Decked Out - Unravelling the TCG Scene and the Art of Trading Card Grading

Despite the plethora of hobbies that exist these days, trading card and board games, once thought of as relics of the past, especially in this digital age, are still pretty much relevant, and in fact, continuing on, strong as ever! What’s the scene like these days? I Love KL paid a visit to Invictus Forge, a trading card and board games cafe in Tropicana Gardens Mall to speak to its director  and learn how well the trading card scene is currently thriving, how lucrative these cards are as a form of investment, and the intricacies of grading these cards for value preservation.
