I know Pokemon has been extremely popular for years. Even back then, when I was 9, I played Pokemon with my friends (cards and Nintendo). But I wonder where the TCG hype is coming from in 2020/21? How did it come about that practically ALL Pokemon cards currently open? Wasn't that the case in 2018/19?
What hype have not noticed until now.
Yes, many did it in 2018/19. But in 2020 Logan Paul joined us, who somehow paid $ 400,000 for a booster box and thus stimulated the hype again
Through Youtube.
So many people open boosters without even having a clue about Pokemon.
In addition, it is Corona right now and this makes the cards more valuable because the goods can no longer really be delivered.
All in one effects that have favored this hype.
So I don't notice any difference. It was the same in 2018 and 2019.
