Over the last six months, my numbers look roughly as follows: $103,789.23 in gross spending (include cards, packs, shipping, fees, etc.) $112,172.46 in revenue across all platforms ~$21,000 in raw card/pack inventory (based on current market value) ~400 cards at third-party grading services with a declared value of approximately $50,000 (based on current market value and their anticipated grades) What blows my mind about this entire process is that there are sellers that dwarf these numbers in terms of sales and sophistication of operation

Distant MelodyDistant Melody is a Pauper all-star and draws a ton of cards, giving the deck a massive mid- to late-game push
Truly, many cards are downright clunky to read
