  Thanks for the video! Looking at opening a physical store myself and nervous to pull the trigger on the fact that you can’t get distributor accounts until you’re basically ready to open 😬

  This is a great video.  Most people want to just think they just need to buy some tables and some cards and they are good to go, and it's so much more than you can imagine.  I've done a comic shop and I've done a game shop, and I learned the hard way, Live by the Rule of 3.  Pre plan and calculate all costs and timelines....and then realistically be prepared for them to take 3x as long as planned and cost 3x as much as you expected.

  Huge congratulations to Legendary Cardboard on their opening! 🎉 Super excited for you guys—your progress has been incredibly motivating as I work towards getting my own shop started. Can’t wait to see all the success coming your way! Hoping to join the storefront world soon, even though Jersey taxes are a bit of a hurdle. Wishing you all the best!

  Smart move to get some quality pieces in the store! Also, definitely think the eSports lounge will be great for keeping a steady revenue stream MoM.

  Love the video and behind the scenes. I enjoy some of the art in the Lorcana sets, but my kids still prefer pokemon. Pokemon is crazy right now. I can't imagine what a distributor can charge for the popular sets after release. I was kind of lucky finding some prismatic in the wild at a couple places the first 10 days or so of release. You are an inspiration to the TCG community.

  I have a small welding shop. I’m only 38 5 years in business. Let me tell you not easy. Long hours insurance workers comp payroll. Supplies such as safety gear. It’s hard to own a business if you don’t have connections with vendors and clients. Keep your head up and keep pushing.

  Wish you all the best with your business. As a sealed collector/investor seeing you open those cases hurts lol
