Shuhei (hereinafter NOVASTO) will welcome Tomoharu Saito (commonly known as Tomo Happy), chairman of Cardon Co., Ltd., which currently operates a general trading card store, as a guest and is a former professional player of the trading card game Magic the Gathering. We would like to inform you that we will be holding a conversation-style seminar on the growing trading card shop on January 18, 2024. [Background of the event]
In recent years, trading card games have not only been enjoyed as games, but have also come to have value as assets. Against this background, the market has grown rapidly over the past one to two years, and by 2022, the combined new and used markets will have expanded to a scale of 200 billion yen.

As a result, the number of businesses opening new trading card shops will continue to increase. However, problems and issues that stores must deal with, such as the problem of counterfeit cards caused by the bubble-like explosion in popularity and the theft of high-value cards, are becoming clearer.
Therefore, in this seminar, we will welcome Chairman Saito, who is well-versed in the trading card world, as a guest, and together with Kikuchi, who is NOVASTO’s sales manager and a trading card expert who has also appeared in the media, we will talk about trends in 2024 and how to survive in the future. Let’s talk about how you can run your store.
