McDonald’s is currently giving packets of Pokémon cards as gifts at their Happy Meals . This promotion has become so popular that there are many adults taking several happy meals in a single purchase.
And it is that these people are reselling the cards online getting juicy earnings.
McDonald’s joins the celebration of 25 anniversary of #Pokemón with a new design for the Happy Meal that also includes collectible cards and stamps. 🤩🤩 Unfortunately they are only available in the US. 🥺

Like all McDonald’s Happy Meal toys, the packages, which include four collectible cards, are temporary, so people are struggling to collect the 50 that make up the series.
The frenzy for these McDonald’s gifts has caused resale prices to hit $ 1, 000 dollars on eBay , and has prompted the Golden Bows company to ask franchisees to put in place restrictions on sales.
“We love to see fans’ passion for our limited-time Happy Meal promotion celebrating the 25 years of Pokémon. With such significant demand for our Pokémon TCG promotional cards, and seeing some fans go out of their way to obtain them, we are working quickly to address the shortage and also encouraging restaurants to set a reasonable limit per customer on the sale of Happy Meals , “McDonald’s said in a statement, according to Thrillist .
McDonald’s has not disclosed if there is a specific number of Happy Meals that must be sold per person, so it follows that each branch will be putting its own restrictions .
