You Might Need A Face Scan To Buy Pokemon Cards Soon, Thanks To Scalpers

Pokemon card scalpers are generally regarded as the worst part of the hobby, and in Japan, The Pokemon Company is taking steps to address the problem. As part of its crackdown to create a safe shopping environment, The Pokemon Company is introducing a facial recognition system for adult shoppers and children of a certain age. According to its website , this will be a mandatory measure for gaining access to a Pokemon Card Store, and customers may only enter a shop once per day. In January, thieves armed with guns and hammers stormed a newly opened Pokemon store and stole over $100,000 worth of collectibles.
