Aug 29, 2026 · 1 hr 23 min · 17 segments
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…
What's up, guys? Welcome to Collecticon Charlotte Recap.
This is our
fifth episode.
Wow, five.
I know, it's crazy.
Yeah, we're doing five of
them.
You're here with the Zizuna, standing Zizuna magic champion.
Let's go.
Yeah, we play magic on Saturday.
Yeah, we play
popper.
We play Popper, which is a great format if you guys want to get into Magic in a cheaper way than building crazy decks.
Popper's a really good fun format.
Sorry, it was great because we were playing Saturday night.
It was literally Saturday night in Charlotte.
And the hotel that we were staying at has like a club on the roof and it's a really, it's a really nice spot.
It
was cool.
But it was, it killed me because we were sitting, we were sitting in the lobby where it was highly trafficked.
Everybody dressed very nicely, ready to go to the club.
And we are sitting there and I'm being like, all right, I'm spending three, I'm tapping three manos so I can, yeah, yeah, dude.
It's funny because a lot of the people actually walk by going to the club all dressed up and they're like, oh yeah, respect.
It's that thing of
like, oh, I wonder if my boyfriend's cheating right now.
Cut to literally just playing magic.
Are they in a club?
Magic.
Yeah, so that was really fun.
He's not going to be a champion for long.
But I'm coming for you.
We'll see.
But yeah, it was really fun.
