ThePokemon TCGreleases new setsseveral times a year, all of which include some extremely hard-to-find cards.
PSA, or the Professional Sports Authenticator, is arguably the most popular trading card authenticator.
It is well known for grading the quality of cards on its 10-point scale.
Of course, this development marks a step forward in the gaming store chains already strong ties to thePokemonfranchise.
GameStop has been a popular partner for various promotional events for years, including many promo card distributions.
For example, it was one of the few retailers that stocked theCeruledge promo card for Pokemon Day 2024.
This has established the chain as a crucial part of completing the Pokedex in recent Generations of the franchise.
Although only available at select locations at first, the program will later be available in all stores.
Additionally, only cards graded via PSA will be accepted, at least for the time being.
Moreover, GameStops standardized prices may also prove to be less than appealing at times.
Heres how they compare.
There are already well-established online marketplaces for trading cards such asTCGplayer, which list cards at individual prices.

Its Reverse Holo version, meanwhile, is valued at $0.11.
This would undoubtedly prove to be a great boon for those who are able to visit the U.S. stores.
Nevertheless, an additional source of readily accessible cards can only be a positive on the whole.
