“The market for trading cards is going crazy right now, even though the pandemic is going on….,” Marsh told Gamerant.com. “But we’re also focusing on the virtual side of our business right now. We do live breaks, which are a ton of fun. We’re getting to interact with our community and getting to know each other.”

He explained the role Magic: The Gathering played in his life when he was with the San Francisco 49ers.
