On September 9, thieves broke into a card shop in Osaka, Japan, asking employees which Pokémon cards were valuable. They left with over $70,000 worth.
During the robbery, the thieves tied up employees and covered their mouths with tape. They stole over 100 Pokémon trading cards worth about $10 million yen.
As Pokémon cards have become more popular and valuable, we've seen an increase in large-scale card robberies, including a collector's loss of over $500,000 in 2022.
The incident highlights the growing trend of criminals targeting Pokémon card shops, demonstrating both the rising value of the cards and the ignorance of the thieves.
