Kanye West turned a Wednesday night into a core memory for his four kids. The rapper showed up at LA Sports Cards in Burbank with North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm, and the store closed its doors to the public so he could shop privately. According to a source, he spent thousands upon thousands on Pokémon cards, and the kids were thrilled cracking packs open.
The card shop posted photos of West posing with employees on Thursday, and it turns out this is a full family pattern. West visited the same store with his youngest son back in May, Kim Kardashian stopped by separately in February, and Saint pulled a rare Kyogre card at the LA Sports Card Expo in August. Psalm even had a Pokémon themed birthday party earlier this year, so this isn’t a casual interest. It’s a lifestyle.
The outing lands right in the middle of the trading card boom, where packs are flying off shelves and rare pulls are basically modern treasure hunts. For a famous family to go all in on the same hobby so many listeners share with their own kids? Relatable, just with a way bigger budget. So what’s the best card you or your kid has ever pulled? Tell us in the comments.
