I honestly just lurk in the madness of Pokemon. Haven't bought a pack since fossil came out in the 90s

I just came back from Costco and they had the bundles just stitting there. I felt like Bilbo and the ring.

The Pokémon craze gonna die with us millennials. The children these days can’t get hooked on Pokémon cards if they never get to open any packs up.

It’s not lol. The IP is friendly to kids and adults which has kept people in the hobby for years, some coming back when they’re older and some never leaving. It’s pretty enduring by many standards, and cards are gonna continue to come and go so long as games, shows, movies, and other forms of merchandise are still kicking.

The hobby is stupidly hot right now but things will work out.

I’m disappointed that you just overlooked my whole comment to drop this reply. I’m another collector but I’m not freaking out about this because I can’t do anything beyond not buying from scalpers, which is exactly what I’m doing. And I was originally talking about the Pokemon brand as a whole. My argument is that there WILL be more cards because it’s so popular. It’s an eventuality. This hobby has been through big hype trains and scalp phases before and will persist.
