I read the entire article. I actually felt like I will stop collecting modern at that time, I didn't feel that emotion last week with Topps losing their license. I don't collect to invest, and trying to buy my collectibles on an investment platform seems wrong. I don't grade, I don't use a vault service, and I don't want a company tracking my purchases to make future suggestions. It's just more junk in my email to ignore. I was dismayed by the sentence they would provide ever more data to professional teams about hobby purchases.
I have a LCS, and I consider the owner more than an acquaintance. He lives down the road from my parents, and I've known him for 25 years. It's just kind of sad to consider they will cut him out of product releases. He is the only vintage LCS locally, so he might have to adjust his inventory. Who knows if he will even stay open.
Good thing I've been collecting vintage for a decade+ and thank God there is a site like Net54.
