Adult trading card speculators have gone and ruined Pokémon for the kids. Now that the franchise’s long-running card game has been embraced by investment-minded buyers (spurred on in part, we write with regret, by Logan Paul) who needed to find yet another dumb way to try to grow their bank accounts, the cards’ monetary value has spiked dramatically. This has led to situations where customers camp out overnight in long lines outside of retailers, competing with each other over who can buy the most of a product designed to be enjoyed primarily by children who like playing with pictures of cute monsters.
