Costco Pokémon Card Release Sparks Violence and Police Intervention
A recent release of Pokémon cards at a Costco location in Mississauga, Ontario, led to a violent incident requiring police intervention. A crowd of 30-40 people gathered early in the morning for the release of Prismatic Evolutions Pokémon cards. The situation escalated when someone threw coffee on a cart full of boxes, and a car subsequently struck the cart, sending packs flying before driving over them and speeding off. This incident is part of a broader trend of high demand for Pokémon cards, which are often resold at significant profits on platforms like eBay and Facebook Marketplace. The chaotic scene was captured on video and shared on social media, highlighting the tensions surrounding these releases.
