EBay's data shows that Korean sellers in the Collectible Card Games Category experienced the highest sales growth among all Korean sellers on the platform from July to September this year. The popularity of these cards, particularly those featuring characters from the globally beloved animated franchise Pokemon and the esports team T1, has attracted buyers worldwide. The 2026 KOREA MEGA FESTA Magikarp card emerged as the top-selling item in the category, ranking ninth in overall sales among Korean sellers on eBay.
