Van Gogh Museum removes Pikachu promo card to combat Pokémon scalpers—but it’s not gone forever
The collaboration between Pokémon and the Amsterdam Van Gogh Museum has brought together some of the most devoted fans together to enjoy the once in a lifetime event between classical art and modern gaming—and attracted hordes of scalpers taking advantage of the limited edition merchandise.
An update today on the Van Gogh Museum website’s FAQs states that due to safety and security concerns for visitors and staff, the Pikachu with Grey Felt Hat promo card has been removed from the Museum, and will not be coming back for the rest of the series collaboration, which lasts until January 2024.
