A massive haul of counterfeit Pokemon cards were seized by Chinese officials earlier this week. Chinese news service Ticai Global reports that twenty boxes of counterfeit Pokemon trading cards were seized at Shanghai’s Pudong Airport earlier this week, marking one of the biggest seizures of counterfeit goods by Chinese officials in years. The fake cards weighed over 7.6 tons and were bound for the Netherlands, where they would presumably be distributed around Europe. While no other details were provided by the seizure, the video below shows that at least some of the cards were reproductions of the Spanish language “Vivid Voltage” set, an earlier set from the current “Sword and Shield” era of the Pokemon Trading Card Game.
