It serves its purpose

Just like many other hobbies out there, the world of card collecting is a fascinating pass time that deserves way more recognition and analysis.

This documentary, while interesting and well-researched, only covers this activity on a superficial level, focusing mostly on its early days and the financial side of the industry. This limited approach only feels more prominent due to the length of the film, and the fact that the editing is nothing to write home about.

At the end of the day, I think the film serves its purpose of documenting the hobby, but it lacks any real substance to be anything special.
