Is Pokémon still one market?

After San Francisco Collect-A-Con, we’re not so sure.

In Episode 6 of The Trading Floor, we break down what we’re seeing across Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, One Piece and the broader TCG hobby — including why vintage low-pop Pokémon and modern Pokémon increasingly feel like two completely different markets.

We talk trends, what we saw on the floor in San Francisco, and where we think the hobby stands right now.

Is the TCG market starting to lose momentum?

Coming off another weekend at Collect-A-Con Charlotte, we break down what we’re seeing firsthand across Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, and One Piece — including where we believe parts of the market are beginning to slow and where we’re still seeing strength.

We talk about what felt different in Charlotte, how the market has evolved over the last few shows, and what we’re watching as we head into the next phase of the year.

We also recap some of our favorite moments from Charlotte, respond to comments and conversations from our recent videos, and give our current views on all three markets.

Is the market simply taking a breather, or are we starting to see a real shift?
