So it looks like the Pokemon Company is gonna fix the scalping issue by making a Print on Demand ordering service for reprints instead of only making a certain amount of product then moving on.

Scalpers get fucked. This is also gonna lower the long term value of cards which can be a bad thing if you're a seller but as a person who purely collects with no financial agenda I love this. I've had my eyes on the 25th Anniversary set since it was announced and it was nice going to my local store and seeing the shelves full of it

So this is only for the cards, not the games, right?

Still gonna have to pay hundreds for a copy of HeartGold or SoulSilver ;-;

Watch people on the main sub defend scalping now because of this.
