Customers rushed a Walmart store's shelves on Friday after Pokémon cards were restocked.
Earlier in the month, Target stopped selling them after a man pulled a gun in the parking lot.
The value of Pokémon cards has skyrocketed since the pandemic started. One rare card sold for $360,000.
Customers rushed into a Walmart store on Friday morning, clearing out shelves full of Pokémon cards.
The customers gathered outside a Walmart store in Erie, Pennsylvania. When it opened they raced down the aisles after the Pokémon cards had just been restocked by employees, the Instagram user who took the video @tgc_grassi told Insider.
