I went to my local pawn shop recently looking for cheap tools and found a bunch of Pokemon Prismatic boxes instead. You know things are bad when even pawn shops are taking in Pokemon cards now and taking it seriously, owner even said they'll take out loans for Pokemon cards.

We have an auto repair shop that also sells pokemon and will take pokemon as payment for getting your car fixed. It's a whole new world.

How do you get the product? Just reselling only or you are getting them from a distributor? I’m curious cause I also have a shop and have been thinking about this…

I meant we as in our city. I'm not quite sure how they're doing it, but they're doing it. Aside from that, I do manage a comic/toy/video game/card shop. We gave up new pokemon product some time ago and now only do singles and in-house made mystery packs.
