The special Pokémon card, which was issued on the occasion of the museum’s fiftieth anniversary, was highly coveted. Visitors to the Pokémon exhibition at the museum received the card for free, but because few cards were available, there was a run on the cards and other merchandise.
This led to unsafe situations, where visitors and employees were attacked by fans hunting for the exclusive card.
Things got intense:
To ensure safety, the museum decided to stop issuing the cards, which fetched hundreds of euros on sales sites.
Worth less
However, the value of the card will drop quickly after today. Anyone who buys €29.99 worth of Pokémon cards in participating stores will receive them as a gift.
Initially, only 75,000 copies of the card were printed. It is now expected that a multiple of that number will come into circulation, which will significantly reduce the exclusivity of the card, and therefore its value.
