The business owner told NeedToKnow that the pair left without paying for the cards, which are worth over £300.
It happened in Hinckley, Leics, on Monday, (23 Feb), as reported by Need To Know.
The owner said: “Watch out.
“These two thieves thought they were Team Rocket.
“Local businesses beware, over £300 worth of Pokémon slabs and singles.
“All live stock is behind the counter or in locked cabinets.
“We keep some cards on the counter for people to look through but have cameras set up as a deterrent.
“Unfortunately can’t catch them all.
“But hopefully it will be a deterrent for any future would be thieves.”
Leicestershire Police has been approached for comment.
