A Pokémon card shop in Saitama, Hareruya 2, is combating scalpers by cutting the corners off Pokémon card packs sold to customers. This strategy aims to make the packs less appealing to resellers, who seek pristine packaging for resale at inflated prices.
For travelers and Pokémon enthusiasts visiting Japan, this means a better chance to purchase cards at fair prices. The shop also has measures like kids-only sales and registration via their Line app to prevent bulk buying.
If you're in Saitama, consider visiting Hareruya 2 in Omiya to support their anti-scalping efforts and snag some Pokémon cards for yourself. The shop is located at 2-23 Miyacho, Omiya-ku, Saitama-shi.
