[QUOTE="Undrave, post: 8284557, member: 7015698"] What you're seeing with Pokémon isn't a real 'growth' so much as a speculator bubble. Some popular Youtube bought vintage boxes of Pokémon, found some cards worth a fortune and every idiot out there think they can make money buying cardboard designed for playground children and profit... None of them realize that old cards get valuable because of rarity, and that rarity is born from the fact nobody cared to preserve their cards for 20 years! Most cards they're buying today won't be worth enough to counter the cost of buying all those packs because EVERYBODY will have them! Even in twenty years there will be a glut of them on the market. It's a ridiculous position honestly. And even if a card is valuable today because of its impact on the competitive scene... Pokémon uses a SET ROTATION format, meaning those cards will be useless when the next rotation come... Yu-gi-oh! is also seeing this kind of speculation affecting it (as did all the Sports card). This is the same kind of bubble seen in comics in the 90s and with Star Wars prequel toys. MTG, on the other hand is seeing a proper 'growth' (a lot of it has to do with its online arena I'd wager and the fact that there is a few casual friendly format like Commader). [/QUOTE]
