Walmart is finally cracking down on the trading card chaos that has plagued stores nationwide, announcing a strict purchase limit on highly sought-after items like Pokémon packs. This is a massive win for actual collectors, honestly, because scalpers have been running wild for far too long. The retail giant appears to have caved to intense customer frustration after a particularly damning viral video exposed just how much “pure greed” was driving the market.
Effective today, you won’t be able to just grab an entire shelf of shiny cardboard anymore. According to an alleged internal memo shared across Reddit and found by Daily Dot, customers may only purchase a maximum of five packs or boxes of Trading Cards per visit. The memo, reportedly sourced from the company’s employee portal, OneWalmart, claims that the point-of-sale and online systems have been updated to automatically enforce this new policy.
