Punk Allegedly Runs Off with Binder Full of Pokemon Cards, But It’s ‘Game Over’ When Two MMA Coaches Roll Up

It may seem like a kids’ game, but Pokémon cards are big business — big enough that a thief allegedly made off with a binder worth tens of thousands of dollars of them last week.

Unfortunately, the purported robber didn’t get very far before he ran into a group that included two 🥊Mixed martial arts coaches.

According to WTVJ-TV in Miami, the attempted 💰Robbery happened on May 6 at Pro Play Games, located in the southwest part of the city.

“Police say the suspect, identified as 33-year old Jasiel Manfarrol, walked into the store and asked to see a binder filled with Pokémon cards,” WTVJ reported.

“The store’s owner said that once the binder of cards was placed on the counter the suspect grabbed it and left the store.”

Yes, there are enough rare Pikachu and Charizard cards that the binder was worth more than $30,000.

While there were about 3,000 Pokémon cards in there, that still works out to about $10 a card — and it’s easy enough to get away with it.

“Watching him walk away when I told him ‘drop the stuff,’ he like looked back and was laughing,” general manager AnaMilena Machado told the station.
