Cecilily discusses the financialisation of Pokemon cards as an investment vehicle.
It’s one thing that makes me pause in teaching my niece how to play, I don’t want her to get caught up in the abstraction of the cards as anything other than pieces of cardboard with funny pictures of animals
That’s cool to hear, I had some anxiety about potentially playing it again (after a 25 year hiatus lol), was worried it might have went further off the deep end in lootbox greed or something.
