Could be for sure. Like @slade_sports_cards said, there are a LOT of entry points for collectors. Super fun to watch. Crazy what some of these cards end up going for!!

I’m pretty new to collecting but the Pokémon space (TCG in general, really) seems to attract a MASSIVE audience and it keeps growing. Some of my friends have been into D&D forever, someone just got into actually playing Pokémon and started collected hard. Then, they shifted to Lorcana and have been ripping as many packs as they can buy from Target. It’s caught on and spread around the friend group like crazy…
Seems like it’s a bit more viral or contagious than sports card collecting tends to be because it’s attractive to people that aren’t really into sports…so I’d foresee it lasting a while, personally.

What makes SGC attractive to vintage collectors? Is it just the aesthetics of the slab?
I have a few low end vintage cards that are SGC and I tend to like the way the slab looks much better than PSA. Plus, I’m collecting for myself and not too worried about resale (currently).
