Hallmark's Keepsake line has long been a partner with Nintendo, translating iconic characters and scenes into physical ornaments for collectors.

Selling autographed merchandise has become so lucrative that celebrities and athletes are told not to sign anything with blue ink because it's believed that this makes their John Hancock easier to scan and forge. It's true that if you don't actually see someone sign something in front of you, it's pretty difficult to verify if a signature is legitimate, so it's good to be cautious when buying signed merchandise from a third party.

In 1998, the first Pokemon games made their way to America as Pokemon Red and Pokemon Blue.
