“We dealt mainly with cards with great rarity, but there was a wide range of cards, from old Pokémon cards from 20 years ago to new cards, but they were all taken”
said a spokesman for the affected store, Yuma Hashida. He emphasizes one of the reasons why the cards would be so attractive.
“The normal retail price of Pokémon cards is several hundred yen for a pack of 5 to 6 cards. Even a set of about 60 sheets costs around 1,000 yen. However, due to their popularity around the world, there are cases where they are traded at a price over 1 million yen a piece”
Hashida added, insisting on the costliness of the stolen merchandise.
