I had a fascinating discussion on Twitter about the current state of the hobby and how card values are skyrocketing. In my discussion, I brought up the Allen and Ginter "Egg card" as well as the Cryptocurrency card, and made the comment that its astounding those cards are worth what they currently are, and that its kind of ridiculous.
Well, once I made that comment, another Twitter user chimed in saying "Noooo! The @TheEggCard is helping to keep the hobby going within our younger generation that is being outpriced. Charitable affiliation is in works! Seriously."
That obviously piqued my interest so I asked that the user elaborate, and they said the following:
"A group of sports cards enthusiasts who grasped the troubles growing in the hobby-youth are being outpriced-are using proceeds from egg (card) profits to give cards to kids at shows and help keep the hobby alive for kids."
He also said he didnt think the cryptocurrency card was related to this movement.
If the above info is legit, then that is pretty awesome! The Egg card even has an official Twitter site, but its unverified.
