A register of every dated purchase limit or allocation rule for Pokémon cards found in the research, sorted by who set it. Of the rows, 22 were set by retailers, 4 by distributors and 7 by TPC, all 7 of TPC's in its own channel (Pokémon Center and its own lotteries). The one TPC rule aimed at other shops concerns timing, not quantity

How it’s built

1. Each limit found in press, retailer notices and company pages from 2019 to October 2026 was logged with its date, its rule and the company that issued it.
2. A rule counts as TPC-set only when TPC, TPCi or Pokémon Center issued it; rules issued by Target, GameStop, Walmart, Costco, Bic Camera, Yodobashi and others count as theirs.

What we assumed

• The company that announced a limit is the company that set it.Shops sometimes cite supplier guidance without naming it; no announcement found attributes a per-customer cap to TPC.
• Disputed or single-source rows are kept, but marked as weaker.Some limits, such as a Walmart memo, rest on one unconfirmed report; leaving them out would hide what is claimed.

Sanity check

TPCi's own statement, that it cannot be directly involved in deciding which retailers receive product, agrees with a register in which no third-party shop's quantity limit came from TPC.
