Pokémon Offers Second Chance for Van Gogh Pikachu Card
The Pokémon Company is re-offering the Van Gogh Pikachu card, following the disastrous launch of their collaboration with the Van Gogh Museum. Scalpers caused chaos during the initial release, leading to mass crowd surges and online sellouts. The company has now announced that customers spending $30 on Pokémon trading cards at the U.S. Pokémon Center website (or £30 at the UK store) will receive one of the promo cards. This move aims to decrease the card's aftermarket prices and make it more accessible to fans. However, it does not address the underlying issues of limited access and reseller dominance, raising questions about the impact of these collaborations on the Pokémon community.
