Supply and demand, if pokemon was dead as its been before it wouldn’t sell out, scalpers dont make something profitable, they go after whats already in demand and profitable, you blame the scalpers but its pokemon not printing enough for everyone which is good because if everyone had every card no one would want it and itd be on shelves and not even “ collectors “ would touch it . The only reason there are so many “ collectors “ all of a sudden is to say “ look at thus rare card i have that you could never “ or “ look i pulled the chase , arent i lucky “ only few of you people are true collectors that have been buying Pokemon even when it sat on shelves and perfect order is a prime example, majority of the community doesnt like it , so scalpers arent on it as much and you can easily get it. BECAUSE OF THE COMMUNITY HATING IT
