In an unexpected turn of events this week, TCGPlayer announced the acquisition of both ChannelFireball and BinderPoS (as well as all subsequent organizations and services) which threw us a curveball as we had another topic all lined up. Instead we decided to pivot and discuss this monumental announcement.

Immediately there are a lot of questions ranging from, "What will the new offering looking like for stores that took advantage of the CFBMarket place?" to "What about content?"

We put together a few sweeping bullet points to talk through some of the top level issues we thought were worthwhile to discuss as TCGP continues to reshape itself to look more like Amazon.
