I Think My Dad Is a Pokémon Scalper

I Think My Dad Is a Pokémon Scalper | The Scalper Was Inside My Own House This Whole Time silent_echoss I have spent all this time complaining about Pokémon scalpers, and I think I just discovered something absolutely devastating. I think my dad might be one of them. The enemy was not at Target. The enemy was not at Walmart. The enemy was not waiting outside Costco at 6 AM. The enemy was apparently inside my own house. I started getting suspicious after seeing just how much Pokémon product this man somehow had. At first, I gave him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he is collecting. Maybe he likes opening packs. Maybe he is secretly building a master set. Maybe my lifelong obsession with Pokémon finally rubbed off on him. Then I started asking questions. “Are you going to open those?” No. Okay. “Are you collecting them?” Not really. Interesting. “So why do you have all of them?” And suddenly the investigation became very serious. Because there is a major difference between somebody owning a lot of Pokémon cards and somebody scalping Pokémon cards. Collectors can buy multiple products. Sealed collectors can have shelves full of unopened ETBs and booster boxes. People buy for their kids, friends, family, or collections. Having a bunch of Pokémon does not automatically make somebody a scalper. The question is what you are doing with it. If you are deliberately buying desirable retail Pokémon products because you plan to immediately resell them to other collectors for significantly more money, now we need to talk. And apparently I need to have that conversation at Thanksgiving. Imagine spending years complaining about scalpers clearing shelves just to discover your own dad might know the Target restock schedule better than you do. That is not a plot twist I was prepared for. I am looking at the Pokémon products. Then looking at him. Then looking back at the Pokémon products. Dad. Where did you get all of this? Why do you know what an ETB is? Why did you just say “market price?” WHY DO YOU KNOW WHAT PRISMATIC EVOLUTIONS IS? Something is not adding up. This man used to call every Pokémon Pikachu. Now suddenly he knows .
