A heated brawl broke out in a Canadian Costco parking lot, with multiple individuals involved in a dispute over rare Pokémon cards. The incident reportedly occurred as resellers hunted for Pokémon 151 tins, which are selling for $80-$150 per package on eBay.
Social media platforms across Canada are abuzz with the footage, with many believing it to be resellers seeking to capitalize on the high demand for the cards. Similar incidents have been reported in the US, including a recent clash at a Memphis Walmart.
The dispute has sparked debate about the impact of tariffs on the Pokémon card industry. Some believe that Canadian tariffs may lead to increased prices for American buyers, while others think it could also affect resellers in Canada.
The Pokémon community is weighing in on Reddit, with some commentators expressing concern over the potential cost increases and their impact on the hobby. The incident has left many wondering why Canadians are fighting over rare cards when they’re expected to be more civil.
The fight in the parking lot serves as a reminder that even the most unlikely disputes can boil down to economics and demand.
