The card show that banned the sale of retail product at their show just posted an update expanding on their rules and I couldn't be happier. Looks like they heard the feedback and implemented them. More of this please.
"As many of you know, we announced that we would be banning the sale of sealed product currently available at retail, allowing only retired sealed products at the show.
Originally, we made an exception that allowed attendees to sell sealed retail products to vendors. However, after hearing your feedback, we agree – this doesn’t align with the spirit of the rule.
So to be clear: ALL buying and selling of retail sealed product will be banned across the board. This includes both vendors and attendees.
We understand this may be frustrating for some, but we believe this is the right move for the long-term health of the community and the integrity of the show. Our focus will remain on slabs, singles, and binders.
In addition, we will be banning all gambling-style games (spin the wheel, dice rolls, etc.) as well as mystery packs and boxes.
We fully support artists and want them to continue being part of the show. But moving forward, any fan art cards must be clearly labeled to avoid confusion.
Our goal is simple: create an environment centered around the love of Pokémon – not one that feeds into the scalping market.
Thank you again for all the support. We’ll see you at the next show! (TBA soon)"

Just thought I'd share. Love to see it and curious how this plays out!
