  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Pokemon Scarlet & Violet has been a major hit in the Pokemon trading card industry and their Prismatic Evolutions line has been severely hard to come by as the demand has heavily outweighed the supply. As such, Griezmann, who is known to have a major collection of Pokemon trading cards, didn't think twice when he spotted popular Pokemon streamer Darizard9 offering him two Prismatic Evolutions Elite Trainer Boxes in exchange for his match-worn shirt after Atletico Madrid's 5-0 win over Getafe.

  One could argue that Griezmann got the short end of the deal as his match-worn shirts generally go for around $3500 (£2800) while two Prismatic Evolutions Elite Trainer Boxes are sold for $120 (£96.6). However, due to the short supply, just one card from the Prismatic Evolutions line currently sells for over $100 (£80.5) and with two Elite Trainer Boxes holding approximately 180 cards, the former French international got the better deal. The prices, though, will soon drop as Pokemon prepares to release new stock over the next couple of months.
