As a pop cultural phenomenon, Pokémon is in a league of its own. Just a few years ago, Pokémon Go took the world by storm, pioneering a unique Augmented Reality experience.

The influence of this fandom goes beyond TV screens and gaming devices, though.

Pokémon merch — especially the cards — are among the most sought-after alternative collectibles. Collectors spend hundreds and thousands of dollars just to get their hands on new collector’s editions, box sets, and the rarest Pokémon cards.
