- echelon 5y agoPokemon cards have been around since the 90's, and rare Pokemon cards have always had appeal and commanded high value. This is less like Beanie Babies and more like the rare Magic the Gathering card economy. (Which is also a thing.) The demographics are different too. Beanie Babies was mostly a suburban mom thing that came and went, whereas Pokemon cards appeal to computer nerds - many of whom have high paying engineer salaries.
