Happy New Year everyone!

I hope this year brings calmness and comfort to you all! The December month was interesting here at BTG, and I wanted to write a quick update primarily focused around our edited event schedule. Here's the weekly lineup from top to bottom, and skip below for our special event this month!

IN ADDITION,

We will also be hosting another special event this month! January 15th marks DEMO DAY 2, where we will return to our previous format to explore System Gate, One Piece, Digimon, and Vanguard. Come join us anytime from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM and try any of these for free, with a charity raffle at the end of the day! Each game completed gets a ticket, so get up to four entries on the day!

Other than that, things have continued to be swell! We've focused much of our back-end onto the TCGPlayer shop, which has turned a portion of our income toward to internet to alleviate some ebbs and flows that retail is always subject to. However, checking on it today, we have roughly 30k unique singles in the inventory! This provides a very consistent baseline of sales that I hope to expand progressively, but I've done maybe 10% of the labor involved on the cards, as the rest has all been volunteer work from some simply amazing folk here in shop.

To customers and volunteers alike, thank you ALL, SO MUCH, for helping me live this fun little dream!

Look forward to seeing you all in 2023!

Best wishes,
