Overview
- An internal Nov. 5 memo reported by Dexerto says Walmart’s point-of-sale and online systems will automatically enforce a five-item cap across trading card departments 7 and 82.
- The limit, described as a maximum of five packs and/or boxes per visit, has raised questions about what qualifies as a box and whether repeat trips can bypass the rule.
- Coverage traces the change to an employee announcement on OneWalmart shared publicly, with limited broader confirmation from the company.
- The memo frames the step as ensuring fair access for fans and preserving a safe, positive shopping environment.
- The rollout lands ahead of the Nov. 14 Pokémon TCG Phantasmal Flames release, with collectors welcoming the move while warning that bots or multiple accounts could still exploit online sales.
