I need to explain to you just how dire America's Pokémon card crisis is
Lately I have been feeling like the economy just <i>broke</i> on a fundamental level over the past year. The vast amount of money sloshing around NFTs are a symptom. And this? This is another symptom.<p>The niche industry of &quot;grading trading cards for collectible value&quot; is <i>completely overflowing</i>. Prices for this service are skyrocketing because the demand far outstrips the availability.<p>Meanwhile we <i>still</i> don&#x27;t have a minimum wage that is anything like livable. $15&#x2F;h was proposed as a sensible raise <i>ten years ago</i> from the current federal minimum of $7 and inflation has not stopped in the intervening time - online inflation calculators say the modern number would be $18.22.
