  "account": "Gopuff has introduced a six-week initiative to drop Pokémon trading cards every Friday at 3 p.m. ET, offering collector packs and single-card deals with delivery times as short as 15 minutes. This novel approach to purchasing Pokémon cards eschews the usual retail challenges of depleted shelves and delayed orders. Starting November 6, the app features a specialized storefront showcasing upcoming drops, enabling users to monitor forthcoming releases, receive alerts, and queue items before checkout. While the platform maintains a first-come, first-served model akin to other retail apps, the initiative has been buoyed by a 335% increase in Pokémon card sales over the past year. Notable items to watch for include the Mega Evolution Pitch Black Elite Trainer Box and the 30th Celebration Poster Collection. In addition, every weekly drop features a \"Hit of the Week,\" a single high-value card offered below market value, courting collectors eager to secure these prized pieces. The drop schedule operates on a predictable timeline: Monday activates a countdown timer on the Gopuff platform, Thursday provides the product preview, and Friday is the designated day for the drop. Orders are processed from nearby micro-fulfillment centers and dispatched in record time, arriving within 15 minutes of the 3 p.m. ET launch. Success hinges on staying connected during the drop, as the app's real-time notification system enables swift checkout amidst the anticipated frenzy.",
