Overview

In a creative twist on in-person giveaways, Pokémon launched its 'Poké Post Office' — a travelling pop-up across the UK where fans could send a stamped Pikachu or Eevee card to a friend (or themselves) completely free. Alongside the card, each participant also received a free gift pack including a stamped promo card labelled “Pokémon Together.”

The catch? You had to show up in person to one of three rotating locations across the UK. While information was limited at launch, early signs pointed to international resale interest, especially for Pikachu cards, which typically perform better. With EU/UK exclusivity, these free promos are expected to gain momentum in the GSP and collector markets.

Breaking Down the Flip

The event was completely free, requiring only in-person attendance at designated Poké Post Office locations.

Mailing a card to a friend (or yourself) earned you either a Pikachu or Eevee stamped promo card.

The cards are marked with a unique “Pokémon Together” stamp, which adds collector value.

Early estimates suggest each card could flip fo

r £50+, especially with limited availability and international demand.

With no cost or risk involved, this is a strong speculative flip for anyone who attended or can access multiples.

Final Thoughts

This flip ticks every box: zero cost, exclusive branding, physical scarcity, and a globally recognised franchise. The “Pokémon Together” stamp adds an official touch that collectors love, especially in overseas markets where access is limited.

Even better? There’s speculation that looping was possible — meaning multiple cards in a day for the determined few. With Pikachu often commanding premium resale and Eevee holding its own, this flip is pure upside with no risk. If you were smart enough to mail yourself a card (or ten), well played.
