GameStop did $356.3 million in collectibles last quarter, up 57 percent from a year ago.
That is 45.1 percent of everything they sold, up from 23.4 percent.
Their overall sales were down 19 percent, so cards and toys are carrying the store now.
They have been ripping out shelves to add table space for TCG events.

Is GameStop stealing your customers, or training new collectors who end up at your counter anyway?

Bowman Chrome is the only real box on this list. Is one box of it worth more to you than everything else here put together?

Bowman Chrome is the only one on this list most shops will order deep. Is that still earned, or has the prospect market gone too soft to justify it?

Fanatics and UEFA signed a six year extension, 2027 through 2033.
It covers the Champions League, Women's Champions League, Europa League, Conference League, Super Cup and Youth League.
Players in their first ever Champions League match now wear a patch on the sleeve, and that patch goes into a 1 of 1 card.
First ones land in Topps UEFA Champions League Chrome later this season.

Is Champions League Chrome finally worth shelf space in a US shop, or is soccer still the section that does not move for you?
