eli5 : How does the card trading work?

798 views

I head about trading playing cards for money but what makes them so valuable? Do the companies can’t print more cards? How is a card considered rare and who possesses these cards first? How do we verify it’s authenticity. Also I’ve come to know that there is digital card trading too, How does that work?

* Companies can make however many of their cards they would like to.
* But they are in the business of selling cards.
* If they create some cards that are very rare, they know collectors will seek out those cards.
* However most cards are sold in sealed packs.
* Collectors have to buy lots of packs in the hopes of finding a rare card.
* So this drives sales of packs of cards.
