"The video by TikTok user mromano2003 has accumulated over 12 million views on the original post alone, not counting all the times it's been reposted elsewhere by other accounts on different platforms. It shows a scalper buying an entire display of cards at one of Walmart's Las Vegas stores. About a week later, Walmart stores are receiving word from corporate to enforce a five-package limit on purchases per visit."
"Walmart's internal announcement doesn't cite the video itself as the determining factor, but when something like that blows up on this scale, it's hard not to suspect it might be related. Mromano2003 speculates in the video that the store's management was in on a reselling scam, but that's just conjecture at this point. The internal announcement says that this is an effort to stop reselling efforts and accommodate unprecedented demand."
A viral TikTok captured a scalper buying thousands of trading card packs at a Las Vegas Walmart, drawing over 12 million views. Corporate has instructed stores to enforce a five-package-per-visit limit on booster packs, tins, and other card packages effective November 5. The internal memo frames the limit as a response to unprecedented demand and an effort to deter reselling. The viral clip prompted speculation that store management may have been involved in reselling, though that claim remains conjecture. Walmart has been contacted for comment and further updates are possible.
