>>46189406We already know the Pokemon company is planning on ramping up production to deal with the recent hype.
Sadly, we can't stop rich youtubers from buying all the old base set+ and making videos on it. With more production though, it should deter scalpers. If you were a collector pre-covid you probably already had your collection. And even then, we all know the price of old cards has been consistently rising.
For people like me who collect the cards for card art and because it was a positive moment in my childhood it doesn't really matter to me if people new to the franchise want to drop $30,000+ on a box of old cards because I could never afford it anyways.
