The Pokémon Company International (TPCi) has announced a ban on the sale of graded slabs and Pokémon Center products at official events. This decision aims to regulate the card market and ensure a fair experience for all participants.
Collectors and players will now need to focus on gameplay and the exchange of ungraded cards in a more controlled environment. This could also influence pull rates and interest in sealed boosters, which remain essential for building competitive decks.
