Walmart and Target are suspending the sales of Pokemon and sports cards due to safety concerns for their staff. The re-sale value of the cards have skyrocketed during the recent pandemic and have resulted in chaos and threats to staff. The decision comes after a recent news story in which a man pulled a gun on four people who tried to steal his trading cards outside the store.
