Wouldn't it be cool if...

Okay, so you guys are talking about irl legal reasons this can't happen

But put those aside for a moment

Isn't the idea itself cool?

However, the cards do have different values, due to them having different rarities and powers that make some cards more desirable than others. Many people buy cards just to see if they'll get something they could sell for lots of money. But they still don't count because they weren't originally meant to have value? Doesn't the existence of different rarities make that impossible?

i feel like they could only get away with something like this in the manga

They were designed as collectibles, and not valuable items, and I don’t know why it’s like that.

But it's still random, driving you to buy them multiple times to collect more, without any actual guarantee your money will get you anything new.

You need to be a lawyer or something

You'd be really good at it!

And you have the smarts for law school!
