eli5 : How does the card trading work?

797 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?

1. The valuable cards are valuable because people choose to pay money for them.

2. The company can print more of the rare cards, but they usually don’t, as that would make them not rare.

3. They’re rare because not many people have them, and whoever is lucky enough to pull the rare card first.

4. We can verify them as authentic because not many fakers have access to the exact manufacturing processes as the real company, so you can look at the details.

5. Digital card trading is the same, people like it for the collection, and it’s more convenient than physical cards.
