Why are Pokemon Cards so Expensive?
Pokemon cards hit your wallet hard for a few reasons. First up, nostalgia plays a big part – loads of adults wanna grab a piece of their childhood. Then, there's rarity. Some of those shiny cards are as hard to find as a shiny Pokemon in the games, making them super valuable to collectors. And don't forget, the Pokemon TCG community is massive and super passionate, driving up demand and prices for the rarest cards. It's all about supply and demand, baby!

Honestly, it's all about the hype. Sure, rare cards are rare, but a lot of the cost comes from people hyping up the value. Once someone drops a boatload of cash on a card, everyone else thinks it's worth that much too.
As someone who’s spent more than I’d like to admit on Pokemon cards, it definitely boils down to rarity and demand. I once snagged a holographic Charizard that cost me an arm and a leg, but man, was it worth it. There’s a thrill in collecting that drives prices up; collectors are willing to pay top dollar for that one card to complete their collection.
