A subject stole rare cards from Pokemon straight from the printer
A report of Polygon shared details about an apparent theft of a significant amount of credit cards Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield—Fusion Strike. It all started with a post on reddit where the loot is shown on a table, it is about lots of rare cards from the Fusion Strike series loose, not in packs, that were about to be sold to the highest bidder but that only remained intentional because the Negotiations gave rise to the pertinent investigations and arrests.
The Pokémon Company didn’t know the fate of the cards until the thief tried to sell them.
According to the information, a subject contacted the Trading Card World store in Texas, United States, claiming to have many rare Fusion Strike cards waiting to be traded. The first warning sign was that they were loose pieces, which led the business managers to think that it was impossible for someone to have invested a lot of money to buy packages, open them and collect the rare cards, so in reality it must have been a robbery. .
Those responsible for the store contacted The Pokémon Company and the company asked them to play along with the seller and make an appointment with him to buy the cards. The company sent a private investigator and with the evidence collected they confirmed that they were thousands of letters of Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield—Fusion Strike that they were stolen directly from the printing house where they were made, hence they were pieces that never made it to a package.
According to Trading Card World co-founder Scott Emer, he was asked by The Pokémon Company to keep the matter under wraps while the investigation was underway. Then they confirmed that they were aware that the cards were stolen from the printer but did not know their destination until the thief showed up trying to sell them. Immediately afterwards, the company confirmed to Emer that this person was already detained by the police and now he will have to face the law and everything that The Pokémon Company puts against him, so he will probably spend a good time behind bars.
