Summary

As Jake was starting to talk about the collectors market for video games last episode Mike interrupted (productively for once) to suggest the world of collecting deserved it's own episode. So here it is! Jake talks the video game collecting boom that started a few years ago and the corruption that followed, Holden talks about the insane rise of Pokémon fever and Magic cards, and Mike has some articulated points on collecting action figures and comic books and we all ask "Is this stuff as fun once you're doing it for money"? The answer will not surprise you! Want even more Nerd of Mouth? Support us on Patreon! www.patreon.com/nerdofmouth
