Hmm, I had no idea (until recently) how popular Pokemon cards are for crime...

NHK:Tokyo police arrest 2 Vietnamese for suspected illegal purchase of Pokemon cards

"...They say the two men accessed the official sales website for Pokemon goods from June to September 2025 and created 30 fictitious accounts using fraudulently obtained SIM cards....Police searched related facilities and seized more than 15,000 Pokemon cards...."

@ai6yr

Just like baseball cards. Or anything else that is portable and easily convertible to cash.
