Why Most New TCGs Will FAIL ft. Adrive Creator of Elestrals | Ep 90 | Card Lounge

Elestrals creator Adrive joins the Card Lounge to break down the Pokémon market, why most new TCGs will fail, and what it really takes to build a trading card game from scratch. From selling a $50K sealed EX Deoxys box to overprinting 25,000 boxes of his own set, Adrive shares the mistakes, the wins, and the 1 of 10 serialized card that has never been pulled.We cover the Black Label Mega Gengar crash ($80K to $16K), whether The Pokémon Company controls supply on purpose, collector boosters in Lorcana, One Piece Pandaman gate, the hidden Mew debate, and how Elestrals serialized cards, divine packs, and the spirit deck system work. Plus an Elestrals booster box opening and Adrive's top Pokémon grails, including the Neo Discovery 1st Edition Yanma.LOUNGE5 for 5% Back w/ Arizona TCG! https://www.arizonatcg.com/Collectr App to Track Cards! https://app.getcollectr.com/A huge thanks to Adrive for coming on the pod!https://www.youtube.com/@Elestralshttps://www.shopelestrals.com/?ref=CardLounge
