"There’s currently a pump and dump on retro video games but I don’t think the same supply issues exist in Pokémon cards, but I’m not actively monitoring either market."

Can you clarify what the pump and dump on retro video games looks like? To me, there seems to be real demand for retro video games. You can see the interest in various subreddits.

Sorry it’s a long watch. The tldr is that people involved in several high end sales, and game rating and auction houses are known business associates creating a conflict of interest and inflating sale prices artificially.

Thanks. This is very informative. I think growing collectible markets will always be susceptible to shill auctions.

That guys channel is very cool, I’m not into speed running but the way he breaks down bugs and cheats is very interesting, he also occasionally stabs at stuff like this where his thoughts are very well thought out, I’ve never checked his sources but I assume they’re legitimate.
