TCGplayer is an online trading card marketplace started in 2008 in Syracuse, New York.
It sells Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Lorcana, Flesh and Blood, and MetaZoo products.
[7] In 2021, DJ and streamer Steve Aoki collaborated with TCGplayer in order to sell "mystery boxes" of Pokémon cards, all the boxes together were worth around 3 million USD.
[9][10] In March 2020, a union of around 100 workers was established since, according to the unionists, the health care plan was less than admirable since prices had doubled and pay seemed to not match with the new changes.
[11] In 2023, TCGplayer workers established a union,[12][13] but EBay, the parent company of TCGplayer, used illegal practices including surveiling workers who wore pro-Union insignia and denying workers from joining the union,[14][15] afterwards, they would file multiple complaints to the National Labor Relations Board.
