According to @CardLadder, collectors spent over $1 BILLION in October, the highest spending ever recorded in a single month. 😱
For perspective, October of last year saw just $392M in sales.
And that $1B only accounts for a handful of marketplaces. Factor in an estimated $500M+ in digital repacks and another $1B+ in live streaming sales, and the hobby could be generating over $2.5B in monthly sales volume. 🤯
That doesn't even include private sales.

October card sales pass $1 billion for the first time on @CardLadder's tracker.
Even the grails, led by a $4,880,000 Mudkip at @GoldinCo, don't reach 2% of it.
Everybody else made the billion: cardwire.com/wire/2026-11-03…
