This week we look at the trend of late for ‘the hobby’ to circle the wagons when a perceived predatory newbie steps up. At what point is this suspicious welcome bouquet actually damaging to the Marvel cards scene? How can the hobby welcome those attracted by the current spike in Marvel cards popularity and visibility, without tarring & feathering those attracted to the shinier cards that are popular, while ALSO policing those making moves from the sport & investment side (which many perceive as ‘the dark side’). Lots to chew on, we get into it. Our ‘tasting notes’ – featuring any images and links we discuss - can be found via our Facebook page.
