luckily , the item is n’t as scarce as some of the scalpers might want to believe . If you were n’t able to serve the exhibition , which runs until January 7 , you will be able to get the promo carte and the rest of the items by purchasing them from the Van Gogh collection via thePokemon Center . As such , you may get your hands on the Pikachu with a Felt Hat without being stomp . The Pokemon Center website lists the card as a foil , while the one at the Van Gogh display is a non - foil card . It still remain to be go out if that is a website error or if there are two different versions of the coveted carte du jour .
This has n’t end the scalpers , however , as the listings for the Pikachu with a Felt Hat and other detail from the Exhibition have begun to make the roundsacross sites like Ebaywith prices exceed $ 100 USD .
