The surge in Pokemon card prices can be chalked up to a few factors. First, the nostalgia factor. Adults reliving their childhoods are willing to pay a premium. Then, there's the scarcity of certain cards, especially rare and first edition ones, which drives up their value. Celebrity influence can't be ignored either; when a public figure shows off their collection, demand skyrockets. Lastly, the pandemic effect: With more people at home, collecting and trading became a popular hobby, further inflating prices.

Short answer? Demand and nostalgia. People want what reminds them of the good ol' days and are willing to pay top dollar for it.

Nah, they're not that expensive if you're not chasing the rare ones. Just pick up newer sets for the fun of playing, not the collecting.
