MoistCr1TiKaL Is Buying Every Lord of the Rings Box (Prices Tripled) | Coffee and Cardboard EP07

MoistCr1TiKaL (Charlie or penguinz0) is buying every Lord of the Rings Holiday Special box and the market noticed — regular LOTR collector boxes that sat at $1,000 are now pushing $3,000. This week the gang breaks down what's happening with collector box prices, why scalpers buying Pokémon on credit is a Goodfellas bust-out waiting to happen, and whether a $2,500 card selling course could ever be worth it (spoiler: our mentor was free). We're joined by ANAK from the original RNG Games Discord — the guy who taught half of us how to sell before we ever hit record. He shares the burnout story that changed how he buys product, a Card Kingdom trade-in strategy nobody at this table had heard before, and why your time-to-money ratio matters more than your profit. Also in this episode: Rob finally owns a Dark Charizard, a kid takes him for ransom over a $20 Vulpix, Bronze quits TCGplayer Direct, and someone forgot to hit the record button.
