would you actually buy Pokemon cards from a vending machine? (need honest feedback before I waste money)

Seeking Advice/Help

quick question for you all.

I already run vending machines in bars and clubs. Decent business.

but I keep seeing Pokemon card vending machines completely sold out everywhere I go. like, empty shelves sold out.

got me thinking - should I add Pokemon packs to my existing machines?

my locations have good foot traffic. Drunk people make impulsive purchases. And apparently everyone's buying these cards.

local pricing is $7+ per pack. Found wholesale that could work.

need honest feedback before I test this. Is this actually money or just something that looks good on paper?
