when we’re not slinging shiny cardboard (vending, streaming, working on our upcoming card shop…!!) we love a good bfast sammie to fuel us as we continue to build trovie . we love having y’all along for the ride!

what’s your favorite way to spend a weekend?

what a RIDE 2026 has been so far! between returning to the hobby after 20+ years, starting our TikTok stream, vending, building trovie and now about to open a card shop in Atlanta…can’t believe how fast this year has gone by and how we are only just getting started. so beyond grateful for everyone we’ve met along the way and can’t wait to see how the rest of this year plays out 🤘🏻

What a ride it has been! Thank you everyone for growing this event into what it has become! Thank you Round Trip Brewing Company for hosting us tonight!

34 VENDORS IS CRAZY!

We will have MISFITSSS and BUN & BITES on site serving up some DELICIOUS grub!

We also have some incredible vendors coming tonight bringing the heat! 🔥🔥🔥

There will be tables dedicated to players as well so make sure you ask for our Pokémon or Riftbound starter decks and a play mat if you’re looking to learn!

Make sure to come back and let us know your thoughts on how we can make this event better in the future🫶🏻

Leave a comment below for what you’re looking for at the show so our vendors know what to bring from their vaults!👀👀

The TCG community needs small businesses to thrive. Vendors, game shops, show coordinators, tournament organizers, etc are all a part of an eco system that is truly the backbone of the community. Imagine a world where small game shops don’t exist and card shows don’t have enough vendors. This would be detrimental to the hobby. As small business owners, we have experienced some of the most stressful days of our lives and have sacrificed so much and we know we are not alone.

However, I cannot quit. I will not quit. I am determined to help those who are core to the hobby because I truly believe TCGs are instrumental to mental health, which is something I’m incredibly passionate about.

I believe I can help. Even if it’s in the smallest way possible. As business owners in this industry, we can’t look at each other as competitors. We have to find be partners with a shared goal to grow together.

This is an opportunity for us to be vulnerable. Share our struggles. Help each other succeed and we will all succeed together and the hobby, collectors and players will benefit.

Share your struggles, ask your questions or give me feedback on what I can do to help in the comments.

Much love - Jake 🫶🏻
