Phew, I’m so glad I switched to 3d-printing/war-gaming. That is absurd.

What sucks is this will likely sell “well” too. I have a buddy of mine that is a “whale” and he eats this shit up

I can’t put my finger on a number, but for example every time a new Magic the Gathering Arena Set comes out he buys packs until he has a play set of nearly every rare. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was more than five figures annually.

At least Magic cards are physical goods.

Edit: But apparently, MtG Arena is digital.

You sweet summer child. He means MtG Arena, the online version. They are not physical goods.
