@vcgriffin the bottom line is, the health of the secondary market can give us somewhat predictable forecasts on the health and longevity of the game. Yu Yu Hakusho was an immensely popular game that was doing fantastic the first two sets with national tournaments, brackets and championships etc. But then the next 3-4 sets, or maybe just 3, started doing the whole bad power creep thing. Each new set invalidated the playability and worth of the previous sets, driving up a temporary demand for the company's sealed product but killed the secondary market. By the time the last set came around, only the people actively involved in the tournament circuits bought product, because everyone knew better - what they were buying would be trash in fourth months tops. The same MAY happen to MLP CCG. And its secondary market and tournament scene need to thrive if they're going to release more sets in the future.
