GameStop Ventures into Graded Pokémon Card Market

GameStop announces a new initiative to buy and potentially sell graded Pokémon cards, sparking mixed reactions among collectors.

GameStop plans to start buying graded Pokémon cards at select stores starting next week, focusing on cards graded PSA 8 or higher.
The program will initially roll out in 258 stores, with potential expansion based on performance and market response.
Collectors express concerns over the potential for lowball offers and the impact on the broader trading card market.
The move is part of GameStop's broader strategy to diversify its revenue streams amid declining physical game sales.
Community reactions are mixed, with some seeing the initiative as a convenient new option for trading, while others worry about its execution.
