In response to "LIR Funko. I'm not sure it was just supply chain issues. I think it's also a lot of overproduction of unwanted Pops." by sycor

They baseball carded their product.

Over production to bolster a stock price for things that don’t retain their value.

It makes what WotC did for Magic the Gathering all the more impressive for so long to maintain secondary value.

Being old enough to remember beany babies and other collectibles it always made me SMH when I see people talking about the value of Pops. - sycor Mar 2, 12:19 4
- That's not entirely true. The company isn't the value - it's the value of the specific Pops to the buyer, and the scarcity of it. - JaxSean Mar 2, 12:29 2
  - That's true. But a lot pops (not all) are much closer to beanie babies than not in the volume they are produced. - sycor Mar 2, 12:34 1
