McDonalds is giving out Pokemon cards in Happy Meals for a limited time. LumberJackFrost February 9, this is not cool, your employees scalping these while my kids can't get them with a paid meal pic.twitter. Collectors and resellers are swarming McDonalds for the new Pokemon card toys included with Happy Meals. Tonight at 8PM EST we will be opening up some #Pokemon 25th Anniversary packs along side of Rebel Clash packs and the rest of the #MTGKaldheim booster box. We haven’t received a response so far, but others in the community seemed to have received confirmation that we will be receiving them later this year. We’ve reached out to McDonalds Australia to confirm whether they’re coming to Australia or not. It’s understood that these cards won’t be sold outside of this special offer. McDonalds has now made the decision to limit purchases to five per person, which is definitely a lot more reasonable. Right now, there are auctions with boxes of 150 packets for upwards of $1,000 USD which is more than three times their value at McDonalds. McDonalds made the decision to sell these either in a Happy Meal, or you could buy the pack separately for $2 US, but as noted by Polygon this led to people heading to stores and purchasing boxes of these packs before taking them to eBay.

There’s 50 of these cards to collect which are made up of one of each starting Pokemon through the generation and Pikachu (plus a holographic version of each card). In the US, there is a Pokemon Happy Meal which contains one of four Pokemon toys as well as a booster pack with four cards. There are also four “toys” that are included with the promo packs, a cardboard deck box, a set of 25 stickers for each starter, a cardboard and plastic cardholder, or a set of four larger stickers that will feature a random region’s starter trio and Pikachu.McDonalds and Pokemon have once again partnered up to celebrate Pokemon’s 25th anniversary.

None of these listings are using PSA graded examples.

Here is a list of average costs for every Pokémon card featured in this McDonald’s 25th anniversary set, listed by generation and with holo and non-holo pricings form current and historic price database, PriceCharting. The McDonald’s Pokemon cards are new, which means the market price isn’t really set for. It also came with a certificate of authenticity signed by the Chairman of NoA at the time. Some sealed boxes listed for resale can go for between $600 to $1,000, while individual packs are going up to anywhere from $4 to $20. The card is a thick piece of 23 karat gold plated metal in a plastic cover, with a picture on the front and back, and Pokédex data on the back. Because the cards are a limited-edition run tied into the Pokémon franchise’s 25th anniversary, there is an inherent collectibility factor playing into the price of the cards.
