Episode Details

Trading cards and collectibles have evolved from a niche hobby into a multibillion-dollar global market. But what’s really driving the economics behind the boom?

In this episode, we sit down with Alladan Flinn, founder of Based Trading Cards, to explore how the collectibles market is changing, from shifting consumer behavior and the rise of younger collectors to the growing conversation around collectibles as an alternative asset class.

We also discuss the economics of trading cards, the lessons behind Based Trading Cards’ successful The Simulation Series 4 sellout, and Alladan’s upcoming book on the economics of the industry.

Looking ahead, we examine where the collectibles market may be headed over the next three to five years, and what collectors, creators, and investors should understand about the forces shaping the future of the industry.
