Some of the various museum shop goodies from various sources on X.com. My guess is that keyrings, pens, notebooks etc more traditional gift shop fare will be the museum exclusives (and on their website) and not available on Pokémon Center website.

Holy crap. I’m just seeing this now. Komiya, Komiya, Komiya. Either way, I am grateful for the existence of this.
It existing alone is enough to make me very happy. Best artist ever.
But I will say… don’t make this a blunder pokemon… PLS MAKE THIS A CARD!

Yeah this is a cool promo regardless but why not make the Eevee and Smeargle cards too?

There’s a whole bunch of listings now from different sellers on eBay. Some active auctions, some buy it now. EDIT: I should use the word listings very loosely because none of them actually have the card yet, they just claim to have gotten tickets and assume they’ll get a card before it runs out of supply.
I think the pokemon company knows exactly what they are doing and there will be enough copies of this card for everyone. If not, i guess the Netherlands suddenly became the richest country on earth😅

Alright, we only need to know the date when it’ll be available at pokemoncenter.
Ebay bids over $500 is insane to me…

Sounds like this promo might be heavily printed, 3 months promo at the museum, even with fine print while supplies last.
And sounds like you can get one one from Pokemon Center, though they haven’t said how. Seems very late to have to do entries for Promo Codes, like SDC or the Illustration Contest. Would be cool if they add the promo to your cart with any Van Gogh product on PC.

It is for sure. It is the typical game playing that goes on ebay for any unreleased item as a “preorder”. Those bidders likely trying to lock in the car to speculate on the price in the short term. If price drops (most likely), they just say to cancel the order and never pay. Same story for sellers, if they sell for low price and new price is higher then they just simply say they couldn’t get the card, sale gets cancelled.

I wonder if the museum knew what they were getting into. They’re probably buried in questions from people trying to figure out how they can get 100 copies of these promos as quickly as possible.

Wow that’s great art. Best promos since the stamp cards. Impressed!

I suspect this will be the case on how to get them, they’ve said “with any qualifying purchase of van gogh merch” — "The Pokémon Company International Partners With The Van Gogh Museum For Special ‘Pokémon x Van Gogh’ Art Collaboration" - The Pokémon Company North America Official Press Site.
I also don’t know the validity of this as I’ve not been able to confirm the info, but 1675 lbs is quite a bit if this is purely the promos and not any other merch: https://t.co/9FQ0A07xGh / X (twitter.com)
This card is a beauty. Hopefully the site is well stocked and doesn’t crash.
A patreon/e4 member just sent me this screenshot from the Canadien pokemon center website:

US PC has the the banner too, just without the Coming Soon. Maybe 12:00AM PST 9/28 will be clickable?
