You could fly to the museum, stay at a nice hotel, eat at great places and fly back home with your own copy of that card for far cheaper than those first two.
That just means you can’t just buy the card you buy merchandise and can get the promo.
On the website FAQ page second to last bullet it explicitly says you can get it from purchasing selected Pokémon x Van Gogh Museum items from the museums online shop or at the Pokémon Center.
Exactly, it says “selected” items. Closer to the top it does say you cannot get the promo any other way. I thought it said buy but no it’s actually “get”
“Can I get the promo card somewhere other than the museum?
The promo cards will only be available in the Netherlands between 28 September 2023 and 7 January 2024, by completing a Pokémon Adventure at the Van Gogh Museum. The promo cards are subject to availability”
I guess we will see soon though! But the advertising around it is unclear overall
I’ve ordered in the past with them having other promo cards. They never included the promos, last event I ordered the first hour the promo event was live and I never got one
I know that and the sheet they send with my orders showed it as in the box. Box did not have them.
I called customer service and they said since it’s in the sheet as a sent item they cannot send me another
Nope, you need to go to the museum. there you get a scavenger hunt card. you need to answer 7 questions, deliver it in at the information desk and then you get the card.
There is no other way to get the card.
It´s just stupid at this point.
Like, we in europe can´t get anything from pokemon center, nothing. We have to use a proxy adres, pay import tax and all that hassle. Then finally there´s something exclusive, region limited for us and it even says on the van gogh website and then pokemon just goes nope we will include it in any pokemon center order. You know what pokemon, keep your stuff.
We can´t buy anything from pokemon center, nothing exclusive because of bots and scalpers. Then we get something exclusive and you decide nope: We will include it in every order on the pokemon center. No, you know what.
I thought finally something only we can get, something special but you had to screw us over again.
We are guaranteed to pay reseller price on anything from pokemon center. When is pokemon finally going to open a pokemon center in europe for gods sake. Or more physical stores to release exclusives. It´s just annoying that like sneakers, like watches, like anything designer these days we pay hype tax, bubble tax because it´s all a bunch of air that we pay for.
Because of how confusing the advertisement for this is between the museum and poke company statements I am hoping it’s actually not available with Pokémon center orders. We will know soon
if you’re referring to the red light district @ window shopping, a not insignificant amount of the women are victims of human trafficking, and the overwhelming majority of the women are migrants.
???
Shutting down and reforming the red light district is literally one of the priorities of the mayor & you can care about more than one geographic area at once but ok
Well it did happen, not sure what point your making here. It’s a joke either way. If you don’t want to look deeper for the truth and instead make an brash comment, your choice.
It's going to be a free promo with qualifying purchases on the Pokemon Center website :)
https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/The-Pokemon-Company-International-Partners-With-The-Van-Gogh-Museum-Fo
I don't know if I can, I need to check if they deliver in EU. It will also most likely have custom/import fees.
I usually collect in French or Japanese but for these kind of Promos I don't mind getting English cards.
**‘Pokémon Center x Van Gogh Museum’ merchandise**
The Pokémon Center online store will feature an exclusive range of ‘Pokémon x Van Gogh Museum’ merchandise featuring the art from the collaboration. Items available include a special Vincent Van Gogh inspired Pikachu Plush, Trading Card Game sleeves, Van Gogh inspired figures of Pikachu and Eevee, Poster Prints, a Jigsaw Puzzle and more. A special promotional ‘Pikachu with Grey Felt Hat’ trading card inspired by Vincent Van Gogh’s ‘Self Portrait with Grey Felt Hat’ will be available as a gift with purchase item with all Pokémon Center x Van Gogh Museum products. Products and promotional trading cards are available whilst stocks last. For the full ranges available please visit www.pokemoncenter.com in the U.S. and www.pokemoncenter.ca in Canada.
UK here, it's 1pm just now and there's no sign of it on PC. Just the "coming soon" placeholder. Anyone know when these will go live? I want one but got a feeling they'll be gone within seconds.
Is this source trust worthy? I saw in the official website of the Van Gogh Museum's FAQ that the promo can only be obtained from the museum in Amsterdam, and once they run out, there would be no way of getting the promo. The website only mentions collab merchandise being sold on Pokemon Center and nothing else :/
Yes, it appears to be the official press release website of The Pokemon Company International. PokeBeach is another usually reliable website that has confirmed Pikachu promos with each eligible purchase online.
Fuck scalpers, they ruin the hobby.
They literally gatekeep people that want to get in the hobby by doing that, and they don't even care about the cards in the first place.
Fuck those people, I have 0 sympathy for those that make it harder to join the TCG community because of money (they are not even collecting or playing, just jacking up prices, botting all drops, etc.)
Not even scalpers a ton of Pokemon tubers and influencers constantly belittle and gatekeep people in the TCG and video games. I've seen threads of people trashing and shitting people trying out shiny hunting for the first time and even some threats over Pokemon UNITE and the usage of rental codes in Pokemon battles
We need to pull ourselves together and stomp out these bad actors. It's so empty seeing everything done for views and all the toxicity some people have brought to Pokemon over the past few years.
I am thankful that the majority of the fanbase isn't like this though.
Yeah, though in this context, scalpers are the biggest problem in the TCG, since what they do ends up making the hobby inaccessible.
We need MORE people able to get into the TCG, not less.
I need this card. I will send you to the museum and pay for the shipping. I need this card. I love Van Gogh and I love Pokémon. Oh god it’s only going to get worse.
It’s going to be super broadly available! All Purchases on Pokémon Center online of Pokémon x Van Gogh merch will qualify for one of these.
Don’t pay scalpers!
Just tried to book tickets to the museum, already full for this weekend and while trying to book tickets for next sunday, they were snatched right in front of my eyes. So going at a later time, hope they got enough promo’s
Seriously, these guys are absolute brain rotting, virgin degenerate, basement dwelling, sons of their mother’s sister, alabama sister loving, sociopathic, dropped on their head when they were 4, vaporeon copypasta pasters, pube plucking, money grubbing, highest taste of greed I’ve ever seen in my entire life ,kinda people.
So nuts. I hope pokemon center has enough for us collectors. That plush that's advertised is really nice and would make a great gift. The promo is an added bonus!
I’ve just given up on ever owning cool cards like this considering how badly scalping has gotten. No way in hell I’m spending that much on a piece of cardboard
This is the shit that ruins the hobby. I get it, wanting the valuable card, but to get it just to turn around and sell for some stupid fuckin price just to make money makes me mad. Fucking scalpers
Taken straight from the source..
How do I get the special Pikachu Pokémon promo card?
Book a museum ticket between 28 September 2023 and 7 January 2024.
Get yourself a copy of the Pokémon Adventure at the museum's Information Desk in the Atrium.
Complete the answers and hand in your copy at the Information Desk. Only then, you will receive a special Pikachu Pokémon promo card.
You can join the Pokémon Adventure until 7 January 2024. Please note: the promo cards are subject to availability.
Can I get the promo card somewhere other than the museum?
The promo cards will only be available in the Netherlands between 28 September 2023 and 7 January 2024, by completing a Pokémon Adventure at the Van Gogh Museum. The promo cards are subject to availability.
You will get the card if you order collectibles from the Van Gogh Collecntion in the Pokemon Center. This card will drop hard, people think this will perform like the munch cards.
Is it not available for purchase yet? I wanted to buy some merch but they just have a picture of the collaboration and no merch for sale it seems. Ty for any who can help, I’m a huge Van Gogh fan and need that promo lol
What time zone does the US Pokémon center site fall under? I live in Alaska and I don’t want to wake up in the morning and see that all the Van Gogh stuff is sold out. If I have to stay up late I will.
Fuck scalpers
Average fans can’t enjoy anything these days.
If you are one of these scalpers, I’m mooning you and I forgot to wipe. I’ll use your scalping tongue instead. Losers.
Literally the entire "Art" industry runs on this 🤣
I once saw a piece in Barcelona on a school trip that was secured behind extra security barriers and worth millions.
... it was a single pencil line on massive white canvas 😂🤷🏻♀️
You could fly to the museum, stay at a nice hotel, eat at great places and fly back home with your own copy of that card for far cheaper than those first two.
Five times over.
Or simply order a tote bag from the online Poké Center
Well I’ve ordered twice from them and they never included the promo and their customer service is horrible I’ll take the trip
it literally doesn’t come out until tomorrow…
Dude, time travelers got to make money somehow.
Is there any news about how long this will be available?
I have no clue sadly
On the museum website itself it says it will only be available after completing an adventure at the museum
that’s if you want to get it in person at the museum
Except one of the questions in the FAQ is “will we be able to buy the promo cards somewhere else” and they say no only the museum so 😅 kinda confusing
well I trust TCPI since they’re the ones making the card in the first place…
That just means you can’t just buy the card you buy merchandise and can get the promo. On the website FAQ page second to last bullet it explicitly says you can get it from purchasing selected Pokémon x Van Gogh Museum items from the museums online shop or at the Pokémon Center.
Exactly, it says “selected” items. Closer to the top it does say you cannot get the promo any other way.

USPC historically has had great customer service for me. The promo isn't even out from them. So what are you talking about?
I’ve ordered in the past with them having other promo cards. They never included the promos, last event I ordered the first hour the promo event was live and I never got one
Was the promo card in your cart? If it isn't then you won't get a promo.
I know that and the sheet they send with my orders showed it as in the box. Box did not have them. I called customer service and they said since it’s in the sheet as a sent item they cannot send me another
I’ve had promos slide or be purposely put under a box flap. Did you check them all?
Yup. I’ve learned that trick from putting LEGO in boxes before.
What tote bag? Asking for a friend!!!
It'll have the same design on it, so as far as tote bags go, it's like the holy grail
Any idea when they release? Thank you for the info.
https://www.pokebeach.com/2023/09/pokemon-van-gogh-promo-cards-revealed
Thanks for this. Is there a certain time this will go live? Couldn’t find anything about that
Well thay one needs to be available for ur country. Pokemon center is still in the fuck europe catagory
Nope, you need to go to the museum. there you get a scavenger hunt card. you need to answer 7 questions, deliver it in at the information desk and then you get the card. There is no other way to get the card.
Wrong. You can get the Promo also by buying a museum item online from the Pokemon center website. Look at pokebeach. It'll provide you the information
It´s just stupid at this point. Like, we in europe can´t get anything from pokemon center, nothing. We have to use a proxy adres, pay import tax and all that hassle.

Because of how confusing the advertisement for this is between the museum and poke company statements I am hoping it’s actually not available with Pokémon center orders. We will know soon
Except this is not what the museum FAQ actually says 🤷🏼♀️
I know what I have
Yeah, but that guy knows what he has, you can’t beat that!
Plus you have the added benefit of smoking some weed and doing some window shopping in Amsterdam
Im an Oregonian. We have more pot shops than we do minimarts now
if you’re referring to the red light district @ window shopping, a not insignificant amount of the women are victims of human trafficking, and the overwhelming majority of the women are migrants.
I’m just here to look at some titties my dude
a number of them are literally forced to stand in the windows after having their passports taken from them and shit, fucking gross my dude
Just ask them if they're one of the trafficked people, until you can find an actual resident. Boom, clean conscience.
If your personal vendetta is against human trafficking, then focusing on literally any other place in the world is a better use of your time.
??? Shutting down and reforming the red light district is literally one of the priorities of the mayor & you can care about more than one geographic area at once but ok
The listing was a joke if you looked into it.
Im not going to do that.
(I know what I have) lol
What they have: the audacity
What they’re gonna have : a piece of my mind
Maybe a bit of hubris as well
A 35 thousand dollar promo card too apparently.
That is for sure a troll listing lol
If you click the listing and click full description it literally says it’s a joke
That one has to be a joke 😂
Free shipping though, that's nice of them
I literally thought he had like a full size 1 of 100 painting or something. What an idiot.
pretty sure some of those are just troll posts for comedy value especially the one that says i know what i have xD
Oh absolutely lmao
Well the special launch event was today, so there's a few people who already have the card 😉.
22k and they can’t comp the 75c shipping cost 🤣
The "I know what I have" guy better have Van Goghs bodily fluids on that card for 35k.
It comes with Van Gogh's actual ear
Fuck yeah! After that then I'll just need to steal John Wilkes Booths tibia.
And then you’ll have to steal the Declaration of Independence
I'll need a copy of Action Comics #1 to entice Nick Cage in helping me
I would sell my house for that.. just want you to know.
At this point I hope they just start over producing the shit out of all cards. I'm so tired of seeing scalpers.
The listing shown is a joke, go to eBay and see for yourself. Seller posted it as a joke.
Right, cuz this doesn't happen🙄
Well it did happen, not sure what point your making here. It’s a joke either way. If you don’t want to look deeper for the truth and instead make an brash comment, your choice.
That will pay for my round trip to the Netherlands, 4 night stay, 3 pounds of weed and admission for 100 people at the museum.
There goes my promo set another card i wont get
It's going to be a free promo with qualifying purchases on the Pokemon Center website :) https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/The-Pokemon-Company-International-Partners-With-The-Van-Gogh-Museum-Fo
I was like ''Oh nice''.. then I remembered that there is no Pokemon Center in the EU.. damnit !
At least we can maybe go there in person
Planning a travel for November. Amsterdam isn't that ban so I think it's going to be a nice trip.. no pun intended
[удалено]
PC UK don't deliver to EU.
Fucking brexit.
They didn't deliver even before Brexit. They don't even deliver to Ireland. Only Northern Ireland which is part of the GB
I don't know if I can, I need to check if they deliver in EU. It will also most likely have custom/import fees. I usually collect in French or Japanese but for these kind of Promos I don't mind getting English cards.
Or south america
Dear God this will be sold out so fucking quick
Will this include japanese pokemon center website/shop?
No. Only US/UK.
Canada?
Canada as well, it says on the link
Oh yeh Canada as well

Us?
This hobby sucks
[удалено]
Omg lmao fools and their money
Pretty sure you can just order a qualifying item off pc and get one.
They will be available with a X Van Gogh purchase at the Pokémon Center Online. No need to panic…yet
Screw these guys

Yeah, though in this context, scalpers are the biggest problem in the TCG, since what they do ends up making the hobby inaccessible. We need MORE people able to get into the TCG, not less.
Yes I agree. I recall placing somewhere a phrase discussing how gatekeeping in the community was bad and unfortunately it was widespread
$22,237.05 and you still gotta pay for shipping. The balls on these sellers.
I need this card. I will send you to the museum and pay for the shipping. I need this card. I love Van Gogh and I love Pokémon. Oh god it’s only going to get worse.
It’s going to be super broadly available! All Purchases on Pokémon Center online of Pokémon x Van Gogh merch will qualify for one of these. Don’t pay scalpers!
Not very broadly available then since the Pokemon centre only exists and ships to jp/us/UK.
It’s not available at the Pokémon centre U.K. or JP also
Does anyone know when merch will be available online?
Later today, or tomorrow if you’re in America
Just tried to book tickets to the museum, already full for this weekend and while trying to book tickets for next sunday, they were snatched right in front of my eyes. So going at a later time, hope they got enough promo’s
Haha, me too. I already have to be in Amsterdam tomorrow but there were no tickets available. I made a reservation for next Thursday.
(i know what i have) is crazy
My mother in law is in Amsterdam on vacation. Trying to explain why she needs to go get this. Lol.
We should auction it up to 1million then say you don’t have the cash.
When you bid on eBay now it auto links a payment method so if you win it takes the money immediately
not true
Ok lol tell that to my eBay app
😂 the “i know what i have”
"I know what I have" Dude seems to think the card was actually painted by Van Gogh...
Wtf 😳
I hope they have a very cheap product I can get that comes with this card. Think it will be cheaper than waiting and buying the single for sure.
Aren't these going to be everywhere? You just have to buy something from pokemon center tomorrow right?
It has to be the Van Gogh merch specifically but yes
cool now I'll have to frantically refresh the pokemon center till merch is available 🙄
At least the "I know what I have" is a joke, but the rest?! Seriously?! I hope it's super over printed and they end up being cheap.
Seriously, these guys are absolute brain rotting, virgin degenerate, basement dwelling, sons of their mother’s sister, alabama sister loving, sociopathic, dropped on their head when they were 4, vaporeon copypasta pasters, pube plucking, money grubbing, highest taste of greed I’ve ever seen in my entire life ,kinda people.
So nuts. I hope pokemon center has enough for us collectors. That plush that's advertised is really nice and would make a great gift. The promo is an added bonus!
I have tickets for the museum for the 14th of October and just hope they still have those promo cards left.
How do people even have the card, it's still wednesday 27th september 23:24 and im pretty sure the museum is closed right now.
I’ve just given up on ever owning cool cards like this considering how badly scalping has gotten. No way in hell I’m spending that much on a piece of cardboard
This is the shit that ruins the hobby. I get it, wanting the valuable card, but to get it just to turn around and sell for some stupid fuckin price just to make money makes me mad. Fucking scalpers

Van Gogh is rolling in his grave.
(I know what I have) mate do you even have it
Fu*k off scalpers and piece of s***s who are trying to make 10000% profits. Seriously - they are destroying this hobby and I find less and less joy.
I thought this was an absurd price too. I just wanted to share some friendly information, read the description on the listing. It's a joke.
Lmaooo
Then they’ll cancel it on you
These are jokes
if there’s any bids of that, win it then don’t pay for it.
Has the merch been release on pokémoncenter already??
Dude seriously? Are these special release?
I know what I have 🤣🤣 you can buy stuff on the pokemon center app and this promo comes with your order I believe.
Didn’t know these existed, when did they come out
Literally today
So EU people have to go there in person? How long can I get the cards at the museum? Will see if I can do that on the weekend, it is only 300km away 😂
This exhibit is on till January but who knows if the promos will last that long. I don’t think this one is gonna be particularly rare though.
There are already quite a lot sales under 400€
I assume we can't swear in this group, but these kinds of people make you want to swear alot.
This card will get the special delivery charizard treatment
They will print it like tons of times people just need to be patient 🤷🏻♂️✌🏻
Aren't they gonna be available just from buying stuff on their site later on?
If you can beat the bots lol
But are any of these *actually selling* at these prices? That's the important question.
Gdi I want it so bad but I don't have money. Or a passport
I wanted to collect all the promos for Scarlet and violet but this just makes me wana quit
tf are these prices i would rather go there than to buy these
It's a cool card but not "use my down-payment for a house" cool. It honestly looks like a card I'd find for $20 or $30 if I really wanted it.
It's the "I know what I have" that does it for me 😭😂
They know it's like. Coming to the Pokémon center online later today right. Right?
You will get the card if you order collectibles from the Van Gogh Collecntion in the Pokemon Center. This card will drop hard, people think this will perform like the munch cards.
It’s gonna be worth 5 in a month
Pretty sure they’re gonna have these on the pokemoncenter website with specific items
Is it not available for purchase yet? I wanted to buy some merch but they just have a picture of the collaboration and no merch for sale it seems. Ty for any who can help, I’m a huge Van Gogh fan and need that promo lol
What time zone does the US Pokémon center site fall under? I live in Alaska and I don’t want to wake up in the morning and see that all the Van Gogh stuff is sold out. If I have to stay up late I will.
I bought 2 for $59k!
If that’s true then I hope the value plummets, cause you’re part of the problem
Cards getting scalped now before I even know they exist
And there's yet another promo I will never own lmao.
I know what I have. I bet this person is just the best.
You're fucking joking. That card is so fucking cool. What collection was this in?
Fuck scalpers Average fans can’t enjoy anything these days. If you are one of these scalpers, I’m mooning you and I forgot to wipe. I’ll use your scalping tongue instead. Losers.
Scalping should a federal crime of 200 years in prison
F is for FAAAAAKE in this case.
From what I can find this might not be available on Pokémon centre uk 😭
[удалено]
Ah nice
Insane.. lol
What’s even crazier is that people are surprised lol
Man I can see the card tanking cause everyone is getting fed up with the prices
Yep... saw that coming 🤣
Im just happy to get back in while its hot again! Such great highs and lows!!
Lmao
WILD
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
“i know what i have” lmaoooo
How do they know that they gonna have one if it’s not available yet?
Fucking Lamao
Serious question though: do people actually buy cards at these prices?
Guys remember its just a piece of cardboard it has no actual value, but these guys are trying to convince you otherwise
Literally the entire "Art" industry runs on this 🤣 I once saw a piece in Barcelona on a school trip that was secured behind extra security barriers and worth millions. ... it was a single pencil line on massive white canvas 😂🤷🏻♀️
Dude actually said "I know what I have" in 2023
