Finished an anime and want to keep going in the manga? Don't just grab the next volume, because seasons rarely end on a volume break.

Here's the exact chapter to start for 18 anime, from Jujutsu Kaisen to Frieren: https://t.co/GI4tBSn1vo

We ranked every Magic Universes Beyond crossover, from the 2020 Godzilla cards to The Hobbit. Lord of the Rings, Final Fantasy and Avatar made S-tier.

What would you move up or down?

‘THE LEGEND OF KORRA’ is the 8th most watched series on Paramount+ worldwide today.

The series keeps RISING.

@SaffronOlive For scale: the headliner Smaug is the gold #249, about 500 copies. The only raw copy that's sold on TCGplayer went for $24,500 in August, and the two listed now start at $26,800. Brutal for whoever sent that in.

Festival in a Box: Atlanta was $249.99 yesterday. It sold out in about 20 minutes, and on TCGplayer it's already selling for $600 to $700.

Older Festival boxes still go for $317 to $385. Did anyone here actually get one?

[NerdSnack @HelloNerdsnack]

@GingerCand82920 The presale market is already pricing that in. Booster boxes are selling for about $240 on TCGplayer today against a $161.64 MSRP, and ETBs are going for around $106. Still over two weeks until Nov 6 though.

[NerdSnack @HelloNerdsnack]

Who's the stronger Avatar, Aang or Korra?

Aang took Ozai's bending away at 12. Korra fought Unalaq and Vaatu fused together as a giant spirit.

[NerdSnack @HelloNerdsnack]

@mugiwara_vt Nice grab. Heads up, the box is built for Commander Draft rather than regular sealed: 8 players, three packs each, two picks at a time, then 60-card Commander decks split into two pods of four.

[NerdSnack @HelloNerdsnack]

@joelaremagic TCGplayer is even higher right now. The first five sales there went for $600 to $700. Worth knowing Mystery Booster Commander comes back at MagicCon Atlanta (Nov 13-15) and future MagicCons, so paying that now feels rough.

[NerdSnack @HelloNerdsnack]

If you're buying Riftbound's Gift of the Rift Bundle for the packs, you're paying about $154 extra.

Here's what's actually inside and who it's for: https://t.co/xuluiBORuf

[NerdSnack @HelloNerdsnack]

@Hobby_Hot_Take Numbers are in. It sold out in about 20 minutes, and the first five TCGplayer sales landed between $600 and $700. A sealed Mystery Booster Commander box on its own has sold in the same range. Wild for a $249.99 bundle.

[NerdSnack @HelloNerdsnack]

@OneTrueVillain Agreed, the artist lineup is the best part. The 28 reprints alone add up to about $241 in singles against the $199.99 price, so the art is basically a bonus.

[NerdSnack @HelloNerdsnack]

Secret Lair's first Marvel Countdown Kit is $199.99 for 30 cards, and five of them carry about 70% of the value.

Here's the full card list and what each one is worth: https://t.co/tcy0Fm7OO2

[NerdSnack @HelloNerdsnack]

@Smittenseraph @lydcatchan That Sylveon is a great chase to land. It's the 30th Celebration special illustration rare (153/128), and it's selling for about $43 on TCGplayer right now.

[NerdSnack @HelloNerdsnack]

@Blossomcats_ Good luck! Retail is the price to beat here: last year's boxes (Las Vegas and Chicago 2025) go for about $354 and $383 on TCGplayer now.

[NerdSnack @HelloNerdsnack]

@MTGSecretLair For anyone on the fence: older Festival in a Box bundles sell for about $310 to $383 on TCGplayer right now (Amsterdam 2026 through Chicago 2025), and Las Vegas 2024 is around $623. This one is $249.99.

[NerdSnack @HelloNerdsnack]

Festival in a Box: Atlanta 2026 went on sale today at $249.99 (limit 2). For context, here's what the older ones sell for on TCGplayer right now:

Amsterdam 2026: ~$310
Las Vegas 2026: ~$328
Las Vegas 2025: ~$354
Chicago 2025: ~$383
Las Vegas 2024: ~$623

Are you grabbing one?

[NerdSnack @HelloNerdsnack]

@RiftboundGG Data point for that: Baron Nashor (Ultimate) still sells for about $1,828, five months after Unleashed. Radiance's Packed Amphitheater Ultimate is about 4x rarer (roughly 1 in 4,000 packs), and the cheapest of its two listings is $4,495.

[NerdSnack @HelloNerdsnack]

@Ajaxyourmom That's the K/DA Seraphine, SP5/005. It's the priciest of the five K/DA cards right now: the cheapest of 10 listings on TCGplayer is about $239. Huge Pre-Rift pull.

[NerdSnack @HelloNerdsnack]

The rarest card in Riftbound Radiance shows up in about 1 of every 4,000 packs, and the cheapest listed copy is $4,495.

Here's every Overnumbered, K/DA and Ultimate Rare card, ranked by price: https://t.co/FIW8ALaMxh
