A Tokyo branch of Bic Camera is shaking things up to fight Pokémon card scalpers. To buy the new Mega Evolution: Ninja Spinner box, customers must ace a 15-question quiz about the Pokémon universe. This move aims to ensure that only true fans can grab the coveted cards.
Buyers also need a Bic Camera rewards card and must let staff unseal the box at checkout. As scalping becomes more common, this strategy helps keep the trading card experience fun and fair for collectors. Do you think quizzes are a good way to handle scalpers?
