Why is there a Pokemon card shortage?
Oh, the great Pokemon card shortage saga! It's a mix of high demand meets scalpers meets global pandemic. Basically, everyone and their grandma wanted to get their hands on Pokemon cards during the pandemic, either to relive nostalgia or to make a quick buck by reselling. Scalpers used bots to snatch up all the stock faster than Pikachu saying 'Pika Pika!' Then, add in production issues thanks to the global situation, and bam, you've got a recipe for a shortage.

Short answer? Too many buyers, not enough cards. It's just supply and demand doing its thing.
I managed to snag some rare cards right before the shortage hit its peak. From what I saw, the hype was unreal. Social media was buzzing with Pokemon TCG, and everyone wanted in. Stores couldn't keep up with the demand, online was a bot fest, and here we are. Being a part of the rush was wild, though!
