📰 TCG News

Note: Some updates may touch on wider Pokémon news beyond the TCG.

🔵 Japan Bans Carton Listings To Slow TCG Scalpers

From October 13th, Yahoo Auctions and Yahoo Flea Market no longer accept Pokemon cards listed by the carton, empty booster boxes and packs, or large quantities of the same product soon after release. The Pokemon Company set the rules with LINE Yahoo, starting with the 30th Celebration set.

Single cards and other products can still be resold under the usual platform rules. Mercari ran similar temporary limits in September. Nothing equivalent applies outside Japan.

🔵 PSA Cards Stolen From A FedEx Truck In Southern California

A FedEx vehicle carrying PSA orders out of the Southern California grading facility was burglarized. At least 383 cards across multiple submissions are documented as stolen, and seller SKY-B, who posted the PSA notice on October 17th, puts a single 104 card submission at over $100,000.

PSA has deactivated the certificate numbers on the stolen slabs and notified auction houses and selling platforms. It says affected customers will be compensated at fair market value, up to the Maximum Insured Value they selected.
