GameStop, the used video game retailer, will begin buying and selling rare Pokémon cards, and possibly other cards, as soon as next week.

GameStop, the used video game retailer that’s become increasingly associated with other kinds of speculative investments, wants to cash in on the resurgent card collecting craze — staffers have told Pokébeach, Polygon, and The Verge that stores will begin buying and selling rare Pokémon cards, and possibly other cards, as soon as next week.

You’ll have to find somewhere else to sell your PSA 10 shadowless first-edition Charizard. One employee tells The Verge that this is an explicit collaboration between GameStop and PSA — but that GameStop won’t offer grading services in-store or help you mail your cards in for grading. GameStop will take other kinds of PSA-graded cards beyond Pokémon, too, though, that employee says.
