But I think the important thing about that is that when you get to a point with these cards and tops and going to direct to consumer, they don't have enough product because they got to stop the supply chain at some point. So once they fulfill like their distributor, wholesaler, local card shops, they don't have that much inventory to sell on their own site.
So they would have to reel that all back in, which I think they will, and then go direct to consumer. And then that's where it gets, I think that's what they need to do. We could sell that on Ludox and get it out to our people, but they just don't have a lot of product at the end of the day after they fulfill stuff.
