And now it's kind of calmed down a little bit.
There was a big crash.
Everything's kind of getting back to normal.

And it's done some interesting things to it.
That's interesting.

Magic the Gathering has just kind of come around to serialized cards and foils and all that kind of shit really in the last six or seven years, I think.
Got it.
But...
I mean, it's all there now.
And there's all these other little trading card games popping up like Sorcery and Flesh and Blood.

So people are day trading these cards?
