Cecilily discusses the financialisation of Pokemon cards as an investment vehicle.

It's one thing that makes me pause in teaching my niece how to play, I don't want her to get caught up in the abstraction of the cards as anything other than pieces of cardboard with funny pictures of animals

I always thought MTG should have done the same thing where they make a pack of "10 random art basic lands of one/two colors" and sell them for like 3 bucks. Maybe toss in a few lightning bolts and land tutors in there too, idk

When i went through and sold off my old old cards i was amazed how much the bolts were worth still. When every deck runs 4 of something it doesn't matter how commonly they show up in packs i guess
