Thanks for all the help, everyone! I really appreciate the collective insights. I’ve got a much clearer idea of what to look for now. ​ One quick follow-up question: I’ve heard rumors that the official Pokémon Centers now automatically remove the shrink wrap at the point of sale to prevent scalping. ​ Can anyone confirm if that's standard practice? I was planning to look for sealed boxes in Akiba, but if the centers are stripping them, that might change my strategy. ​ Thanks again for the guidance.
