Yeah honestly fuck those shitbags I hope they lose their shirt for trying to scalp a childrens card game. 

Let the kids have fun with it, what the pokémon company is doing is wise because they want long term sustainable growth to the brand. If kids can't get the cards then when they get older they're gonna have no interest in the product and it dies off. 

The market is a giant speculative bubble anyways and a lot of money laundering is involved. Also PSA does a lot of shady shit with grading cards and a racket unto it'self.  There's gonna be a lot of people holding someone's bag once this is all said and done. I say this as someone who was fond of the original sets as a kid but it's beyond ridiculous at this point.
