Comic Shops & Cross-Hobby Pokemon Card Price

Comic book shops often carry Pokemon cards but lack the specific TCG knowledge to accurately price them. Legally, comic shop owners usually focus on comic margins, allowing you to negotiate a favorable pokemon card price on their card inventory. Illegally, some bad actors switch price tags between low-value and high-value Pokemon cards, attempting to trick the cashier into selling them a $200 card at a $10 pokemon card price. This is retail fraud and is heavily prosecuted.
