Beckett just sent a Pokemon card to space to prove its grade isn’t just for show

Beckett, a leading trading card company, teamed up with Dragon Shield to launch a highly valuable Black Label Pokémon card into near space. The card was secured in several Dragon Shield sleeves and sent 120,000 feet above Earth using a special setup created by Sent Into Space.

Funko Pop maker admits it might not survive another year as sales crash

by

Okay, so I was checking out the latest numbers for the company that makes those Funko Pops, and things aren’t looking great. They brought in about $250.9 million in sales last quarter, but that’s down 14% from last year. Even worse, they actually lost around a million bucks! They’re saying people just aren’t buying as much stuff right now, import taxes are hitting them hard, and stores are being careful about how much they order. Basically, it’s a tough time for retail, and it’s impacting them big time.

Maybe even higher. Maybe. 🤷‍♀️

The Nation-State’s Last Breath: A Tolstoyan Tale

by

“Modern nation-states, these ancient relics, are nearly 380 years old,” Hope mused, as if recounting the tale of a forgotten war, “pre-dating even the discovery of oxygen and gravity! How quaint!” The internet and blockchain, he argues, are the new muskets of societal organization, allowing humanity to forge bonds across borders as easily as a farmer sows seeds. 🌍⚡
