It was the best of times, it was the blerst of times. Working in the trading and collectible card industry is as unique an experience as they come and while we've both been lucky to operate within this industry, we've been here for a while and it's time to reflect. We picked a few key markers, parts of this industry that best represent the overall experiences shared at the vendor level and the LGS level and discuss our current feelings about them. What's changed, what we miss, and what we like. Just two old fogeys waxing poetic about an industry they've been working in since they became legal adults.
