Trading Card Game's or TCG's are worldwide playing cards. They range in all types of games and gameplay. Some of the more popular brand names include Pokémon, Magic the Gathering, MetaZoo, Yu Gi Oh, and more!
Magic The Gathering started the TCG movement in 1993. By the end of 1994 Magic sold over 1 billion cards. Since then, Magic has sold over 30 billion cards, Yu-Gi-Oh has sold over 35 billion cards and Pokémon has sold over 43 billion cards as of early 2022.
TCG's can be complex and difficult to master, if you choose to play. Some collect cards for investment or simply to collect. With cards recently reaching into the millions of dollars investing isn't a necessarily a bad thing. Check out our blog for more info on investing.
With tournaments and sales worldwide these 3 giants have opened the doors to so many other TCG's! We will do our best to include up and coming TCG's in your ROCO box each month!

Funko was originally founded in 1998 but then sold in 2005, again in 2013 and then again in 2015 by ACON investments. Late 2017 Funko was put on the stock market, which ended up being the worst initial public offering of the 21st century. Since then, they have acquired brands like Loungefly and more recently Mondo. Headquartered in Washington Funko today is worth over $1.13 billion.

Most Funko's are in the $5-$15 range. Some called grails or vaults have been sold for as much as $6,000+ for 1 pop.
