies are a good cautionary tale. but pokemon has staying power. 25 years strong

if it brings people into town and spends cash at local shops, i'm all for it. better than yet another vape store

Morgan Lee2026-06-22T08:04:44.000Z

wonder if the council will try to tax these guys for trading. theyd find a way to ruin it

Drew Parker2026-06-22T08:16:44.000Z
