"Scalpers Are Killing The Hobby For Everyone" - Pokémon TCG's 30th Celebration Isn't Going As Planned

"To say I'm really deflated about this hobby right now is an understatement"

The Pokémon TCG is celebrating 30 years today with a special global drop of new products, but as you can imagine, demand for these items has far outstripped supply.

Some of that will be due to the insane popularity of the game, but scalpers looking to make a quick buck have also played their part.

Here in the UK, thousands of people queued overnight to be in with a chance of securing some of the 30th Celebration packs.

Sadly, some of the items appeared to have been hoovered up by solo buyers, robbing other fans of the chance to obtain them.
