Appreciate your honesty. It seems that a lot of creators are saying they are getting more views and responses by making videos where they just walk around and talk the true for them. I don't mind a little ranting. It's probably how we all feel but just keep it to ourselves. Good Job. I became a Patreon from your content here. Keep keeping it real brother. cheers!
Who still wants to buy New Capenna or Eldraine at this point? We have major new sets coming out every 2 months going forward plus Foundations is staying for 5 years. We're going to add a bunch of remasters and master sets and other supplemental products. This FOMO is imaginary. Remember when we were told there were no more CMMs products left...then they release the Costco bundle with a ton of left over CMM set boosters, plus all the MoM they couldn't sell. If their strategy is to bring new players in with UB, why would they underprint their cards and leave new players hanging? I'm not saying Magic is dying but as a whale who buys a ton of product, I just can't see how things don't slow down. There's just way too much product and many whales are getting fatigued.
50 New Capennal collector boxes have sold on tcgplayer this month. Smart money is snapping these up at 130-140 betting on a future where no collector box ever made goes for less than 250-300 or more Murders at karlov manor is picking up in sales volume, unfinity is creeping up in price rapidly. 1/3 of the player base has played for less than a year and those guys are excited to swipe their credit cards for capeshit secret lairs and anything else you throw at them
Word I started playing with LOTR and I’m already burnt out with how many sets I’m trying to keep up with. As a new player it’s overwhelming I just started skipping sets and prob will skip the whole game eventually. I hope not of course but next year does not have me excited at all
Have a LGS that in the past sold booster box's 60-80$ on sale black Friday am gonna go and see if I can snag some hopefully in the 50-70 range. Usually it is sets that didn't sell as much but figure grab the set and draft boosters cheap and can bring buddy's over do 4$ a pack drafts or something
whats your rough % of income for the store. online sales- instore sales- patreon- i own a store and i dont have patreon but online is about 20% and store is 80%.
Once I saw Moist Critical cracking MTG packs I knew there was gonna be a resurgence. Just wait for 2025, TCGs are coming back around in popularity, just look at the TCG card shop Sim that blew up and the Pokemon app.
Bro- the no beard looks great - u look much younger and not so serious! In other news - play boosters blow and wotc knows it, it's purposed as so to encourage collector purchases i.m.o. and thus has priced me out.
Great channel. Proud of you guys. Running a store is hard work
Congrats again my guy on escaping the mormons
Keep it clean shaving you’re looking much better my g!

If you're talking Wilds of Eldraine, there's actually quite a few good enchantments and other good cards...I'd still buy it
I agree. As a reseller, i see massive consumer weakness. People don’t have the money😢
Thanks for all the work you do and appreciate the insights.
I like the clean shaved look Kevin. Either way keep up the awesome work
Get rid of all that old mtg! If it’s on the shelf after 6 months it’s useless in the new era

Actually looks better w/o the beard imo
The current boom is the crypto bros... But you already knew that. Bear market for crypto... Bear for tcgs. Enjoy the profits until then! 🍻
