GameStop's Pokémon Card Payout Raises Eyebrows

GameStop recently made headlines by offering over $30,000 for a rare PSA 10 Holo Gengar card, which is valued at nearly $34,000. This has sparked criticism regarding the fairness of their trade-in program, especially since there's a $1,500 cap on trade-in values. The controversy underscores concerns about transparency in GameStop's Power Packs Buyback Program, where they buy cards at lower rates while reselling them at market price. Are GameStop's trade-in practices fair for collectors? {{embed type="twitter" url="https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1995625203460891061"}}
