This is an emergency alert: your eyes are fine. The cards are actually blurry. This was intentional. You'd better collect them so they don't look so blurry anymore! It's been a weird week for Topps Marvel Collect! While the updated Wish List and Trade List is a welcome improvement, there's not much positive to say about the last week. The "accessibility train" has finally hit Star Wars Card Trader as that app is looking at the death of limited content as well, all but sealing Marvel's fate to be fully accessible from here on out. The problem with that strategy is they need to give people a reason to stay, and most apps including Marvel just aren't doing it. Sets from the past year barely move because whoever wanted them, got them, and the cards are lacking lasting value. While this method makes Topps more money, in the long run all of the people who spend in hopes of their cards gaining value in the future are leaving.
Speaking of leaving, on the Digicast this week Kurcide announced that he is being moved to Topps Innovation and off of Star Wars, and we speculate in this episode what we think actually went on there. He is going to be focusing on the Wax Blockchain, which may be where the big spending, low count collectors flock. Listen in and form your own opinion on the current state of affairs!
