Natural Disasters and Collectibles

What sort of impact are natural disasters having on the CCG/TCG market? Many disasters force people from their homes with little time to grab their hobbies or any other non-essential items. How many collections are lost each year between fires, hurricanes, tornados, etc.? I was a teen in the 90’s… More

What got you into card Games?
