Over the past year the company has printed around 9 billion Pokemon cards and 3.7 billion cards the year before. This accounts for 30 percent of the total Pokemon cards in circulation.
But why would they do this?
Their goal is to make the game more accessible for everyone and they believe that speculating on expensive Pokemon cards takes the fun out of it and their efforts seem to be working. In April 2021 you could sell a shiny charizard Vmax card for fourteen hundred dollars which is a great return for a pack that costs four dollars but now you'll only get about three hundred dollars for one
Unlike the FED though the Pokemon company likes to valuing their currency so I wouldn't hope for a lucky windfall with them anytime soon.

This was caused by scalpers who would buy all the stock they could find and then sell it to a parent whose child actually uses and loves the cards. 100% boss move. I support

second hand market doesn't contribute any money to the producer

Why did not he take 10 minutes to say this?

It's awfully convenient that "making the game more accessible" translates to "selling more booster packs"

As someone who plays the tcg game with my kids I was upset over the craze. We couldn’t buy the new sets. Luckily for us pokemon closed the tournaments for two years. Last week they just started back up in my area. With more cards in circulation I am able to buy the cards online for family to play. More cards means cheaper deck building.

They can't get any money from after market sales, that's why.

Literally just print more rare cards and sell it as is

That's nice since Pokemon TCG or any TCG isn't meant to be an investment hub anyway. The hobby was ruined after grifters like the Paul brothers and popular Twitch streamers inflated the value of the cards to make it seem like it's worth more than it actually is.

this is just wrong info maybe they're printing more of the new cards but they're not reprinting old cards thus the value still remains for the old cards

Lol I remember a friend who told me that I should invest in pokemon cards and I tried to explain to him that it was a bubble

Pokemon printer go brrr

They also benefit when devaluing old cards since now they can print new cards that have relatively much higher value.

Good stuff. Keep it up, Pokemon Company. Wizards of the Coast could learn a thing or 4 from these people.
|
Now if only magic the gathering would do this common wizards I don't want to pay 500 for my dream commander deck

I feel them. Speculators are not fans of the card game. Just like retro game collectors. They don't play games, they just want the line to go up.
|
They're not "devaluing their currency". TPCi doesn't make money from aftermarket sales. They're printing more to sell more since there wasn't enough to go around once demand spiked.
|
Already been through that with early 90s baseball cards. They were over-printed and worthless. Still worthless today.
|
Ultimately, this is a good thing for the longevity of Pokémon as a game. It’s my understanding that there’s no game associated with most sports cards, so they’re just collectibles. With Pokémon, while they are collectibles, ultimately it needs to be accessible enough for people to engage with the game and have fun.

Most of those 9 billion cards are commons, so the bulk price will tank while prices for the rare cards won't change much.

F in the chat for people who thought pokemon cards was a great investment, same thing happened to sports cards in the 1990's
