Let's talk about the concept of a Boutique TCG that is alive and well. Where enough fans are dedicated enough, love the product enough, and the game creator is smart enough to print a low enough quantity, that the game can survive this way and be profitable. These are my thoughts of what a Boutique TCG is. Let me know if you agree in the comment, can Boutique TCGs exist? what is your idea of what a Boutique Trading Card Game is?

This is the episode I never meant to make. I was testing new recording software with Zach Mystery and TCG Fruition, we just started talking, I hit the record button and this episode was born out of that testing session. The primary topics are Nightfall prices after 3 weeks of post release, and Wilderness print run compared to Magic when it was only a 2 year old game in 1995.
