I have thought. You remember Jake Paul's stunt with the graded Shounen Jump issue, yes? And there is this. And the next big thing on the collectible market is graded VHS. Did you know this? So could it be that somebody attempts to manipulate the market of for second hand anime, mangos and weeb collectibles? Think about it! The American comic market had a long enshitification by the hands of woke hacks behind it before it partly corrected itself like last thursday. Its still mostly in the crapper. Some comic shops became anime stores to survive. The average age of comic book dorks who still reject mangos is 30 something. Does it resemble something I have already described? OH FUCK
Its the very same situation Carlsen found itself in before the entire franco-belgian to kraut pipeline ripped its collective guts out in front of everybody! That's bad news for the comic book collector's market. Comic books could be western paraphernalia all over again where all the boomers who have collected cowboy nonsense ended up holding the bag. Forever. You see, Collectors aren't made, they are born. And if you don't get them young like something like the comic books industry should, you'll never ever get them. So in order to skim money and sell into the trend, some asshole might promoting that goof to snooker everyone into investing into some collecting category connected to animu and mangos.
Don't believe me? Then maybe you'll believe that guy talking about Nintendo, Pokémon cards, Magic Cards, graded comic books, Actionfigures and ... even a dead squirrel in a box (And maybe I am accidentally not joking, because taxidermy is also a collecting category™)
