The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam was just trying to have a little fun when it put on sale a Pokémon card with ties to the famous Dutch artist. It underestimated the fervor of collectors of the card game, though, and as a result has suspended sales of the promotional card.
The card, featuring Pikachu With Grey Felt Hat, was meant to celebrate the museum’s 50th anniversary and was launched in conjunction with the Pokémon Company. But when the item went on sale, scalpers swarmed the museum, fighting over merchandise, as shown in some online videos.
