Pokémon cards are selling so well that the Pokémon company is rushing to print more

Demand for Pokémon cards has been high in recent weeks as the series celebrates its 25th anniversary. To meet the high demand, The Pokémon Company announced today that it will reprint the collectible cards.

The Pokémon Company posted a statement on its support page that it is “aware that some fans are having difficulty purchasing certain Pokémon Trading Card products due to very high demand and global shipping constraints having an impact on the availability of g ”, while confirming that the reprint is impacted products at“ maximum capacity ”.

There is no specific time frame on which retailers should receive new shipments, but the company is committed to “replenishing inventory at retailers as soon as possible.”

In recent months, Pokémon Trading Cards have been in high demand, with products selling quickly at retailers and older cards selling for up to $ 375,000 through third-party sellers. Meanwhile, card opening videos have exploded on YouTube over the past year, in some cases gaining millions of views.

As the franchise celebrates a milestone this year, Nintendo has found various ways to commemorate the occasion. This includes partnering with McDonald’s to hand out collectible cards when you purchase a Happy Meal from the fast food chain, but as a partner site. Polygon points out that the demand for these items is high and that some people are taking advantage of the situation.
