Pandemic Boom: The Historic Pokemon Card Price

The 2020 COVID-19 pandemic caused a historic, legal boom in pokemon card price. Stimulus checks and lockdown boredom legally drove millions to nostalgia buying, sending the pokemon card price to unprecedented highs. Those who legally bought in early 2020 made fortunes. Illegally, this boom spawned thousands of fake online stores that took people’s money for cards that never arrived, capitalizing on the panic buying. The historic pokemon card price boom was a mix of incredible legal profits and devastating illegal scams.
