Highlights from the Floor

Magic: The Gathering Corner

The Magic section was buzzing with Commander players hunting for staples. Several vendors reported selling out of popular Commander precons by mid-afternoon. The most sought-after cards? Dockside Extortionist reprints and Jeweled Lotus were the hot tickets.

Pokemon Collecting Frenzy

Vintage Pokemon was the star of the show. One vendor brought a collection of 1st Edition Base Set cards that drew a crowd all day. Graded cards in PSA 9 and 10 were moving fast, with buyers eager to add to their collections.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Tournament Ready

Yu-Gi-Oh! vendors came prepared with the latest meta cards. With a new ban list just announced, players were scrambling to update their decks. Snake-Eye and Fiendsmith cards were the most requested.

Riftbound Debut

This was one of the first major events to feature dedicated Riftbound vendor space, and the response was incredible. New players were picking up starter decks, while early adopters were trading rare pulls.
