The tenant of the shop at Sino Centre in Mong Kok reported the theft on Wednesday after reviewing security footage and discovering the man had taken the cards on April 5 before fleeing the scene.

Police have classified the case as shop theft. The Mong Kok district criminal investigation team is handling the case. No arrests have been made so far.

Officers are searching for a suspect, believed to be about 20 years old, who was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt, black trousers and white shoes, and carrying a black reusable bag at the time of the incident.

Pokemon trading cards, which launched in 1996 in Japan, have exploded in popularity worldwide as collectors’ items.

In February 2026, American influencer Logan Paul sold a PSA 10 Pikachu Illustrator card for a record-breaking US$16.49 million at auction.
