why are people scalping pokemon cards Gotta buy 'em all: card game is under threat from scalpers, fans say Pokemon TCG scalpers are happily

Ishihara GX Promo Card (Autographed) Approximate worth: $247,230 These cards bear the likeness of The Pokmon Company president and visionary Tsunekazu Ishihara
