Man steals $ 250 thousand dollars in Pokémon cards | Atomix

cards Pokemon they have become so popular and expensive that some people are willing to commit illegal acts to get one of these packages. This is the case of a thief, who broke into a US store, stealing $250,000 worth of letters.

According to Fox 9, the Punch Out Gaming store in Forest Lake, Minnesota was robbed last week. In the middle of the night, a man walked into this facility taking multiple Pokémon TCG packs. According to a security video, the alarms did not go off because the man in question did not enter through the door or window, but instead opened a hole in the wall. When he was interviewed, this was what the owner of the establishment commented:

“I realized how much money, product and time we invested, and I started to cry. I can’t retrieve this product because our dealers don’t have any. So even with the insurance money, that doesn’t do us any good.”

Nope, this isn’t a scene out of Ocean’s Eleven.

Since then, the official store account has revealed that they currently have a thousand booster boxes and 600 Elite Trainer boxes for the new Brilliant Stars ensemble, Although the loss of $250,000 in product is a shame, it looks like the venue will be able to move on.

On related topics, this is going to be a week full of Pokémon announcements. Similarly, modders are already working to fix Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

Editor’s note:

Although knowing the price of an extremely rare card is something exciting for some, for others it is more interesting to see when this type of business does not go as expected, as in the case of Logan Paul. As long as this business continues to grow, these cases are likely to increase.
