Episode Description from the Publisher

Pokemon cards are officially caught in a money laundering crackdown and right as Japan tightens the rules, a mysterious new RED Mew card has surfaced with almost no verification. In this episode of Card Lounge, Rob and Jake break down what the crackdown actually says, unbox a $500 Ace Trainer mystery slab box live, dig into PSA vs Beckett grading trends (centering is the new #1 dealback), and debate why the $130K One Piece Event Finalist Luffy (only 52 copies exist) has outpaced cheaper versions of the same card 4-5x. Plus: a first look at Card Lounge's own 30th Anniversary mystery box, a Hobbit MTG collector box check-in, and a free Ace Trainer box giveaway!LOUNGE5 for 5% back on fees with Arizona TCG!https://www.arizonatcg.com/Check out the Collectr App for all your collecting tracking needs! https://app.getcollectr.com/Card Lounge swag apparell!
