Maybe it's always been a gambling addiction, i dont really know. My kids (and their whole school) don't play, but they buy and trade like they think they will make money. Some look up prices on TCG, some don't. They think alt art, misprints, and the one good card you get per pack is worth gold. I only let them buy with money they make.

To a certain extent it's always been a thing, but the wave of streamers and the like getting way too into a couple years back definitely boosted it.
