This is how broken the democratic process in Canada is. A mega bank based in America hired an army of ex-Liberals, Conservatives and NDPers and bolted the issue of Billy Bishop expansion to the top of the priority list for Ford and Carney. No one voted for it. No one wanted it. No one campaigned on it. Torontonians are massively against it. We are under economic warfare. Ontario govt wiped out OSAP for students. Yet govts think it wise to spend their resources on an issue no one wanted except one mega US bank. This is the key danger of privatization. These foreign equity banks are massive, comparable to govts and have ability to bribe and buy out govts. JP Morgan just did it.
28 prominent Torontonians, including Margaret Atwood, David Mirvish and Hayley Wickenheiser, signed a letter demanding the federal government halt any changes to #BillyBishop airport until the city's residents are properly consulted. Read it here: trib.al/LAorT5Q

TCG expert reveals how gacha gambling companies are secretly propping up the entire card market with briefcases of cash "One of these buyers from these websites pulled up to us with an empty cardboard box and said I'm going to be here for a while. He starts collecting cards from all ranges, not just high end stuff. He'll select a card that's $4,000 then go down to cards that are $80 because they need a good distribution for repacking on their website." "He's scanning our cards and telling us you guys are underpricing these. I'm going to pay you market. We said it's okay you can just pay our sticker. He said no that's not how I do business. I like to develop a relationship with my sellers so you can keep selling to me. So I'm going to pay you 100% of the market price even if you have it stickered lower. Me and my boy are looking at each other like is this guy for real right now." "He finishes. It's a stack this big of slabs. He says come on over to the bank. Which was what he called his booth. Guy has a pelican briefcase full of cash with a money counter. Counts it all up. Here you go, good doing business. It was $14,000. And these weren't cards that were in demand. These were bricks. They were not going to move. And this guy just came and swept us. His budget for that single show was $650,000 of cash that he HAD to spend. Think about what that's doing to the market."

We've seen a significant surge in submissions following our announcement of an additional $200 million investment in PSA infrastructure and services. That increase has pushed our active queue to nearly 10 million cards. To help protect the submissions already in our care, PSA is temporarily pausing new submissions for all Value service tiers, effective Tuesday, June 2, 2026 at 3:00 pm PT. For more detail on what's changing, which service levels remain open, and when each Value tier reopens, read our full announcement. psacard.click/Update-May-x

Lol, #mtgsos isn't a gangbusters set because it has strong IP. It's selling out because it has an incredible set of premium cards in the mystical archives. The set narrative is both weak and derivative. #magicthegathering
- Lorwyn Eclipsed broke records as the best selling premier set ever - Secrets of Strixhaven shattered that record already maybe we could trust our internal IP a bit more? HUGE shoutout to Mike for taking all this down, check out the full notes here, tons of good stuff:

Pro Tour prizing is increasingly lagging behind the cost to attend. Ken is spending $2400 for flight and hotel. He's have to finish in the Top 28 to cover that (based on the prize structure for Las Vegas). #mtg

card stores in Japan have seen insane levels of traffic over the past 2 years, making the "Collectors Pilgrimage" a shell of its former self wild prices and poorer condition cards...how sustainable is vendor culture? or is Pokemon well and truly a rich persons play thing now?

If you're selling top SOS Silver Scrolls, I'm buying between buylist and market (Vampiric Tutor, Cyclonic Rift, Jeska's Will, Akroma's Will, Crop Rotation, Ad Naus). Hit me up. No shenanigans please and thanks. #magicthegathering

Yup. Massive con. Spring sales period has been busy. Reinvesting heavily into premium singles. #magicthegathering #mtgfinance
I’m more excited about Magic as a game system / collection of pieces than I have in a long time. Actively making changes because of that.

We had a customer bring these @PSAcard graded cards to the booth - neither of these are legitimate Wizards of the Coast Magic cards. If legitimate, we would have valued them at $10,000 each.

🚨 Ontario hospitals slashing jobs as nearly 75% run massive deficits. • Ottawa Hospital: 400 positions cut (3%) • London: 200 nurses axed • Cuts hitting across the province Patients already waiting 16 hours in ERs. Ford gave $1.1B and hospitals wanted double. Priorities are clearly elsewhere. Audits need to be done, executives & bonuses need to be cut. This is your healthcare system collapsing. Gloucester/Ottawa your hospital is next. RT if you’re furious. Tag your MPP. #OntarioHealthcare #FordFail

I’m saddened to announce that due to declining health I must let my MTG collection go. I have consigned 1000 graded and 5300 ungraded cards from Alpha to Revised to Kid Icarus on eBay tinyurl.com/Kid-Icarus-eBay I would like to thank the community for all the fun since 1994. Cheers!

Looking like there's a strong chance that #mtgsos Collector Boosters mostly just go up from here. Strongest release pattern since Final Fantasy by all accounts and the silver foil Mystical Archives are all time MTG collectibles. #magicthegathering #mtgfinance
