🔵 Target Employees Filmed Cutting Pokemon Box Seals to Deter Scalpers

A viral video shows a Target manager cutting the seals on Pokemon TCG boxes before shelving them, telling customers the move is meant to mitigate the store’s scalping problem and claiming the directive came from Target corporate, enforced store-by-store. Target did not immediately respond to a media request for comment.

Cutting the seal makes products visibly less appealing on the secondary market. Reactions have been mixed, with many collectors welcoming the move while others note scalpers can still resell individual packs and that fewer sealed products in circulation could raise prices for any remaining pristine boxes.
