Several outlets report that rare “Times Square Mewtwo” items connected to Pokémon Go’s 10th anniversary raid are being resold on eBay by scalpers at high prices. The items follow an invite-only raid held in New York City as part of the anniversary publicity and in-game celebration. After the raid, third-party sellers list the collectibles online for amounts described as “five figures,” according to the report. The underlying event draws attention because of its limited access: players who could participate in the Times Square raid had a smaller opportunity to obtain the associated in-game reward compared with the wider player base.
While the main report focuses on resale listings and pricing, the broader coverage around the anniversary highlights the event’s scale and visibility, including large numbers of players gathering in Times Square to attempt to join or watch the raid activities, as described in related references. The reported situation illustrates how limited, location-based or access-restricted gaming events can lead to secondary-market activity when demand outpaces supply.
