It’s funny that this shot has went mainstream because a few people in collecting hobbies have been trying to pull off the scam for a long time now. Most recently some guy bought up a fuck ton of Derek Carr cards and started making YouTube videos about how Derek Carr cards are going to make him millions, and they can make you one too.

its a bit different when completionists can't finish a card collection and AFOL's literally can't build anything shapely

This shit is like the wall street shortbuy but in retarded. I think i have seen traces of this. On a bricklinck store they had like 100s of left side wedges for like under a cent and none of the right. So i bought a heck ton of them, and that's it.

This has been done repeatedly, successfully, with magic cards for a long time now.

I remember when Star City games successfully manipulated the market to double the price of fetchlands.

>lets scalp children's toys and pretend we're fucking over the kikes like those reddit fags actually managed to do with the shortsold stocks of a bunch of dying companies
You clearly didn't get the point of the WSB shit if you thought it was "lets scalp stocks".
