In Episode 3, we're back in New Jersey for our homecoming show—and another major milestone—as we record the first episode of The Trading Floor from our brand-new professional podcast studio. We recap an incredible weekend at Collect-A-Con New Jersey, where we picked up some unbelievable grails, had our biggest notional show yet, reconnected with familiar faces, and shared packs with the next generation of collectors.

We also dive into the current Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, and One Piece markets, break down our favorite pickups and craziest pulls from the weekend, discuss the three core values that shape Zizouna, answer audience questions, and reflect on what we're learning as we continue to grow the business and the community.

Whether you're chasing grails, following the market, or just love talking cards, pull up a seat and join us on The Trading Floor.

Is the TCG market starting to lose momentum?

Coming off another weekend at Collect-A-Con Charlotte, we break down what we’re seeing firsthand across Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, and One Piece — including where we believe parts of the market are beginning to slow and where we’re still seeing strength.

We talk about what felt different in Charlotte, how the market has evolved over the last few shows, and what we’re watching as we head into the next phase of the year.

We also recap some of our favorite moments from Charlotte, respond to comments and conversations from our recent videos, and give our current views on all three markets.

Is the market simply taking a breather, or are we starting to see a real shift?
