Walmart is now limiting how many Pokémon card packs customers can buy in a single transaction. This is because Pokémon has remained incredibly popular for almost 30 years, and that popularity often attracts people who try to buy up all the cards just to resell them at a higher price.
Pokémon has gained a huge following over the years, attracting everyone from dedicated collectors to casual fans. The franchise, which includes trading cards, animated shows, and numerous video games, has become incredibly popular. Recently, the Pokémon Trading Card Game community has been heavily affected by scalpers – people buying large quantities of cards to resell at a higher price. A TikTok video showing a group of scalpers emptying store shelves seems to have been the final trigger for Walmart, who are now implementing purchase limits to combat this practice.
Walmart Will Soon Start Limiting All Trading Card Purchases
- Walmart employees were recently informed of the limits in a company-wide memo.
- The limits will go into effect on November 5, 2025.
- Pokemon TCG fans will be limited to five boxes.
A memo about new purchase limits was posted on the official Walmart Reddit page. These limits apply to all Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) products, including tins and booster packs. Interestingly, the memo suggests these limits aren’t just for Pokémon TCG – all trading cards will be affected. This change comes as a response to the ongoing problem of people buying up large quantities of Pokémon TCG cards to resell them at inflated prices. While it might not eliminate this practice completely, the new limits could help genuine fans have a better chance at buying the cards they want.
The Reddit post received mostly positive reactions, and many believe the recent viral TikTok video is why the product is limited. Fans of the Pokemon TCG are still frustrated by scalpers, who continue to resell cards at extremely inflated prices.
It’s still too early to know if Walmart’s new purchase limits will work well, but they should hopefully offer some relief to Pokémon card fans who have had trouble buying cards in the past. Hopefully, this means fans will no longer be unable to buy cards at their local Walmart due to scalpers.
