Here is the translation from Portuguese to English: "Second-hand Pokémon cards sales on OLX increase by 130% in 2025" Note: The phrase "TP3T" is likely a typo or an abbreviation that doesn't translate accurately. I've omitted it to provide a clear and natural translation.

The sales of used cards of the Pokemon franchise grew 130% through OLX between January and September, compared to the same period of 2024. Yu-gi-oh! had a high of 62% in the same period. This is what points to a survey of the largest marketplace of classifieds of used products, cars and real estate in Brazil, which evaluated four famous brands of collectible letters.

“The collectible card market is an example of how used products can continue to generate value through the circular economy.For those who buy, it is an opportunity to find rare cards and expand the collection for more affordable prices. For those who sell, it is a way to turn items stored at home into extra income”, says Flavio Passos, VP of Autos and Consumer Goods of the OLX Group.

Among the four brands analyzed, Pokemon is the best seller in the sales ranking, with 92% of participation. Yu-gi-oh ranks second, with 4%, followed by Digimon, with 2%, and Magic: The Gathering, with 1% .

Most sought-after and listed

Pokemon cards were also the most sought after, with 91% of participation. Then there are the Yu-Gi-Oh!, with 6%, those of Magic: The Gathering, with 2%, and the Digimon, with 1%.

In the ranking of most advertised, the cards of the Japanese franchise also occupy the lead, but with less participation than in the other rankings, with 83%, followed by Yu-Gi-Oh!, with 13%, Digimon, with 3%, and Magic: The Gathering, with 2%.

How to make an online purchase more safely

• Do not disclose your personal data or cell phone number;
• Be wary of prices or offers that are much lower than the market price;
• Check the platform for information about the seller, such as account age, company registration, if applicable, and licenses;
• OLX offers the OLX Guarantee option, a service for which you can pay for the purchase through the platform, without having to make transfers to third parties. Once the payment is confirmed by OLX, the buyer receives a confirmation message directly in the ad chat;
• Always ask for the receipt for the item you're negotiating. This way, you can be sure of the legal origin of the product, and if it's still under warranty, you can access official technical support.
• In the case of a face-to-face purchase or delivery, choose busy places, such as squares, shopping malls or subway stations. If possible, always go with another adult;
• OLX does not have partnerships with ride-hailing apps such as Uber, Rappi, and 99. For sales and purchases under the OLX Guarantee, deliveries are available throughout Brazil via Correios, Jadlog, Clique e Retire, Loggi, and R3 Transportes. Always check your sales history and how your product will be shipped in the logged-in area of the website or app;
• OLX never requests confirmation or security codes, whether by phone, email, chat, or messaging apps. If you receive any contact on OLX's behalf requesting a code or password, report it on the platform;
• OLX does not send emails with attachments or links that redirect outside the platform. If you receive any such communication, do not download any documents or click on the links.
