I can CONFIRM, gamestop employees are generally overworked and having cards out puts an extra hour of the day to time they wont have. I remember for the first 2 years of ps5 being out, they would get 10-20 calls about if the ps5 was in stock the first couple hours they are open. I didnt work there but people would ask about preorders nonstop for figures, cards and games, and parents would ask about games/systems which they have very little knowledge about. Delivery for stock would come early afternoon so even if the store is empty they are still fielding calls and putting things on shelves/labeling/working on tradeins.

What I find curious is why go this 2nd-hand market route? Gamestop is probably already getting distribution-level prices for Pokemon products. The better move would be for them to start opening the product themselves and create a deal with PSA to get the cards graded themselves. Surely, that introduces way less risk than going the route of buying slabbed cards on the secondary market. Either way, this move could have a lot of implications on prices and buyouts given the large buying power that Gamestop has. It'll be interesting where things head from here.
