Stadium-exclusive cards could become one of the hobby’s biggest new chase categories. Teams have already shown they can hide short prints and 1/1s inside giveaways, which means access can become part of the scarcity itself.
It’s not hard to imagine a future where a team announces 20,000 giveaway cards with 100 parallels, 10 autos and a single 1/1 mixed into the crowd — and collectors buy tickets specifically for the chase.
Would you buy a ticket just for a shot at the rare one?
