This is an awesome topic for your research paper; you make some really valid points about the Pokémon cards. There are so many aspects to these trading cards, and are collected for various reasons. Like you said these are pretty much currency because people view them as investments, and they are stolen, passed on just like currency. As far as the research goes, I am unsure what non-online source you can use such as a book; maybe there could be different books on reasons of why people collect things. Then from there you can develop a relationship between the characteristics of the Pokémon cards, and relate it to the things in the book of why people collect things. Also in your essay you can relate to your personal experience with Pokémon cards and what made you get so hooked to the cards. You could also use the TV show as reference by saying of the show allows for a bigger audience to recognize Pokémon, which then leads to more people collecting cards, and also seeing the TV show as supplement to the cards they have. All in all I believe you have chosen a very good, and relevant topic for your paper. Maybe you can relate the Pokémon cards to other trading card series and make a comparison of why Pokémon might have been better, or why they were both successful. You could interview children or a little brother you might have and see why he collects the cards and then relate it to your reasons.
