GameStop has suffered its ups and downs—though mostly downs—over the last few years, from a stock market boom to jumping in on a crashing NFT wave. Now, the physical retailer is betting big on trading cards, specifically the Pokémon TCG, through the introduction of graded buying and selling options.
In a report from Jon Sahagian at PokéBeach, it has now been confirmed GameStop will launch a new initiative in U.S. locations where customers can sell, and eventually buy, graded cards. There are specific limitations in place that will distance GameStop from online retailers and auctions, though this is an expansion that will feature graded products and singles being added to the store’s shelves over time—with Pokémon leading the way.
