Kotaku • • technology
Key Points:
- The 30th anniversary Pokémon Trading Card Game set has just been released, sparking a rush among fans and scalpers to obtain rare cards, particularly a trio of "RGB" Mew cards with unique photo negative-style art.
- These "RGB" Mew cards, once thought to be a hoax, have proven to be some of the rarest in the game, with early eBay listings starting in the four-figure range and some sales exceeding $20,000 for a single blue variant.
- Some sellers are asking for prices as high as $150,000 for these cards, though such extreme prices are likely inflated by initial hype and may not reflect long-term market values.
- Market experts advise potential buyers to be cautious and consider waiting before making high-value purchases, as prices could drop significantly in the weeks and months following the launch.
