Trading cards—Pokémon specifically—are a huge market for collectors, but scalpers often prevent most fans from purchasing cards at retail prices. Maybe GameStop can find a way to prevent scalpers from buying up huge stocks of inventory.

The stock sunk 25% on the session after announcing a private offering of $1.75 billion of convertible senior notes. George talks about why the reaction to the downside is so stark and explains how its Bitcoin treasury plans don't have as much leverage compared to companies like Strategy (MSTR). ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Since the transfer portal era began, WVU has had several players who made an impact on their respective teams; whether it be on the field, on the court, or in the hearts of fans. There have also been many grad transfers who made an impact before the transfer portal was even a thing. In this episode, Couz will countdown his top five one year players in the history of West Virginia Mountaineer sports. Former West Virginia defensive back, Beanie Bishop, drew the ire of Pitt Panther fans by wiping his feet on a Pitt logo. However, it made him even more loved by WVU football fans. Add that to his play on the field while he was in Morgantown, and Beanie has to be one of the top one year transfers in the history of WVU sports. But, is he number one? There have also been some really good WVU basketball players who played only one season for the Mountaineers. Names like Javon Small and Erik Stevenson, to name two. Do they make the list, and if so, how do they stack up against Bishop and other great one year West Virginia athletes? Couz gives his thoughts in the episode. #wvu #wvufootball #wvubasketball Sources: sports-reference.com ESPN.com Hailwv.com _________________________________________ ⭐️Sponsors: ⭐️ https://www.katzkantor.com http://appalachiadigital.com/couz/

In this episode, Couz discusses whether the West Virginia Mountaineers should consider going independent given the current state of college football realignment. He explores the potential benefits and drawbacks of leaving the Big 12 conference. Is it a viable option for WVU football to become an independent program? If so, what happens to WVU basketball and other sports? #wvu ⭐️Sponsors: ⭐️ https://www.katzkantor.com http://appalachiadigital.com/couz/
