GameStop is reportedly engaging in significant markups of Pokémon trading cards, with some items priced over 300 percent higher than their retail value. This practice has drawn criticism from collectors and has been acknowledged by Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa as a contributing factor to the broader issue of scalping in the trading card market. The company is allegedly implementing these markups on highly anticipated releases, such as the 30th Anniversary Celebration set, and in some cases, prices are not clearly listed online or in-store, allowing for rapid price increases.
