There’s been a high demand for trading cards of all varieties including Magic: The Gathering, Pokemon Trading Card Game, Yu-Gi-Oh!, sports cards, and others. Now, Target is limiting the sales of these items.
At a local target store in Durham, North Carolina, I found a message that reads: “Due to high demand and to support all guests, we will be limiting the quantity of sports trading cards (NBA, NFL, and MLB) to 3 per item per guest.” The sign makes it seem like the limit is just for sports trading cards, but we learned that it included Magic and Pokemon as well.
Target now limiting sales of MTG, Pokemon, sports cards, and more.
Various posts on social media also shows people finding only a few Booster Packs of MTG products like the recently-released Time Spiral Remastered. With many local game stores still closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, more people are heading to major retailers to purchase trading cards.
