A financial expert believes Pokemon cards would be the perfect “global currency” during an apocalypse, so you might want to consider stocking up.
When the end of days is written about in books, TV shows, and video games, there are plenty of different ways that people envision where things will go when it comes to currency. Some use water as the go-to, Fallout has bottle caps as its iconic currency, while The Last of Us uses meal coupons and actual food in trades.
While the majority of people aren’t thinking about what they’ll need to do to survive in a post-apocalyptic world, plenty of others are, prepping with food stocks and other necessities too.
Well, according to financial expert Peter Levin, Pokemon cards might also be something worth stocking up on, as he sees the value in them as a “global currency” in the end times.
That’s right, the founder of Griffin Gaming Partners, told The Hollywood Reporter that he owns over 500,000 trading cards across different scenes, but Pokemon is the one that would thrive.
“Pokemon is a global phenomenon. I’m absolutely convinced that if the world suffered an apocalypse tomorrow, the following day the global currency would be Pokémon cards,” he said.
“Pokemon cards are beating the S&P 500 by 3,000 percent. Emanating from Japan, it really took hold around the world in the late ’90s and early 2000s. It then had a zenith moment and then a nadir moment, and ever since then, it’s been on a parabolic growth curve. And that really has driven the international market expansion for trading cards.”
10 billion Pokemon cards were printed in the last year
