Jake Ripz

The TCG community needs small businesses to thrive. Vendors, game shops, show coordinators, tournament organizers, etc are all a part of an eco system that is truly the backbone of the community. Imagine a world where small game shops don’t exist and card shows don’t have enough vendors. This would be detrimental to the hobby. As small business owners, we have experienced some of the most stressful days of our lives and have sacrificed so much and we know we are not alone.

However, I cannot quit. I will not quit. I am determined to help those who are core to the hobby because I truly believe TCGs are instrumental to mental health, which is something I’m incredibly passionate about.

I believe I can help. Even if it’s in the smallest way possible. As business owners in this industry, we can’t look at each other as competitors. We have to find be partners with a shared goal to grow together.

This is an opportunity for us to be vulnerable. Share our struggles. Help each other succeed and we will all succeed together and the hobby, collectors and players will benefit.

Share your struggles, ask your questions or give me feedback on what I can do to help in the comments.

Much love - Jake 🫶🏻
