How many kids do you think would have been able to pay for a $1000-1500 box of Prizm/Select/Optic? How many kids do you think could pay for just a 1 pack at $100 and more? Those products, okay can be pricey for sure. How about Phoenix at 600+. Plates & Patches $300+? Even $200+ for a low end boxes like Certified is out of reach for the majority of kids.

But could they get a Prizm Blaster for $20 or so.

There has to be a way to grow the hobby to kids. Retail was that outlet until adult greed came into play.

How many cards do you think grow in value long term if the the hobby is unable to sustain new collectors, which are typically children in the hobby if there isn't affordable option for them to get even into base cards and set building?
