The "Mercari Trekkie Cup" will be held on June 9!
The "Mercari Trekkie Cup," a Pokémon card game tournament sponsored by Mercari, will be held on June 9, 2024 (Sunday)! This tournament was planned against the backdrop of the recent growth of the card game and trading card market, and will be held in response to the current situation where the number of tournaments is small compared to the scale of trading card transactions.
The maximum number of entries is 512. The best 32, 16, 8, 4, and the finals of the tournament will be broadcast live on the official YouTube channel " Mercari Group Official ". During the live broadcast, the trading cards used by the players will be available for purchase on the "Mercari" site. On the day of the event, Shohei Shibata will be the play-by-play commentator, Hajime Shacho will be the guest commentator, and Miyashiro, the 4th, 5th, and 6th Pokéka Four Heavenly Kings, will participate as an invited player.
The entry period is from Tuesday, May 7, 2024 to Sunday, May 19, 2024 at 11:59 pm. The winner will be announced on Monday, May 27, 2024.
In addition, part of the management staff on the day of the "Mercari Trekker Cup" will be recruited through the " Mercari Halo " application for free time jobs. If you want to be involved in the management of a card game tournament, check it out. There are not many opportunities to participate in the management of a 500-player tournament!

The flea market service "Mercari" has been offering "Anshin Kappraisal" in some categories since March 2024. This is a system that allows both sellers and buyers to conduct transactions with peace of mind by authenticating whether or not an item listed on Mercari is genuine. If you win a prize in the "Mercari Trekkie Cup," you will receive a Pokémon card game box, so if you win a rare card, you can put it up for sale on Mercari.
