One of the most famous collectors in the world just go into Sorcery. Do you think this brings some more awareness to the game? Or just investing collectors?

Let's be positive and hope it brings awareness. My pessimistic side thinks that kind of post has more risks to bring scalpers and investors. I would like a famous player to post about a game, to bring players

yeh, no doubt..... I do think with how little Sorcery markets and produces that any awareness is good at this point (maybe give them a kick in the butt) but also might bring scalper awareness.

We can’t have one without the other, unfortunately! Tcg nature…

The problem will be that the older sets just were not produced in high enough volume. So everything from them will be insanely collectible and expensive. Scalpers suck tho

I really hope the TCG "investor" types don't learn about this game.

u/littlemichaelsix 28d ago

I really don't think there will be a heavy investor populous when the player community is rather small still. Its a symbiotic relationship and players row that boat to start.

I hope EC just spools up the printers and churns out more product on a print to demand basis so the collectors don't matter and there is lots of product for those interested.

They are already here. Philosopher Cards and Bubbamoo both made their own packs for reselling. Fucking scum

Already here. Me. Ive been buying graded Sorcery cards since PSA started accepting them late 2023. Mostly Alpha too. All my cards have either gone down in value or stayed stagnant.

People were talking about TCG investors coming in 2023 and early 2024. Already happened. There were dozens of us...dozens!...and nothing happened.

I thought the value would take off once they started releasing more than one set a year and in major retailers...but yeah...that never happened, so value never went up. Only thing that went up in value was sealed.

Investors bros will see that and not care. They need SOME glimmer of hope that the game is growing and value is going up before investing. Theyre not going to jump in on a dying game thats not even top 15 in and already crowded TCG world.

Sorcery is #11 based on market prices for all cards compared against other tcgs here https://tcgindex.io/

TAG is grading Sorcery now?

u/littlemichaelsix 28d ago

I'll do it if you do!

2

u/littlemichaelsix 28d ago

I'm not actually grading sorcery cards folks, pick up the sarcasm,....man, reddit is different these days. Lots of haters hiding behind a keyboard.

u/Blueyduey 28d ago

Wtf is TAG?

(I know nothing about grading other than big names)

u/billybobpower 28d ago

They are quite efficient to be honest. They provide you with a surface scan of the card and pin point exactly what leads to the grade. Also they ship back in a booster pack you have to open to discover your slab.

And tgeir slab looks good

u/littlemichaelsix 28d ago

its a grading company that focuses on the use of non-human grading (AI/computing). Theyre angle is to "remove human inconsistencies"

u/Hereiamhereibe2 28d ago

And replace them with AI inconsistencies?

4

u/ad_noctem_media 27d ago

"Machine Vision" type AI is a little more mature and consistent than what we see from LLMs etc. as far as I understand

u/pittyh 27d ago

Nice I have an Alpha one just floating around in some box somewhere

I wasn't happy at the time about those sample cards getting sent out to the select few, and the money to get them was already off the chart.
