What Makes Card Collecting So Addictive? | RAD Sportscard and TCG Show

Back before I was even born, trading cards were huge, and then they were big again when I was little.

And it just seems that they come in waves.

And, and then you have y- games as well? And-

So, like, the, the trading card, like, like, game aspect-

Oh

...

so, like, Pokemon is a TCG which makes it cool 'cause not only can you collect the cards and trade them, but then you can also play the actual trading card game.

Same thing with, like, Magic: The Gathering or, or, uh, other card genres like that.

Yeah, I've always heard of the games, but I've never been one to p- play it yet.

I haven't...

It, it just seems really complicated [laughs] to me.

It can be.

I've dabbled in, like, Magic a little bit, and that can be, uh, a little tricky.

I've never tried the Pokemon.

I collected it as a child.

But yeah, I think it's just kind of a learning curve, but, you know, if you get into it, you get into it.

Now, what do you collect?

I'm, I'm a sports guy, so I mainly collect basketball cards.

Uh, my dad took me to my first trading card show when I was around eight.

I bought a bunch of basketball card packs.

I like collecting-

Mm

...

the rookie cards, um, all the rookies that come into the season.

So I've always been a sports guy, mainly basketball.
