Hasbro bought Dungeons & Dragons for $146m in 2022 This week, it got leaked that they're going to start charging $30/mo to play online If only 5% of the 13.7 million active player convert, they'll make $20m a month 🤯 Talk about a great acquisition

Made my first big sports card purchase today - a Kevin Durant PSA 10 rookie card. It's currently valued at $550 & I bought it for $480 on @starstockmarket (in theory, that's an immediate +14% return) This is a perfect example of an arbitrage that i think exists right now (1/3)

This doesn't even factor the increase in value that I think we'll see once KD hits the floor - he's currently 12:1 odds to win the MVP (im gonna bet that too). Basically, I can capture future upside of him having an MVP season + capitalize on the immediate arbitrage (3/3)

If you spend enough time (it took me ~2 hours) you can basically look up the value of every card on different marketplaces and compare it to the ebay recent sales data. Most are the same, but every so often you'll find a huge discrepancy (my new KD is an example) (2/3)
