Modern is a cesspool compared to vintage. It’s no surprise to see it implode the way it has in terms of prices. Also the scammer quotient is off the charts with modern, ergo the “cesspool” comment. If you ever check out a Facebook scammer page, in addition to being an incredibly depressing scene, a high % of the posts relate to modern cards not to mention people not paying for “razzes” whatever the hell those things are.

That YouTube station has some good content on occasion. However they get people to click with headlines of pending disaster, economic collapse, sell everything etc. It’s the same strategy employed by many news outlets. Red ticker tape. BREAKING NEWS, that sort of thing. If it’s in all caps then it’s especially important.

I believe they are a new slang term for card "breaks", which was the original slang term they came up with to describe what they were doing.

LOL

I don't know, but thought the exact same thing you did. I guess breaks have been around long enough now that the new people entering the hobby want their own slang term to differentiate them from the older, previous generation.

I don’t think the sky is falling anytime soon.

I do 100% think that the pandemic pricing was a freak anomaly. I fully expect prices to return to 2019 levels more or less by the end of 2023. I also do not see that as a loss just a return to sanity and people who had nothing to do with it and were there for the quick buck going back to their previous whatever’s.
